Question for robotron/omg and other Trump supporters:
If the Republican health care bill is so great, why did Trump just call it "mean"?
- If, for some reason it makes it through the senate, he'll gladly sign and call it a smashing success. The contradiction will be utterly lost on him.mandomafioso
- I actually appreciate he sees it for what it is but it won't change anything if it gets through.mandomafioso
- Trumps sheeple will agree with Trump. The guy could turn around and say he has a better plan than building a wall, and they will all bend over and agree.inteliboy
- You know Insurers are bowing out of Obamacare, you realize people will continue to lose unless we do something about it. Nothing is perfect but the one linerrobotron3k
- by Obama on June 6, 2009 "If you like the plan you have, you can keep it. If you like the doctor you have, you can keep your doctor, too." is not true. He liedrobotron3k
- So I'm positive CNN took his words out of context. But at least he's trying to put a bandage on the wound he did not make.robotron3k
- a reasonable person would then find a way to fix it. instead gop has decided that it's better to leave vulnerable people without insurance.dorf
- you could also point blame at the republicans blocking and fighting EVERYTHING that Obama tried to achieve.inteliboy
- ie. the blame can always be pointed back in time due to the domino effect of nonsense partisan politics and gerrymandering.inteliboy
- Though TRUMP is in charge now, and it's swampy as ever. Time to wake up to that fact robo.inteliboy
- lol robomgtardmonospaced
- Do you not remember that Obama had to revise his plan dozens of times with all parties to get it passed? The line from 2009 was changed BY REPUBLICANSmonospaced
- It wasn't a lie. It was made impossible by the opposition and through open, transparent negotiations and revisions. Not closed door like the assholes now.monospaced
- The opposition are not the ones who caused skyrocketing premiums or for promised costs to go up $2500 instead of down as promised.omg
- They're simply wasn't enough young folks from 18-35 to keep premiums low. For many, the $695 penalty fee was better than paying for insurance.omg
- And this bill by the Republicans keeps that same structure in place while reducing tax credits to buy insurance. Good luck explaining how that will help.yuekit
- Republicans don't give a single fck about reducing cost, they just want to give a tax break to their donors. Which is why even Trump called the bill a disaster.yuekit

- Obamacare left 27million folks without insurance. As Trump tries to clean up and diffuse the ticking time bomb before health insurance spirals out of control.omg
- But go ahead and keep yammering about Trump, his supporters, the swamp, and the GOP as they clean up the fuck shit caused by Dems.omg
- @yuekit. That doesn't even makes sense. You're talking about the additional 2.35% tax folks making over $200k had to spend for the same health insurance.omg
- Stealing people's money doesn't help either, but the explanation is that they're paying their fair equal share towards health insurance.omg
- omg the Republican health care bill will increase the number of uninsured by 22 million(!) So if that is your metric then a complete epic failure on your side.yuekit
- And please let's stop pretending Trump knows what he's doing. He doesn't even like the Republican bill. Where is his plan?yuekit
- That analysis is based primarily because the penalty for NOT having insurance would be eliminatedomg
- That might be part of it, but also lower tax credits to buy insurance and higher deductibles.yuekit
- Just seems like a bad idea all around...I guess that's why Trump hates it and Republican senators are saying they will block it from even being debated.yuekit
- It'll also depend on which state you're in and how the state manages tax credits.omg
- Alaska benchmark health insurance coverage costs $12,600 on average, where in New Hampshire- a low cost state, would cost $3,600.omg
- Sure just look at the amazing fiscal management in Republican states like Kansas and Louisiana.yuekit

- BTW tax credits are part of the proposed GOP plan...not the current system. Just in case you were confused :)yuekit
