Laura Ingraham: GOP Healthcare Law is a “Trap” for Trump
Posted On 14 Mar 2017
Conservative radio host Laura Ingraham said Tuesday that President Donald Trump should be cautious about supporting the current version of the Republican healthcare bill. In an interview with Fox & Friends, Ingraham said that by rolling back the Medicaid expansion, congressional Republicans would send state budgets deep into the red, potentially setting Trump up for an election disaster in four years.
Ingraham said she wasn’t persuaded by all the talk of a “phase three” that Republicans were using to defend the bill.
“This idea that phase three is going to come and it’s going to be some nirvana, if they believe they can get 60 votes for this phase three that we heard about last week, then why not do it now?” Ingraham wondered. “Why not, at the same time that you repeal, replace it with the best legislation Republicans have right now?”
Ingraham said that state budgets would “implode” when the Medicaid expansion went away.
“I think Donald Trump is going to get caught on this in 2020,” she said. “I think there’s a trap set for him on this. I’d like to spend an hour talking to him about it. I think this is a trap set for Trump and it’s going to be bad.”
Sigh.
While Democrats and the media are doing everything they can to make this healthcare law look like the worst piece of legislation in the history of Washington, there can be no denying that there are significant problems with the American Health Care Act as it stands right now. Republicans can try to put a shine on that CBO report and they can try to push the tough debates down the road, but they’re in a tough spot. By trying to satisfy everyone, they’ve satisfied no one. It may not be as bad as the Democrats say, but it’s not good.
What we’re really looking at here is a real-world demonstration of why it’s so important to stop these entitlement programs before they begin. Obamacare’s been law for what, six years? And already it has gotten its hooks deep into the public consciousness. Americans are fairly split when it comes to opposing or supporting expansions to the federal government, but the country is always very, very hesitant to eliminate existing programs. Republicans tried to craft a careful, moderate bill to avoid that pitfall, but they did not succeed.
If this thing makes it to Trump’s desk without drastic changes, we’ll be shocked.
I suspected that. Many members in Congress are trying to sink President Trump.
When they do that, they are also sinking their own. The only why GOP could restore strength against the Evil Democrats is to UNIFY. Are they tempted by the “Devil to destroy their own?
I have said it again and again….no matter what they do they will fail. THE BASE IS TOO SMALL,!! Government employees comprise more than 45% of the population. They are excluded. Add to that, to name a few, teachers and the teachers union (even the school bus drivers), railroad employees, and on and on.
There isn’t enough money to support anything Washington dreams up.
The only answer is that everyone is under a government health care bill and that includes members of the House and Senate and the people that work for them. In Peru they have that kind of health care. The result? When my daughter visited there, the doctor she stayed with was paid $10,000 a year to be a doctor. He had two other jobs that he did in order to support his family.
I have not idea where you got the 45% number. I did the research. Among ALL workers, the actual number is 17%. Yes, DC has 38% but Ohio has 12%. The average is 17% across the country. In addition, to even suggest that MD’s make only $10,000 a year, is absurd. I do agree, most MD’s here are over paid. However, I do agree, if congress passes it, they should have to use it.
You need to add the percentages. You also forgot the Members of the House and Senate, teachers, school bus drivers, railroad workers, etc. read what I said again and you will find that the Doctor I spoke of is in Peru. They have until universal health care. I got my information from him.
you have to drain the swamp from both sides of the isle. Term limits first and foremost
Convention of States! Arizona just passed Convention of States. We need term limits and a balanced budget. While at it it do away with the 16th amendment.
Also the 17th, return States’ Rights to the Senate……..get rid of the elite congressmen.
I’m sorry. What about the people’s rights? The “Right to Vote” on all laws presented concerning the national public?
The House of Representatives’ Congressmen are the advocates for the people, the population of individuals. The Senate used to be elected by the legislatures of each State; now they are nothing more than glorified congressmen since they are elected by the general population. States Rights have effectively disappeared since the Senators are not necessarily obliged to their respective State’s legislatures but only to its citizens by popular vote.
They only represent the lobbyist with the most money
No. They represent the interests/people of their state/region and are intended to act as a counterbalance to the Washington Imperium.
What Washington Imperium might that be ..l the Congress elected by We the People?
The perpetual government both elected and appointed that controls our country. The Senators being appointed by the state governments were a brilliant counterweight designed by the founders to keep 50.1% of the people from dictating to the other 49.9%. The idea is that in a large country different communities have different cultures, values and lifestyles and should be able to preserve that against all but overwhelming (not mere majoritarian) needs or wants.
In your fantasy world, who elect the state government?
The people of the state, which may have interests and culture quite different from those in Washington and the megalopoli to whom you would surrender total authority.
