An emotional Donald Trump supporter on Tuesday told CNNs Don Lemon he wouldnt be able to afford health insurance if it werent for Obamacare, the signature legislation the president has promised to repeal.
***
Youre a life long republican, yet you and your wife are insured through Obamacare, Lemon said to guest Don Riscoe. What will happen to that insurance if Obamacare is repealed?
We probably wont be insured, a visibly upset Riscoe replied.
***
Riscoe said Obamacare does have problems that need to get fixed. I hope that theres something that will be in place that we can still have coverage for myself and a lot of others, Riscoe said.

Did he not listen.. at all.. to what was being promised on the campaign trail?? This one can't even be chalked up to a politician breaking his campaign promises.. Rump RAN on the platform to do exactly this!!! The entire GOP has made this center stage of their platform!!!
I don't feel sorry for him, I want to reach through the screen and smack the hell out of him.

People like this guy got the country into this mess, with help from Putin. Now they cry, yet still refuse to admit they were wrong.

(4,066 posts)You know, just about everyone makes fun of the people who make the Darwin awards. Generally, those people made truly, obviously stupid decisions that led to their injury or demise. We all laugh at them and say good thing they won't be around to breed more idiots.
The same thing applies here. These people have made obviously, truly stupid decisions by continuing to vote for and support 45 and his Republican congress. So let them receive the consequences post haste.

(22,651 posts)when you have the jonezies and need your Doctors legal prescription NOT COVERED anymore by your ACA insurance.
go ahead and buy your Imodium, take handfuls to stop your diarrhea and belly cramps so you can CEO Republican death panels for the day.
That Imodium Corp has conveniently **just for you addicted!*** recently sells over the counter in 1,000 tablet bottles!
I had to ask my pharmacist WTF where are the 8 tab cards of immodium for my first aid kit? He told me all the addicted people need handfuls every day so the Corp provides large OTC bottles!

You cry about not being able to afford or not being able to have insurance. Well, you had a choice last November didnt you. You chose to vote party before country. You choice to vote for someone that on national tv, NATIONAL TV.. mocked a disabled journalist.... OF ALL THE THINGS THAT DISGUSTS ME ABOUT THE FUCKING RIGHT WING AND THEIR SUPPORTERS.... WAS THIS UNFORGIVABLE ACT OF SHIT.
Sorry Don Riscoe, you will now suffer if this passes.... along with all the voters who DIDNT vote for this guy and will suffer too..

(16,189 posts)They will still get some treatment, in ER's -- when it's too late.
Thus, leaving behind unpaid bills for the rest of us.
The six month wait if you don't have insurance and you try to get insurance is just long enough to make sure that the care you get for a serious illness will be more intense and more expensive, and quite possibly, too late.
So instead of stopping a cancer at Stage 2 or 3, there may be last ditch efforts to save a person at Stage 5.
Cruel, tragic, and incidentally, financially stupid, too.
