GOP are parasite engorged on suffering.

Candidate Trump on healthcare:

May 21, 2015
I'm not going to cut Medicare or Medicaid.

Sept 25, 2015
Everybody's got to be covered.

Feb 17, 2016
We're going to have great plans. They're going to be much less expensive and they're going to be much better.

Oct 25, 2016
You're going to have such great healthcare at a tiny fraction of the cost, and it is going to be so easy.

Nov 13, 2016
It will be better healthcare, much better for less money. Not a bad combination.

"We will immediately repeal and replace ObamaCare - and nobody can do that like me. We will save $'s and have much better healthcare!"
-- Trump tweet in February 2016

Pres-elect Trump on healthcare:

"We're going to have insurance for everybody ... 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."
-- Pres-elect Trump to the Washington Post in January 2017

A decade later, and he still has nothing to meet his promises?

18 Confusing Things Donald Trump Has Said About Health Care (2017)
www.politico.com

... During the 2016 presidential campaign, Donald Trump railed against the "failing" Obamacare and said he would replace it with "something terrific" once in office. He's pushed Congress hard to overhaul a law that he says is "collapsing" and hurting American families.

But it's never been clear just what, exactly, Trump had in mind. He's praised single-payer systems in Canada and Scotland and said that Australia's government-run approach produces "better health care than we do." ...

Wait, what?

Pres Trump has praised single-payer healthcare systems?

"(Trump's) pushed Congress hard to overhaul a law that he says is "collapsing" and hurting American families."

I literally snorted when I read that.

Anybody else believe this horse paste waste?

On Halloween 2025, Donald Trump STILL didn't have a concept of a plan.

@#10 ... Anybody else believe this horse paste waste? ...

My guess (and it is only that, a guess) would be that the number of those who believe the phlegm emanating from Pres Trump's mouth is not increasing.

To wit ...

Tracking the presidency - 310 days into Donald Trump's term
www.economist.com

... The president's net approval rating is -19%,
down 1.4 points since last week.

38% approve, 57% disapprove, 4% not sure ...

...

Once the honeymoon is over, presidents tend to lose popularity quickly. But no recent president has fallen so low so quickly as Donald Trump.

At the start of his second term public opinion was nearly evenly divided between those who approved of the president and those who did not.

Things have since changed -- his net approval is now lower than at any point in his first term.

Rather than rebounding after the end of America's longest ever government shutdown, Mr Trump's popularity has continued to sink. ...

How can could it possibly be to develop a health-care plan for the people of the wealthiest Country on the planet?

[serious question]

#14 | Posted by LampLighter at 2025-11-26 03:12 AM

Lamp, I'm not talking about you personally...

But...

When you say "Wealthiest", you only see money in someone else's pockets.

I would agree, that would pay for this by taxing EVERYONE the SAME percentage of income, but some progressives/poor people don't like that, you know, paying their fair share. They want a tiered system like our tax system, where the poor pay less.

I don't agree with that.

#15 Ah, yes... Major DEI Boaz wants to screw poor and middle-class people by enforcing a regressive tax rate on all Americans.

Because it sounds so "fair," right?

You do know what a regressive tax is, right Major DEI Boaz?

"taxing EVERYONE the SAME percentage of income"

So, no favorable tax treatment for long term capital gains, like we have today?

The investor class won't agree to that.