The people of the state elect both the H0use and Senate.
Yes, under the present system. However, IMHO, the original system, which had the state legislatures selecting Senators, insuring that the interests of the states were represented. You’ll also recall that the only the states were given the power of direct taxation of the people which meant that the states had to vote for any federal action (in the senate) and then return to the states to fund it. Unless you like the federal Imperium where all law and power comes from DC, that system is better for both individual and state freedom.
I see, you want to put even more control into the hands of the politicl elite and take it away from We the People.
No not at all! Who are the “Political Elite”, none other than the crony backers of either back scrubbing syncophants as opposed to the backstabbing rino deserters from their professed allegiances each/all of whom have created the tangled web of deals called negotiations which has been shown that some entities are then better served than the American people. These collections of elected legislators and the presently existing system of lobbyist influences has distorted good governance toward those with greater influence, money to re-elect, better appropriations to their district, and etc. The political elite are then that collection of individuals who have successfully negotiated for their place, perhaps at the expense of their constituents. The recognizable problem is that some are too well intrenched within the past,existing system as it seems to be. I would like to believe that any powerful outsider, from that system, could sufficiently disrupt it so as to return governance to us,we the people thru our representatives in the House of Representatives.
The Senate has similar problems and is subject to the same grievances by any popular opinions except that that body of governance was not originally designed to represent the collective population in numbers then existing, the population….to be represented.
The Senate was originally established to permit each States Rights within the to then to be formed new entity now known as the United States of America. As from the founding’ original intent it had been quite clear that there were several differences as to how each constituent of the general then existing population might consider themselves…..each person counted as “one” but there where Colonies” that had a lower population numerically, but still represented a distinctly identifiable area and had then been recognized as a State. These specific areas became States, each with its separate designations, a pair of Senators, who were t to go have elected by/from
You don’t have to repeal the 16th amendment just limit it to 5% with no deductions !
You think that would support our Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, Marines, Public Health …
No need for the military???
No need for roads???
No need for safe Rx drugs???
16th Amendment? The IRS is the 16th amendment, put in place to balance the money in circulation because of the 1913 give away of the system of money known as the Federal ?Reserve ? Bank ? better described as a Ponzi scheme. The trillions of dollars of debt can not be paid for by “income tax ” because it would take all the money out of circulation. and would still not be sufficient to pay the banker.
why dont we keep the best and brightest in government?
Because we never get the best and brightest in government.
You left out HONEST .
Because the government experience itself is corrupting.
You are right , but how can we get congress to pass such a law . Do you think they will cut their own throat and gravy train ????
One could hope there was one honest man left… still waiting…
That is a inherent problem electing from mostly an amoral profession of mainly ethically questionable reprobates.
when you find him let me know, USAF Ret
Thank you for your service Carroll.
AMEN!!
I agree w/Laura Ingrahm, if a replacement act is created it should roll out in one new law, not in 3 phases. Also, it’s not Trump’s fault that a new health care program is not ready. The GOP has had 8 years to work on one while O’bunko was in power destroying our nation and his Obamacare was eroding!
During those 8 years they were busy trying to steal from the American people. Term limits must be put in place.
The Rino’s in our Congress and Senate were the one’s destroying us with Obama’s help. They are Obama schills now.
I wish President Trump and Vice-President Pence would back the Republicans pushing to repeal the law immediately without simultaneously approving an alternative: http://www.politico.com/story/2017/02/obamcare-conservatives-repeal-replace-234983
And while President Trump has tried to do us a favor (?) by not rejecting tax-returns that do not address the health insurance mandate: http://reason.com/blog/2017/02/14/irs-blow-to-obamacare-individual-mandate
I am not pulling out of my horrible High-Deductible Plan just yet:
While there won’t be a legal mandate, Health Insurers will be able to tack 30% more onto the cost of Health Insurance for people who do not maintain continuous coverage (I was going to pull-out and pay the $2,600 maximum penalty, until I started reading some of the fine print…)
There’s a reason why the Health Insurance Industry and the Hospital Corporations were the first 2 groups to come out against repealing the ACA; and it’s the same reason that Republicans don’t have an alternate plan in place and ready to go (after 8 years?!), because they thought they’d be able to keep whipping-up artificial avarice and blaming the Democrats for something that’s working very well for the Big-Money Makers, all around. https://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/06/business/health-insurers-obamacare-republicans.html?_r=4
Rand Paul has the correct idea. Paul Ryan and many in Congress are Soros shills.They are not for doing the right thing.
THE WORST thing that ever happened for Republicans was for them to have voted Paul Ryan & Mitch McConnell into…LADERSHIP POSITIONS! ~ Makes one believe that we have a MAJORITY of RINO’s running the GOP!!!
