Yeah, Trump decided to run for President so he can get that sweet sweet "free" government healthcare. wtf you are smoking?
btw, healthcare for federal government employee is not free. i'm a federal employee and i'm paying a premium of $200 every 2 weeks (or $400/month) for Blue Cross Blue Shield to cover family of 3.
I hope you are appreciative of the degree to which taxpayers are subsiding that. Out here, a family of two (husband and wife) earning $70,000 COMBINED would pay close to $2,000 per month at age 60, and then still be liable for another $12,000 combined in deductible.
Presidents absolutely get the best care because they are the leader of our country and they don't have to pay anything for treatment. Meanwhile, Trump wants to take away the ACA which is a god send for over 23 million. Could this be a wake up call to him, probably not.
You really should stop talking about the ACA, because you really don't understand it at all. You are not alone, most people don't understand it. But it was anything but a "godsend" to 23 million people. To many people, particularly single young healthy people it was a new tax. To many others, mostly self employed it made our health care cost unaffordable... yes...unaffordable. it was a help to poor people without health insurance, but again it was really at its core catastrophic insurance. There was no reason to mess with the healthcare insurance system in its entirety. They could have provided the poor folks with much better insurance, not full coverage like medicaid and not just catastrophic insurance like they pay for, but something in the middle that actually provided real coverage. And left the rest of our insurance a lone.
There is no Canadian National Healthcare plan. It is run by the provinces and terrorizes and varies depending on where you live.
In BC there is Pharmacare program for prescriptions for certain income and age levels.
There are plans though for a National Pharmacare program and Canadians want it. If they dislike their healthcare so much, why would there be overwhelming support for another program?
The fact is that Canadians are NOT dissatisfied.
The specific complaint:
Quote:
"68 percent do not believe Canada’s health-care system treats patients in a timely manner despite billions of dollars of additional public spending in the past decade."

He's proven two things:
1) The POTUS gets the best medical care in the world
2) His "far better than the ACA" plan exists no where but in his imagination and average Americans are still worse off healthcare wise than those in many other industrialized nations
Typical, trying to create angst and division for simply no reason. Trump is not getting any better or worse treatment than anyone in an elected position , Senators, Congress people, Pelosi , Schumer, etc would be getting.

Where are you getting those numbers from ? The wife and I are in our 50's, make roughly two and a half times that amount, and our monthly premium for completely private insurance is $675, with a $5800 deductible.
This just shows how much of a hypocrite the president is... he knowingly puts his supporters in dangerous situations and now that karma struck back, Trump has a team of 10 government paid doctors assigned to him, given treatments that aren’t even allowed to the public, so when you go out there maskless in a crowded Trump rally, remember you won’t get any of this.
In the minds of Donald Trump's low income and uneducated voters, Donald Trump can do no wrong!

huh? it's call employer-sponsored healthcare.
If your company has more than 50 full time workers, your company requires BY LAW to have employer-sponsored healthcare. If not, your company will face a penalty. The government employer is not exempt from this
My wife just got a corporate job with UPS and they also offer employer-sponsored healthcare with a waywww better deal than i'm getting from the employer sponsored healthcare from the government. I will cancel my current healthcare with the government and add my name to my wife's health insurance plan.

Is that via an employer or when you say completely private, do you mean a single family policy? Also is that via the marketplace with subsidies? Cause I would kill to have that monthly rate even with that high of a deductible.
