Healthcare bill is dead

[Willie99]

baby steps people, baby steps

can't drain the swamp in 60 days, there's a lot of sludge that goes all the way to the center of the earth

and this is no victory for the democrats either, they still own the clusterfucker known as Obamacare, they need a replacement to attack

"well vote for us, we know we fucked up healthcare, but the Republicans couldn't change it and we fought to keep the program y'all hate in place"

face)(*^%

obamacare is in need of a tuneup even hillary said that during the campaign.
the issue is that the president wanted to take credit for any changes (unless they
were bad or didn't work out in which case he will say he was just following orders)
in the ACA rather than communicate and work with the dems to do something
together that would benefit the country. sharing credit is not the donald's
strength nor is accepting blame. at some point something will have to be
done to this healthcare system, social security, and the deficit; it would be
great if BOTH parties thought more about the the country rather than trying
to score political points and worrying about being reelected.

"Forget the little shit!!"

Insiders from Donnie's two very short "negotiating" meetings this past week say Donnie was absolutely unaware of the specifics of the AHA, therefore it was impossible to advance any substantive discussion.

Several confessed that it was painfully apparent he was unable to read and to decipher even short passages of the proposed bill, so he redirected talks to off-color stories, anecdotal riffs on some of his other business deals in past years and veiled threats against GOP Reps who failed to follow his demands.

Donnie's literacy is reported to be equal to your average 13 year old eighth grader. And never was this handicap more crippling than in this past week's embarrassing shitfest

Yeah, it is very typical of Wharton graduates who go on to make billions of dollars to read at an 8th grade level.

What is so funny about your continued pot shots at Trump's intelligence is that there is no dispute, none at all, Trump is much more intelligent than you.

The ACA needs to be burned.....not tuned-up. Just let it crash. Donald didnt write the dumbas bill to begin with.

Its all falling in place. Rand Pauls version will be what passes.

FWIW, my observation. One of the many differences between
the Republicans and Democrats is, when in the majority
Republicans won't pass a lousy bill but the Democrats will.

[FONT=&quot]Donald Trump told the Washington Post that under his healthcare plan, “We’re going to have insurance for everybody,” but declined to reveal details of how that will be accomplished.
Robert Costa reported that in a Saturday night interview, the president-elect said that he will unveil his plan soon with the help of Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Speaker of the House Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI).
“The Congress can’t get cold feet because the people will not let that happen,” Trump said.
Promising “lower numbers, lower deductible,” Trump was shy with the details about how he plans to widen coverage but lower costs simultaneously.
“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,” he said. He indicated that he is waiting for his nominee for secretary of health and human services Rep. Tom Price (R-GA) to be confirmed.
Congressional Republicans voted last week to overturn Pres. Barack Obama’s signature legislation the Affordable Care Act (ACA) — also known as “Obamacare” — in spite of the fact that they have no immediate replacement plan to account for the millions of Americans who will lose their health coverage.
Trump says there’s nothing to worry about.
“I think we will get approval. I won’t tell you how, but we will get approval,” he assured Costa.
People who rely on the ACA for health coverage, Trump said, “can expect to have great health care. It will be in a much simplified form. Much less expensive and much better.”
“It’s not going to be their [ACA] plan,” he said. “It’ll be another plan. But they’ll be beautifully covered. I don’t want single-payer. What I do want is to be able to take care of people.”
Trump also said that he does not intend to cut Medicare, which was echoed by Reince Priebus — the new administration’s chief of staff — on Sunday.
When Costa pressed Trump about potential turbulence and instability in financial markets that could result from his policies, the incoming president was sanguine.
“Stock drops and America goes up,” he said. “I don’t care. I want to do it right or not at all.”

The presidential election is drawing closer, and the two contenders — Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton — have both made headlines over their past and current convictions.
Mr. Trump has vowed to repeal and replace President Obama's Affordable Care Act, and the Republican nominee has not shied away from voicing his opinion about the turbulent healthcare landscape.
Here are eight memorable healthcare quotes Mr. Trump has said over the years:
1. At an American Airlines Center in Dallas last year, Mr. Trump said, "Obamacare. We're going to repeal it, we're going to replace it, get something great. Repeal it, replace it, get something great!"
2. During his June 2015 presidential announcement speech, Mr. Trump said, "But Obamacare kicks in in 2016. Really big league. It is going to be amazingly destructive. Doctors are quitting. I have a friend who's a doctor, and he said to me the other day, 'Donald, I never saw anything like it. I have more accountants than I have nurses.' It's a disaster. My patients are beside themselves. They had a plan that was good. They have no plan now."
3. In September 2014, Mr. Trump tweeted, "I'm not against vaccinations for your children, I'm against them in one massive dose. Spread them out over a period of time & autism will drop!"
4. Mr. Trump told The Hill the federal government should not play a huge role in healthcare regulation. He said, "The only way the government should be involved, they have to make sure those companies are financially strong, so that if they have catastrophic events or they have a miscalculation, they have plenty of money. Other than that, it's private."
5. In a 1999 interview with Larry King Live, Mr. Trump took a different stance, saying, "If you can't take care of your sick in the country, forget it, it's all over. I mean, it's no good. So I'm very liberal when it comes to healthcare. I believe in universal healthcare. I believe in whatever it takes to make people well and better."
6. In an interview on "60 Minutes," Scott Pelley asked Mr. Trump about his plans to fix the healthcare system.
"There's many different ways, by the way. Everybody's got to be covered. This is an un-Republican thing for me to say because a lot of times they say, 'No, no, the lower 25 percent that can't afford private'… I am going to take care of everybody. I don't care if it costs me votes or not. Everybody's going to be taken care of much better than they're taken care of now."
7. When Mr. Pelley asked Mr. Trump how his health law would care for the uninsured, Mr. Trump said, "the government's gonna pay for it. But we're going to save so much money on the other side. But for the most it's going to be a private plan and people are going to be able to go out and negotiate great plans with lots of different competition with lots of competitors with great companies and they can have their doctors, they can have plans, they can have everything."
8. At a Republican rally in New Hampshire in February, Mr. Trump said negotiating with pharmaceutical companies could reap huge savings, according to Fortune.
The candidate said, "Because the drug companies have an unbelievable lobby. And these guys that run for office, that are on my left and right and plenty of others, they're all taken care of by the drug companies. And they're never going to put out competitive bidding. So I said to myself wow, let me do some numbers. If we competitively bid, drugs in the United States, we can save as much as $300 billion a year."

http://www.factcheck.org/2015/11/bogus-meme-targets-trump/

Yeah, you're right. That's far too perceptive and accurate for an idiot like Drumpf to have actually said. Good job. When Factcheck, Snopes, Politifact say it, you know it's true. My bad.

What are the facts on the London attacker?

 

[SmallDaddy]

Is a native born, not a refugee

 

[Albatross]

Is a native born, not a refugee

I think he was wondering if he was muslim or Catholic

 

[ERockMoney]

At least we should get the $300 billion from negotiating with big pharma, "who's getting away with murder". Start draining that swamp that's been an issue for years for both Republicans and Democrats.

Oh wait......

I want Guesstard to say he was muslim but he wont do it

 

[The Guesser]

I think he was wondering if he was muslim or Catholic

He was a Catholic born Brit, who converted to Muslim. Pretty simple, and easy to look up at legit places by sane people, not the insane places Deranged snowflake posters like Greenbacks and the irrelevancy use for their alternate facts.
