So I just viewed a tape from Donny's rich boy and gal New Year's Eve party at his Palm Beach Resort. During the event he once again announced his intention to repeal Obamacare to the cheers and pumped fist of another billionaire sharing the stage with him.

The hypocrisy of this is both alarming and disturbing to see millionaire/billionaire "swells", all with the best health care on the planet, literally cheering taking away healthcare from poor and ordinary americans who can ill afford to lose it.

This is what hate and stupidity gets us!

Repealing Obamacare is the right thing to do. It's what you do after that, that will determine things.

The Affordable Care Act is misnamed. It had the opposite effect. Now it has made health care more expensive, made health insurance more expensive and made it less affordable to use. It is a very broken very flawed system. It seems that everyone but the democrats who voted for it, saw what it would do.

No it's not, making modest adjustments to make it better is the right thing to do. The Repubs have nothing to replace it with except empty slogans and rhetoric. This is beyond shameful but i assume you have health care - right?

This stupidity is going to cause some people to die - does that make you happy?

Repeal it and pull govt out of health care completely. Will Trump and the GOP go that far?doubt it. They'll fashion something equally horrible to the Dem scheme that benefits its cronies.

There is NO way to fix it. It can't be done. It only passed because of lie after lie after lie. Hopefully those like yourself will learn there are repercussions for actions like that and no longer support it.

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.

Somethings are better left broken. They cost more to fix than they are worth.

I'm not sure I want to stand with millionaires on deciding on our healthcare, but something does need to change. You do have to admit many of us working-class people lost healthcare, we have none now that ObamaCare went through. How do you justify I have to pay $6,000-$8,000 deductible, while low income people, immigrants, refugees and like, are not having to pay any of this?


One thing I have noticed, ObamaCare plans start as low as $40.00 a month, while those States who opted out of ObamaCare the insurance plans start at $400.00 & up. With very little coverage, the plan I had before covered much more and my deductible was $500.00.


Why are illegals being encouraged to sign up on ObamaCare?
