Trump: 'Obamacare is Death'

Source: NBC News

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump declared Obamacare a "meaningless promise" Monday, using his presidential bully pulpit to amplify his calls for action on stalled Republicans attempts to repeal and replace Obamacare.

"For the last 17 years Obamacare has wreaked havoc on the lives of innocent, hard working Americans," Trump said of the healthcare bill that was actually passed seven, not seventeen, years ago.

He attacked Democrats for a lack of bipartisanship on the bill and decried their messaging tactics against the GOP efforts. "They say death, death, death. Well, Obamacare is death," Trump said from the Roosevelt Room as he stood flanked by families he called "victims of Obamacare". "That's the one that's death."

Trump's remarks come amid failed pushes to repeal and replace Obamacare, with the White House urging Republicans to act while espousing several positions on what that action should actually look like. Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn told reporters Monday he expects the chamber on Tuesday to open debate on the bill to repeal and replace.

So, Republicans want to lecture Democrats about civility?

I know you are but what am I?

LMAO

Seriously. That man is deranged.

I'm not saying the ACA is dumb.

I am saying Trump's attack is a lame excuse of an attack of someone incapable of formulating their own ideas or rebuttals - or even insults.

Don't call my plan death! Your plan is death! So there!

It's not me! It's you!

LMAO

What a loser.

And "wreaked havoc?"

Aside from some tales of people being gouged by the for-profit insurance industries (which are still, unfortunately, big players in America's health care industry, sitting between patients and their doctors), the stories of lives saved and improved by both health security and actual healthcare are far-and-away the majority of Obamacare's impact on the country.

All the info I'm getting on my twitter feed seems to indicate they are going to vote to move this forward. I get some insurance partly paid for by work, so I'm lucky. But I have a feeling even that is going to impacted. I haven't been real happy with our side countering that the ACA is failing. The numbers of not insured is the lowest it has been in a long time, that should be hammered in. However, we are never, ever going to convince these deplorables to change their minds.

Peace
