This is what hate and stupidity gets us!
I'd bet you NEVER called Hillary, Pelosi, Fienstein or any other rich dem "rich girls" or "rich boys"....

I wonder why?

Are you jealous of how rich he has become through hard work and making good business decisions?

"No it's not, making modest adjustments to make it better is the right thing to do."

Why didn't the dems and Obam EVER propose ANY adjustments?

They WROTE it and passed it with NOT ONE repub vote.

THEY own it all.

NOW they want the repubs to fix what THEY SCREWED UP.

EVERY time any adjustments were talked about by the repubs, Obama said he would reject them.

I do and I support ending the wars and using that money to provide Universal Health Care to all. Everyone.



Hyperbole does not phase me. Millions are still not covered and millions more can not afford to use what they have.
Agree with you on single payer but that ain't happening under Trump and the repubs. If BO thought he could get single payer through he would have done it. Repubs made it clear they would not play ball so we have what we have. But better than what the repubs have - which is nothing.

Do you really think the insurance companies are going to wait around for the repubs for 2-3 years to replace Ocare after they repeal. You're smart enough to figure that out - right?

So people will lose health care and yes die! That's not hyperbole that's a fact.

Don't forget we have seen how "good" the govt runs health car with the VA.

If they can't do tremendously smaller program like that, how in the world does any sane person think we can run one for the ENTIRE country?

It boggle the mind!

Ah, perhaps you're familiar with the protest of "keep your government hands off my Medicare".

If not, you should look it up.

They played no role in getting Obamacare passed. You know this but persist.

Do I expect the (R)'s to do the right thing? As far as replacing Obamacare, no I do not. Ending the huge subsidies for the insurance and pharmaceutical companies that is Obamacare is also the right thing to do.

The only ones benefitting from Obamacare is noted above.

We need a sticky thread for the butt hurt liberals complaining about everything Trump does or doesn't do.
Looks like it will go on throughout Trump's term. It should help him get reelected in four years as people will tune out all the unhinged hangnail stories. Stories like complaining about rich people. Given the choice most people would choose to be rich rather than poor. One lesson liberals should have learned by now is that what the government gives it can also take away. It's very similar to EO that the next president can overturn.
If Trump governs like Obama with EO and doesn't get bipartisan support for much of his legislation then he will earn the same failure legacy as Obama. Obama is a failure in so many ways but mainly on his leadership style which infected his ability to govern and have a lasting positive legacy. Obama has truly been the place holder president.

"Repubs made it clear they would not play ball so we have what we have."

History is NOT your strong suit.

The repubs, at the first meeting with Obama, when they offered some suggestions were told by Obama,
" We won, get over it" and were shut out.

So that is all that matters to you is the name and Republicans get credit for socialism instead of Democrats?
