Trumpcare: Making America Healthy Again

[creekster]

I wouldn't expect this kind of ignorance from you. Daily Herald was referencing the name of the song, not the lyrics.

You should know by now that no type of ignorance is beneath me.

Its just an art piece now, not a protest. More of a "thinker".

Trump doesn't really care what's in any healthcare bill. He just wants something passed so he can put his name on it and claim it's way better than Obamacare.

Almost seven years ago Il Pad posted a thread bidding farewell to America because of Obamacare. Miss that guy.

Hold on, crazy irrational rhetoric about something a politician is doing? Ive never seen that before, people only use rational logic to talk about the current #notmypresident

Trump is not your average president by any means. It's not regular old partisan bantering, this guy is a fucking unpredictable idiot and libertine. We have a reality TV star/Twitter troll for our president.

Haha. False equivalence.

Also, there seems to be more Trump apologetics around here than anything these days.

On Friday, Trump stuck to his guns – with a clarification. “Of course the Australians have better healthcare than we do – everybody does,” he wrote on Twitter. “Obamacare is dead! But our healthcare will soon be great.”

But Trump told Turnbull: “We have a failing healthcare. I shouldn’t say this to our great gentleman and my friend from Australia, because you have better healthcare than we do.”

This is an interesting WSJ article (no pay wall!) about the coming Medicaid funding shortfall in an Oregon rural community. It's not mine, but I've seen similar benefits as Medicaid and other insurance companies enrolled new patients. Our hospital's main free clinic saw a sharp decrease in utilization with the increase in insured. We saw less bad debt, just like in the article. There is a sense of better health in the community; I don't think anyone has hard data, but it just feels better. But the bill is coming due, as Oregon now has to figure out how to fund more Medicaid dollars as the federal infusion dries up.

This is exactly what the Repub governors who refused to expand Medicaid under the ACA said would happen.

What a joke. Single payer for no frills, bare bones essential care and preventive care is the only sane solution at this point.

This is pretty good and funny counter to the "People are going to die!" if Obamacare is repealed and replaced:

Ha ha that was a good video. They even got the exploding whipped cream canister that killed that French Instagram girl in there. Nice Native American slam in Warren too.
