If Trump wasn't such a fucking idiot he would know how to better communicate what he means through his verbiage.

Not really. Do you have a REAL answer?Originally posted by The Feral Slasher View Post"I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."Comment

Yes. A REAL asnswer is that I don't expect the Trump administration to ever make health care more affordable for working stiffs. Is there any reason anyone should expect him to accomplish this ? Is there any evidence he is really trying ? I think some articles I read indicated that some people would benefit from his policies, while others wouldn't...but I didn't pay too much attention. I don't get the impression that helping working stiffs is a huge priority for him or many other politicians.Originally posted by Mithrandir View Post---------------------------------------------

I agree. He's the same as the other politicians. But for some reason folks think that he does care about the working stiffs.Originally posted by The Feral Slasher View Post"I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."Comment

And the ACA was working quite well for most people. yes, it did have flaws, and yes, needed quite a few tweaks, but it was a hell of a lot better than tens of millions having no insurance at all. Then Trump came in and the GOP started tearing it down like a pack of wolves ripping at the hamstrings of an Elk. They couldn't kill it immediately, but they slowed it down to the point where it's eventually going to just cease to exist.

That was a fairly predictable response, given that the original bill was rammed downed the throats of the country on a partisan vote when polls at the time indicated that half of us didn't want it. While it sucks that the GOP tore it down in ham-fisted fashion with no viable replacement, I think there's some wisdom to be gained about pushing through divisive partisan initiatives at the federal level in the first place.Originally posted by Hornsby View Post"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less."

Per Trump -Originally posted by The Feral Slasher View Post
The as-yet-unreleased Obamacare repeal and replacement plan would have “insurance for everybody."
Trump counselor Kellyanne Conway made a promise that almost certainly can’t be met with the House bill: “We don't want anyone who currently has insurance to not have insurance.” (Ok, this was Conway, not Trump so disregard is you want)
“I firmly believe that nobody will be worse off financially in the process that we’re going through.” (Also not Trump, this was HHS Secretary Tom Price talking about the Republican plan)
"We have to get rid of the artificial lines around the states,” Trump said during the second presidential debate. (talking about removing cross state barriers to insurance coverage which would, in his theory, reduce insurance costs)
“I am going to take care of everybody … Everybody’s going to be taken care of much better than they’re taken care of now.” (Trump in a 60 minutes interview)
Coverage for everyone was "just human decency". Trump told CBS's Scott Pelley on 60 Minutes that "everybody's got to be covered." (More from the 60 minutes interview)
"We're going to have insurance for everybody," he said in an interview with The Washington Post. "There was a philosophy in some circles that if you can't pay for it, you don't get it. That's not going to happen with us." (WaPo interview as president elect)
I quit looking after these, I am sure I could probably find more quotes. I agree with you in that I don't expect the Trump administration to ever make health care more affordable but all the above certainly point to some people expecting him to try to do something about it. I am just too jaded with DC to expect anyone to do anything unless they benefit.Comment
