THE TRUMP PRESIDENCY

[HairOfTheDog]

They've had YEARS to come up with a better plan and this is what it is. Ahahahaha!

I listened to several Republicans talk about this plan yesterday, it mainly consisted of them saying what a disaster ACA is, over and over again. Whatta disaster, whatta failure, it's in a death spiral, blahblahfuckingblah. Damn shame that those who support trump can't be forced to accept it. I'd love to see them all stuck with this plan.

Bullshit, 1 year ago hardly anyone thought Trump would win. He is the new plan, not the old guard republicans, they are almost as bad as the gems albeit not quite as delusional. Trump put together a campaign and made it work, he won the election and inside of 90 days he has a plan to R&R ACA. Its a first draft, it took barry a couple years to but that abomination in place and its taken the last ew years to become the obvious, undeniable failure that it is. Give Trump some time, he has already done more FOR this country than barry did in 8 years.

Give him time, huh?

Well, who campaigned on the promise that he was gonna rip up Obamacare on day 1, which would be easy, and replace it with a beautiful plan that would ensure EVERYONE is covered for cheaper? Your man Trump, that's who.

Who then said, "er, this healthcare stuff is kinda complicated after all and changes won't happen in my first 100 days as I'd indicated?" Yeah, your man Trump again, that's who.

Now, you've got a plan that keeps much of Obamacare, swaps tax credits for subsidies, doesn't specify how those tax credits are gonna be paid for (could it be taxpayers will be paying for the credits going to those who choose to have large families, ya think?), and allows insurance companies to charge people 30% more if they don't maintain continuous coverage. That's a higher cost, less flexibility, and more an infringement on personal choice/freedom than knowing I'm going to pay $650 or 2.5% of my income for choosing to go out-of-pocket for awhile.

Since it's shiite, and a lot of Republican congresspersons know it's shiite and won't vote for it, a defunding of Planned Parenthood was tossed in as a carrot. "Well, we know this isn't what President Trump promised, but here's a carrot for ya, conservative elected officials. Oh, and we're gonna attempt to cover your assess and President Trump's ass by making sure the key components that impact people negatively won't go into effect until after the midterm elections of 2018 and the 2020 presidential election."
