Breath of fresh air, my backside. FTFY.

A breath of 'fresh' air is the LAST thing that comes from one's backside, isn't it Dum?

What air comes from one's backside? A TRUMP!

NYTimes: G.O.P. Repeal Bill Would Cut Funding for Poor and Taxes on Rich

Robin Hood version Trump. Cut from the poor and give the rich.

Oh! That's why he likes Sheriffs so much. Will he visit Nottingham in his UK visit, do you think?

Lweji Exactly. And let's not forget that he's eating into the Coast Guard budget every weekend as they are required to patrol the waters around Maralago the whole time he is there.

4 GOP Senators just broke ranks on the healthcare repeal bill

cozietoesie · 07/03/2017 16:32

And those Senators don't link to the re-elections in 2018, I think? At least directly?

AcrossthePond55 · 07/03/2017 16:38

I am cozie! It's funny how 'time' is. 2018 seems 'forever away' from today, but really isn't not. The campaigning will begin in earnest soon and I think those GOP senators/Reps up for reelection will have to stand up and absolutely 'declare' themselves. It may very well impact how they vote on the ACA bill, if they perceive that their constituency is unhappy with the provisions.

The removal of the mandate for large employers to provide insurance is really going to hit a lot of Trump's supporters hard. Many of them will lose EGHP (employment group health plan) coverage when their employers are told 'Hey! You don't have to do that anymore!!!'. Walmart for one used to hand new employees the paperwork to file for Medicaid. That was their idea of EGHP coverage. Others will see their premiums skyrocket as employers no longer pay their 'fair share' of the premiums or they're forced into the 'private market'.

Saying that 'We will make insurance available for everyone' means diddly-shit. A Ferrari dealer will also say that about Ferraris. But just because that Ferrari is 'available' to anyone certainly doesn't mean it's 'affordable'.

AcrossthePond55 · 07/03/2017 16:40

is not! Not 'isn't not'.

GingerIvy · 07/03/2017 16:40

Exactly, Across and women will find that maternity and birth control coverage will be nonexistent.... or a veritable fortune to "add on."

I'm confused:

What did Trump expect Obama to do about Crimea and the Ukraine?

What would Trump do about Crimea and Russia?
