Great health care, cheap and easy? Pick NONE.

Promises, promises.
What a sad joke.

It was under Clinton. Work requirements to get benefits was enforced. It was called the " welfare to work" program.

How do I know? At the time I was down with severe health issues, went through my entire savings and retirement and ended up homeless and living under a RR bridge. It took 5 tries before I got welfare. The work requirement was waived for me as I had an application in for SSDI.
Being homeless and then "cheaply home", I developed friendships with other welfare recipients, all of whom had to go to work to get their benefits.

They must turn in documents to show from their assigned "employer" that they actually went to and performed their work. It was like a pay stub. It was similar to the forms that courts required for work details.

This is in NY State, other states may have let the work requirement slide, I don't know.

But it certainly worked here.

Train welfare women to be CERTIFIED babysitters for lower income women and families.
Make the men assist the elderly with outdoor chores. Train both to tend to elderly. Any misstep in the care of elderly immediately benefits cease.
Homeless also put to work and off the Street.
End the "social blight" we are experiencing.

YES it CAN be done, it WAS BEFORE.

It is Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell who have betrayed Trump.

Though I wonder if Trump planned this all along. Perhaps he knew that the congressional GOP would fail to deliver on this. Maybe he wants a Democratic congress. So now they can pass some reasonable reforms and he can take credit.

Trump is underestimated.

Was starting to doubt Rand Paul but he came through today. Him and Trump discussed a "skinny repeal" which would lift the individual and employer mandate taxes along with the medical device tax. This would be huge in avoiding massive spending increases and insurance bailout funds (from our pocket to insurance companies).

For the first time in weeks I have a bit of hope they can lift the burden of Obamacare and the republicans can deliver on their promise. Mitch McConnell is also working hard and deserves a lot of credit for the vote today

Healthcare insurance is a pyramid scheme and considered gambling.
Eliminate healthcare insurance all together and you pay your local hospital a retainer monthly, and they are in a healthcare network... So if you are in another city, town, state, you are covered there by reimbursements.

See, this is what happens. People try to have a serious discussion and then this sort of thing pops up.
