Freepers up in arms over TrumpCare

[Kaleva]

Was reading the Freeperville Gazette and the editor-in-chief there had written an OP demanding that Trump support nothing less then the full and immediate repeal of ObamaCare and anything less then that would be disastrous for Trump as he would face the wrath of the people who voted him into office.

Many , many Freepers voiced their agreement with the OP.

1. K&R...

2. I know I'm late to the party, but what exactly

do they hate about the ACA? Is it just because it bears the name of a black man? Do they think illegals are covered?

[mcar]

5. It's socialism. Takes away their "freedom"

to die broke and uninsured. They do think illegals are covered. They think there are death panels. They think it took away the wonderful, perfect, free market insurance they never had before. They think it threatens their Medicare.

They are really stupid.

[PSPS]

8. It's all because Obama is black. "Obamacare" is really the same as Romneycare.

16. both answers above are correct, good synopsis

[OldHippieChick]

21. Okay, I appreciate responses. It is

just such a puzzlement that they are so adamant and hateful. I am still befuddled by their anger and threats to cheetohead. I am assuming they truly hate Obama so much they do not care what the ACA covers. They just want Trump to erase anything w/ the Obama name associated with it. This is not logical, but it is the only answer that makes sense to their stupidity. (That is a poor sentence, but I'm not thinking clearly myself right now)

23. When govt does anything to benefit non-billionaires, it's eeeevviilllll big gumment. nt

[MyNameGoesHere]

24. Pigs at the trough.

They think if they act like the perfect little capitalist the other Pigs will allow them to feast and be one of them. They don't understand the Pigs detest and despise them.



American dream..

3. So, the Freepers *like* exclusions for pre-existing conditions and lifetime coverage caps?

There's no fixing stupid, is there?

[still_one]

4. That is where the media is misrepresenting the "conservative" view. They are calling for a complete

removal of any healthcare for anyone who cannot afford. They are NOT calling for a replacement, with an inferior plan that will leave 24 million uninsured. They are calling for a total repeal that will leave 50 million uninsured

F**k THEM

[Kaleva]

6. That's what they want. Just repeal with no replacement.

[still_one]

7. Exactly Kaieva. It is far worse

[Turbineguy]

9. Trump talks about choice.

Why don't they just give up their healthcare and die happy?

[HughBeaumont]

10. They wanted "Whatever screws people who aren't ME"-Care as a replacement.

Or "Whatever screws people who don't look like ME"-Care. Six of one . . . .

[mercuryblues]

12. you got that right

Which is why you see so many trump voters worried over their insurance coverage. They found out they were included in the group who would lose coverage and are shocked, they ain't no stinkin' moocher.

[katmondoo]

11. They never get sick????????????????????????????????

Where do they go and who pays IF they do get sick or their children get sick ?????????

[Squinch]

13. Want to bet that 50% of them are on the ACA insurance and don't know it?

[Blue_true]

15. Yep. The republicans they love so much call the ACA or Obamacare

something else and those idiots swallow the whole thing.

[Glitterati]

17. 50% of them are on Medicaid, and they do know it.

They just don't want any of those "blacks and Mexicans" on it.

It's racism, plain and simple.

14. True story

My Ex (from a long time ago) self employed in construction, no insurance, has heart attack. At the hospital, the doctors tell him what he really needs is bypass surgery but since he has no insurance they will only do a stint (Public hospital BTW). So he is stabilized but problem not fixed.

Our daughter... smart... in law school, offers to help him find insurance through the ACA. She figures his subsidy and it will make the insurance affordable for him.

He... get this... refuses because it is Obamacare. He. Hates. Obama.

So he will likely die within a few years because He. Hates. Obama.

Yep kids... these types are out there.

22. How terrible for your daughter. Did she tell him it was through the Affordable Care Act?

My late ex-husband drank and smoked himself into an early grave even though both his parents had died of lung cancer at 59 (mom) and 61 (dad). My daughters were continually upset by his refusal to take care of himself. My older daughter had just celebrated her 21st birthday and moved in with her longtime boyfriend when Bob, then in his late forties, developed what the docs considered end stage cirrhosis of the liver. (they couldn't have a liver transplant because of his alcoholism.) Somehow, she persuaded them to treat him conservatively, but at least to treat him. He actually pulled through and somehow lived another 15 years, If he hadn't survived, both of my girls would have felt at least somewhat responsible.

Your daughter must be beside herself. I am so very sorry he's such an a-hole.

18. Hey you guys voted for this!

Is it time to start saying "we told you so!" yet?

[safeinOhio]

19. A lot like my cat.

Thinks her shit don't stink and doesn't need anyone.

Then screams when her dish is empty.

[LAGC]

20. RINO-CARE, Ryancare, Obamacare Lite!

SICK 'EM BOYS! SICK 'EM!

Show that Establishment tool who is boss!

Don't let the Republicans get ANYTHING done this session.

ALL or NOTHING.

(In which case, NOTHING. )

[Kaleva]

25. A qoute from a Freeper leader

I think it's against the rules to provide a direct link but here's an excerpt of the OP:

"Dear Mr. President:

....Do not settle for anything less than full and complete repeal. If you can't get that from congress, then veto whatever they send up (rinse and repeat as necessary) and if they fail eventually to send up a clean repeal bill then sign nothing and let Obamacare implode on its own...."

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

26. Pretty said

when they feel a program that would cause 24 million to lose their insurance isn't mean enough.

[C_U_L8R]

27. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot!

Derp!!! Are they all so independently wealthy
they can pay for their own insurance out of their
own pockets... the unregulated and unsubsidized
insurance Republicans are granting them 'access' to?

Well, access this, Freeps!!
