| NightDragon83 said: Newsflash: There are millions of uninsured people TODAY who are forced to pay the ObamaCare "penalty" (aka TAX) because they can't afford the actual health coverage under ObamaCare, or they just don't want to spend their hard earned money on inferior healthcare that has high premiums / deductibles. 'Member when President Obama said "if you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan?" Or, "if you like your Doctor, you can keep your Doctor?" Or even better... "the Affordable Care Act (sorry, I just threw up in my mouth a little) will save the average family $2,500 a year?" I 'member. And then it got passed and put into place, and EVERYONE'S premiums went up while insurers were either forced out of the market altogether or offered limited options through the ACA, and millions of people lost access to their preferred Drs and hospitals of choice. Obama lied, people died. |
You want to talk about lies? Motherfucker, watch me work.
Remember when Trump said (repeatedly, might I add) that he WASN'T going to cut Medicaid? The new healthcare bill cuts almost $800 bil from it.
Remember when Trump said he wouldn't gut protections for pre-existing conditions? Low and behold, that turned out to be a steaming fucking lie as well.
Remember when Trump said "nobody is going to be better on women's health issues than Donald Trump?" His health care plan lists rape, sexual assault, postpartum depression, C-Sections and even pregnancy as pre-existing conditions which BTW, he and the GOP left at the insurer's mercy. And guts care for women across the board. In other words, if you're a rape survivor who's been impregnated by her attacker, sad day for you under TrumpCare.
Or better yet, remember when Trump said:
Yeah, his absolute disaster of a health care plan would leave 22 million uninsured. That's exactly 22 million less people than he said would be covered.
Compared with Trump's healthcare lies, Obama's have been rather tame in comparison.
Oh, and about those "rising Obamacare costs":
