Trump-Republicans RAN ON repealing Obamacare, whose foundation is barring insurers from rejecting people with pre-existing conditions.
Trump-Republicans are in court RIGHT NOW trying to end ACA pre-existing conditions coverage.

No, Trump didnt save preexisting conditions 👇👇"People with preexisting medical problems have health insurance protections because of President Barack Obamas health care law, which Trump is trying to dismantle."

(82,849 posts)Now, can the media be on alert to say, "That's not true!" when Trump repeats this pleasing lie? You KNOW he's going to say it again. Can you all be ready, just for once?

(26,505 posts)country (for the most part) is useless. You won't hear any reporter with access ask The Moron to justify his statements, provide any details. Or in any way discus policy. And I mean really discuss policy. Instead, this talking sphincter stands up there, sounding like a third grader who constantly tries to bullshit his way through the oral report. Because he never does the homework. Then the very few times they get anywhere near pinning him on something. He'll blurt out some childish unfunny joke and they just laugh along and move on.

I blame religion. It takes religious fervor to believe such antithetical facts of what they are told and what actually happens.

(6,448 posts)We've all seen them in the section behind Trump in their almost white wife-beater t-shirts and their red dunce caps on backwards.
Every 5 minutes, they put up a fist and yell "Whooo!" whenever he says something racist or tells a whopper--the same reaction as the white millionaires and their Stepford wives (think the most recent Mrs. Gingrich and her blonde helmet).

(8,817 posts)I have a younger brother, born again repubic Obama hater that ownes a sussesfull cabinet business, in Georgia. He has diabetes, his wife has had double mastectomy and they have an adopted 12 year old. They were paying $1,600 per month for health insurance, with the threat of being dropped under pre Obama care. He falsifies his income to the IRS and qualifies for ACA supplement and pays $250 per month for premiums with "A" quality coverage. Hate's dems and socialism. Always been racist. The kicker, his son is half white and half black. Much more black features. They took him out of public schools (in Georgia) because of redneck harrassment, to home school. He is a both sides dummy but one side loves Guns, God, and Whites. Go figure.
My daughter is working her way through college for her second degree. We got her insurance through the ACA, lost her mom to cancer at 10 years old, so it is critical she has care. For the first 2 years on ACA as a waitress she underestimated her tip income at $18,000. But made close to $24,000. The first year I paid back $2,000 the second $1,000 to IRS for subsides, For making too much.
The point here, is I hate ignorant repubics, but I have a brother that is one and making out on Dem polices and have to bite my tongue. But, God loves him.

It becomes a predictably frustrating scenario to break down what must be done with this sort in simple enough terms for them to at least cooperate effectively.
Often, it transforms my job into something akin to veterinary medicine.