Rino’s are running the GOP and it has to stop now…We deal with the enemy everday trying to get anything good passed in this do nothing Rino, Tea Party hating, Congress…They care only about their power.
Actually it is the Media and Federal Judges calling anything Un Constitutional that Trump tries to change .
Has been on-going for the past fifty-odd years. This, so called, two party system has actually been one, democrat and democrat lite.
That belief you are having is a correct one, EMIRCITNA.
I agree , Ryan makes me sick with his stupid smug grin since Trumps been elected , and McConnell is a sorry ol man who can’t even talk right . Both of them , and mclame , and graham are all pathetic rinos I can’t wait till their gone . I Pray term limits are imposed Fast ! With sell outs like these guys and the sicko democrats it’s going to be impossible to get Our Country back . God help us Please ! I knew how Useless these idiots were when the let obummer get away with his deceit and Treason .
Don’t forget the Demon Rats Schumer and Peelosi .
Exactly.
It seems our president does not know how Ryan feels about him. He needs it right in his face how much Ryan hates everything about Trump and the good of America…Trump needs to demand him out now…A real dangerous snake and so very pleased with his sorry self. Smug and disgusting creature.
MARYANN33, the reason Ryan feels that way is because Ryan is so resentful that Trump got the nomination for the presidency that he(Ryan) wanted.
You forget that Ryan is the mole they have in there to get Trump out of office and put Ryan in his place. Ryan must be removed. He is the enemy like Obama.
Soros betrayed his own people, just like he is betraying the US with his Demo Rat Puppets.
The shadow government lobbyist bribing of the puppet anti-Trump and Never-Trump RINOs to delay & stop Trumps promises is a direct attack on “We the People” who want let Obamacare continue until it fully crashes and Democrats must do something to salvage Obama’s legacy.
In the meantime, President Trump must use the bully pulpit to force the republicans to create a solid plan that gives full responsibility to the state with the requirement that buyers can buy anywhere USA and that every offered policy must include [all number are suggestions] 20% under some $30K level and that no person [family] shall be billed more than 5% of their gross income. Hence every policy that the very rich have shall be have in its pool at least 20% of low income with the identical plan coverage and the poorest can have it by a 5% deduction of the welfare payment (sort of a FICA and Ins. deductions).
Limit medical liability payment/settlement to something like a total maximum from all parties of $1,000,000 for procedures and $500,000 for deaths.
Something like that would be free market and at no cost out of Federal budget and policy premiums would only increase about 10% to middle and upper income to give the coverage to the lower and no income group.
This is a deadly serious war against President Trump as his administration tries to rip our country out of the Neocon’s evil grips and as WikiLeaks is simultaneously and independently exposing the Deep State Neocons.
Neocons pay 10,000 Euros to each invader into Europe (over 70% young males) with promises of young blondes starving to have their children for Allah … Those same Neocon agents are fighting the border walls and any ban to ghetto resettlement into USA. Please search & read “64 Ways Obama is Sabotaging Trump” and “Color Revolution”.
Come on Republicans in the house. Put your minds together, add some medical and legal advice, then come up with a bill. Send it to the senate, let them put their minds together along with medical and legal advice,let them cut,slice and dice the bill to their liking and send it back to you. Then take a look at the bill,if you don’t like , cut , dice and slice it and send it back to them. You get the picture! that’s the way the system works. after a couple of rounds you should come a decent looking bill, something that will give the American’s some medical protection they have been asking for. You all have had EIGHT years to have this bill ready for the Presidents signature. So what is your problem?
I just reread the Constitution and found no reference to anything about “Healthcare”, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, but nothing on doctors, insurance, or medicines.
Let’s see, “Obama-don’t-care” I am sick and tired of hearing Obamacare, from the very start, they knew it was a scam by the Democrats, and since King Obama said this is what I want, everyone in the dunky party went along with it, IMAGINE .. A DUNKY .. they are as stupid as a MULE. NOW, the Republican want to make something better, but to the DUNKIES, it is not good. SOLUTION ==== ATTENTION SOLUTION == LET’S GET THE CHINESE INVOLVED AND LET THEM RUN THE HEALTHCARE, MIGHT AS WELL, SINCE THEY SENT ALL JOBS TO CHINA, AND THE U.S. MAKE CHINA A SUPERPORWER BY DRAINING ALL OUR COMPANIES TO MAKE ALL AND I MEAN EVERYTHING IN CHINA, SO, DUNKIES, GET CHINA TO FIX THE HEALTHCARE. AND FOR ALL OF YOU, “”I DID LIVED IN CHINA FOR 7 YEARS, I DARE YOU TO SEE THEIR HOSPITAL, THEIR DOCTORS, THEIR BEDS, DIRTY, DIRTY, FILTH, I EVEN HAD AN MRI DONE THERE, IT IS LIKE GONE TO THE CASH REGISTER IN WALMART, ONE AFTER THE OTHER, NO PRIVACY, NOTHING. BUT AT LEAST THEY CHANGE THE NEEDLE TO DRAW BLOOD, AND DON’T WAIT FOR A BANDAID, MAYBE THAT’S WHAT THE DEMOCRATS DESERVE. once they understand, which by all means, and starting with the mule of ny schumer, will never happen, the democrats let the president do his best for our country, and give us a better system, which he is entitled to, might just work, but they way it is now, NOTHING WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED.
