Democracy 3.0: A science-fiction story about what comes next in America
- BuddhaHat0
Looks like there might be an impeachment on the cards by the GOP sooner rather than later, if a single word of this article is true:
Trump Hints At Obamacare Replacement That Would Look Nothing Like What Republicans Have In Mind
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/en…"...Speaking to the Post’s Robert Costa, Trump said his new health care plan would mean “insurance for everybody” with “much lower deductibles.”
Also, Trump said, he will call for the government to negotiate with pharmaceutical companies directly, forcing them to lower their prices.
“They’re politically protected but not anymore,” Trump said of the drug industry.
Trump didn’t offer more details about what he has in mind, or give a precise date for when his plan would be ready for the public to see. But, he said, “It’s very much formulated down to the final strokes. We haven’t put it in quite yet but we’re going to be doing it soon.”
Trump added that he would probably wait until his nominee for secretary of health and human services, Rep. Tom Price (R-Ga.), has gone through the confirmation process and taken office. The Senate Finance Committee, which has jurisdiction over Price’s appointment, has not yet scheduled a hearing.
Paul Ryan and his Rand-loving scumbag pals must be freaking out over this one!

OK, I'd like to see at least a mile of this wall built to see if this idiot will put his money where his mouth is.

In Case You Missed It:
The Senate voted 51 to 48:
1. To end coverage for preexisting conditions, veterans benefits, and aid to rural hospitals.
2. To remove discrimination protection for women in healthcare.
3. Against the provision allowing children to remain on their parent's insurance till the age of 26.
4. To cut off funding for the Child Health Insurance Program (CHIP).
5. Against ACA contraceptive coverage and maternity care provision.
6. To direct committees to send budget legislation to defund and repeal the Affordable Care Act.For those who get health insurance through work, no pre-existing conditions. Lifetime caps for coverage are back for everyone.
Real and disastrous actions are being taken that will affect more than just the 20-30 million people who will lose their health care coverage and the 3 million people who will lose their jobs.
Despite their assertions of this being an action to "repeal and replace," no viable alternative plan has been proposed.The House of Representatives voted 227-198.
Congratulations idiots and Welcome to the Corporate States of America.

I can't believe I live in a country that forced Barack Obama to show his birth certificate, but won't make Donald Trump show his taxes.
