Re: Trump calls for (and endorses?) single payer?

Bruce, I'm not sure if you want the governments hands in health care. Anything the government seems to touch turns to sh*t. Just look at the VA hospitals. My experience with the VA has not been very good.

Re: Trump calls for (and endorses?) single payer?

Didn't say anything about why I wanted.  I had just picked up on one of Trump's (copious) Tweets and was trying to make sense of it.

 

If he has some plan for affordable care at lower cost for everybody he should pass it along to the Congressional Majority leadership as they seem to be struggling with coming up with one.

Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest.   Anyone paying attention to what he was saying knew he was a big government guy.

Great. VA care for the whole country. What a disaster.

On second thought maybe not that bad. Dems will team up with the establishment repubs to stop him.

You`re divining a lot out of Trump`s tweet, there Bruce.  Obama and Johnathon Gruber put a "poison pill" in Obamacare, all the bad was back loaded and there was no "good" in it even on the frontend, although some Kool aid slurping Democrats claim it was the most wonderful thing since their EBT card.   Trump knows that even if the transition out of socialized medicine goes swimmingly, the Wa-Po and NYT will hunt someone down that feels their dog was kicked and do all kinds of fake news click bait stories on them.

 

Trump is warning the Repubs to have a bone handy to throw the deadbeats to shut them up before they completely trashcan it.   #smartverysmart

OBSTRUCTIONISTS!

Re: Trump calls for (and endorses?) single payer?

Sure. Why not?

 

Of course there would be the need to take  it off of the GOP House starvation, "prove that government doesn't work by taking every step possible to assure that it doesn't" budget track. Then cut 'er loose.  

 

Gets Trump on Rushmore, where he's convinced that he'll surely belong.

Well I do have to say, trump has acted a bit
More "presidential" as of late, and has not
Been given the oath of office.

I don't believe he is advocating single payer,
But trying to educate the Republicans and give
Them some sage advice.

The Republicans have basically went nuts the last several days.

The deal where they passes something, behind closed do and not make it known.
That will come back to haunt them...which it should

Trump told them we need to drain the swamp...they turn
Around, build the dike higher, and turned on the water hydrant.

The Republicans think "we have to do something"...

Doing away with it, and saying "we'll figure something out...is stupid

They have one shot to do it right...this is an explosive issue...and if they good it will cause shockwaves throughout the country.

I believe he was meaning to say, made sure you have
Something good, before you throw it away.
Folks I know some of you have a policy that is killing, but the quickest it can take is a year, since most insurance CONTRACTS are annual.

They have a few months to get it right...if they were to stop
Everything, as they want....would be a nightmare
At best. You can't pull the rug out from under people
And insurance company's.

Remember, most insurance is a CONTRACT...
IF CONGRESS WANTS TO COME INTO THE BUSINESS WORLD, AND REWRITE CONTRACTS...BOYS AND GIRLS WE HAVE EVEN BIGGER PROBLEMS
