The GOP's Eight Year Lie

[Mac1958]

And it sure as hell was a lie.

For years the GOP has been telling us, "just elect us, we have the plan for health care, and we'll fix it if we just have the power to ".

When we asked to SEE the plan, they laughed and said there was one and we didn't need to see it. They tossed a few vague "examples" of it - "We'll let insurance companies sell across state lines", or "we'll do HSA plans", or "tort reform", but it sure did seem like they didn't have an actual plan.

Okay, maybe I was wrong, maybe they were being honest, maybe they had a plan and would unveil it the day after Trump's inauguration day.

Well, they sure didn't, did they? They've been lying all this time.

We're not supposed to take Trump literally, but seriously. How are we supposed to take the GOP now? Are we supposed to believe ANYTHING at this point?

they had a plan. It was called RomneyCare.

Then Obama stole it.

the real problem is that the GOP has so alienated the Democrats they can't work out compromises, and the 30 or so nuts in the Freedom Caucus can pretty much hold the rest of the House Majority hostage.

Yet fools like you think the D and R party's are radically opposed to each other...that they are polar opposites and your devoted love for the Ds, is warranted because the Rs are so EVIL.

I fear you and many like you will never understand that both party's are very much the same. That makes you a DUPE!

Dude, the tin foil on your hate needs adjusting.

here's the real problem with the two party system. They are us. They give us exactly what we want. We want the government to do all this stuff for us, and we want someone else to pay for it.

The GOP was able to get a lot of millage out of resentment against what ObamaCare had to do, but when the rubber met the road and people faced 24 million becoming uninsured and their insurance companies being able to deny coverage again, they chickened out.

This is completely fair. The GOP in congress is revealed to have just been grandstanding over the last 8 years, and not prepared to actually DO anything.

Oh, noes, Cleetus, you mean they done der lied to your dumb redneck ass?

Or they just realized out that Cleetus and Billy-Bob in JesusLand might figure out that the "Affordable Care Act" and "ObamaCare" are the same thing?

Spot on. The democrats want the gov. To do stuff for you and they want others, namely the rich to pay for it. Listen to them! They literally scream "Medicare for all". Do they not know it takes a lifetime of hard work for wage earners to EARN Medicare? What did they do in the ACA? That's right they STOLE 916 billion dollars from the senior wage earners! Democrats are dirt.

Trump promised wonderful health care insurance : better, cheaper, and coverage for everyone. What he promised was single payer, although he didn't say it, but better, cheaper and coverage for everyone is tax funded, single payer. It's the only thing that will deliver on those promises he made.

Your history is a bit hazy.

Romney stole it from Hillary-Care.

Looks like / sounds like / the John Birch Society is chiming in again.

And ... ???

Could Trump deliver ???

Obviously not.

Now it looks like infrastructure and tax reform are both doomed too.

The GOP is bipolar.

And nobody has asked Pelosi or Schumer for their help.

The GOP is dead in the water.

 

[yiostheoy]

The only thing I hope is that Kennedy and Thomas hurry up and retire so Trump and McConnell can replace them with GOOD justices while they both still have a chance.

And dear God, please take RB Ginsberg's soul home to you fast -- we can't wait any longer. Please take her ugly hag azz away.

Says the woman on government assistance. Seriously, how to you parrot the GOP talking points when they're talking about you?

And how do you keep repeating that bullshit line about money "stolen" from Medicare after its been debunked 12 ways to Sunday?

While the health care law reduces the amount of future spending growth in Medicare, the law doesn't actually cut Medicare. Savings come from reducing money that goes to private insurers who provide Medicare Advantage programs, among other things. The money wasn’t "robbed." We rated the statement Mostly False.

Checking the facts on the $700 billion Medicare 'cut'

 

[Mac1958]

To be fair, neither Pelosi nor Schumer have done anything but attack with guns blazing, showing zero interest in contributing, in the least.

That said, I was holding out a little bit of hope that Trump would be different and blatantly reach across the aisle, to the point where they'd have no choice but to join in.

So much for THAT idea. I'm guessing Bannon wouldn't have it.

Bannon was reportedly pulling strings to disassociate Trump with the bill. Not surprising, considering Steve Bannon hates Paul Ryan.
