It just never ends with this guy. First he claims he came up with the Term "Priming the Pump" to get the economy jump started.

Now it is that he knows everything about health care. It is no wonder he thinks it would be an honor to meet little Kim and that the NK leader is a "smart cookie". They both use the same mirror.

Quote:
He acknowledged to Time interviewers that health care was not an area of expertise in his previous job. ?It was just not high on my list,? he said. But he added that ?in a short period of time I understood everything there was to know about health care.?

Then to show he is willing to blow up the system without a replacement.

Quote:

One health issue Trump is clearly not ignorant about is his power to stop paying insurance companies who are providing help to some low-income policyholders in the health insurance exchanges. The ?cost-sharing reductions? are the subject of a lawsuit that was appealed by the Obama administration, and Trump could, in fact, stop the payments by dropping the appeal.

Insurers say uncertainty about whether they will get that money is a key reason they are asking for higher rates or dropping out of markets.

Trump did not help allay that uncertainty. He told The Economist that ?we don't have to subsidize it. You know if I ever stop wanting to pay the subsidies, which I will.?
 
What will the democrats do if all of the insurance companies bail? I think they will do that and then there will be no choice but to get involved in a new program. May be the intent all along.
 
That is a losers argument. If it implodes and Trump is the one holding the bag it empowers the Democrats to get more of what they want. Why not preempt them and get something done now when you have the majorities?

No Sh#t? tell that to all the loosers that keep fishing for bullsh#t.
 
I am all for doing it right and doing it now but there is no way a single democrat will ever vote to replace Obamacare with any program. You really think old Nasty Pelosi would vote for that? I think it will have to implode to get a replacement. The GOP can't go nuclear as they can't agree on a bill that makes all of them happy.

That isn't what Trump said. He said it is such a fantastic plan that covers everyone for much less that the voters would be clamoring for it. I agree that there isn't a democrat in either the House or Senate that will go along but I thought that is part of the Trump myth of being the best deal maker in the history of the Universe. For a guy that only took a week or two to understand everything there is to know about health care he should be able to swing a deal with the Democrats with just half his brain.

They could make Obamacare implode tomorrow if they wanted to by dropping the lawsuit over the subsidies and letting those getting the extra help pay full freight. It would take about 3 months and enough people would have to stop paying, plus the insurance companies would have to eat the losses. All it would cost Republicans is their ability to make deals from a position of power instead of a position of desperation.

It would be far better if the President quit chumming the waters, pre baiting the hooks and casting the net that helps the people doing the fishing. He has nobody to blame for the way his White House functions but himself.

All Trump has to do is draft a bill granting the people a health care plan like he promised them and the democrats will be on it like stink on Notags.


Is that asking too much? if it is then that's 100% on Trump's head.