You GO Rafael!!! Thank you!! JHMC
The presidents worse enemy is his own mouth! As long as he continues these conspiracy theories (reading them from the enquire and Fox News) the attacks from both sides will continue.
Let’s look back at some of his lies- Pres. Obama is the founder of ISIS, 3 Million citizens from Mexico came to the USA to vote for Sec. Clinton, during the last 8 years and his quest to prove Pres. Obama was not born here he made claims that you should see some of the stuff coming out of Hawaii (4 years since that comment, and I’m still waiting), Trump makes claims that his “phones were being wire tapped” at the TT by Pres. Obama, Trump made more outrageous comments about muslims, Mocked a disabled reporter on National TV, committed treason on national TV by asking a hostile country to conduct cyber attacks on a US citizen, used fake and illegally received (from whom nobody appears to know as Trump cannot tell the truth), is alleged to have groped and sexually assaulted 13 women and proven by his own words, then he lies that he never said this (what a clown).
The list go’s on and on, his constant twitter attacks when he is angered by reporting he does not like or reporting he cannot control (as Trump has a problem and has an Ayatollah type mentality complex) and ;later calls them fake news and his Trump supporters believe every word of his trash talk. Trump must step up to the plate, start acting like a man and be responsible for his words, his deeds and his actions and stop blaming everybody else for his mistakes! It is not Rand Paul, McConnell, Schumer or anybody else and instead of draining the swamp, he fills it with the same trash from Wall Street and Goldman and Sachs, he then tries to slip a 280 billion tx credit for the rich in the new healthcare plan he proposes he is also proposing tax reductions for the rich from 38% down to 15%, the middle class and lower incomes barely will receive maybe 1-2%. “FOR THE RECORD, IT’S NOT THE RICH WHOM ARE HURTING, IT’S THE MIDDLE AND LOWER INCOME CITIZENS THAT ARE HURTING, WHERE DO YOU HELP THEM BY CUTTING TAXES ON THE RICH WHICH WILL CAUSE DEEP CUTS ON ALL FRONTS?” Wake up America, this guy is a joke and a liar too!
ANd you are a moron who obviously voted for the two frauds Obama and Hillary. Any one with a brain knows that Obama was elected as a novelty. Any black or white with his background and credentials would never have been considered. BLack and white won out because it was so wonderful to feel good and virtuous in order to give the street organizer a chance . He left the presidency with an ungodly debt, and divided this country like no other. OBama and Michelle quickly showed their true colors by indicating they were not proud of this country. A dummied down nation willing to be duped by a far left leaning fraud and supported by white guilt put us in the condition we are in today. The truth is that the voters chose a Democrat over a Socialist Marxist. Period!!!!!
Only moron here is you and all of the Trumpsky supporters! Go back to school and get passed the 3rd grade, it will help you find a job and get off welfare, food stamps & Medicaid. I never in my life have witnessed more gullible supporters than you guys that believe everything that moron Trumpsky says and tweets……good luck garbage face, maybe Flynn will have something interesting to say to the public when he is questioned.
You have some audacity in calling someone gullible. Andre the mental Giant you are not. Syphophants and parasites like you and your fellow libs have damn near ruined this country. Now, let us take a look at your constituency. How about a list. Illegal aliens, abortionists, generational welfare takers, atheists, self hating Jews in American, gays, transgenders, Hollywood, blacks, HIspanics, Muslims, drug addicts, keep them on the plantation proponents etc. All of these groups vote 66 plus percent for the decadent Demo-Socialist Party. Let me throw in prisoners . a poll taken indicated 80 percent would have voted Democrat. You know how you can trust polls!!! Sorry about the last election. I might even throw in lawyers who prosper when society is in shambles. (Divorce and broken families, fatherless homes, crime in general). NOw there’s a ray of hope since the evangelicals, larger percentage of blacks, Hispanics, women, leaned a bit more conservative. I could go on but deranged libs can’t take a lot of truth. Now, my advice to you is to move to the left coast or to NY where you can find a safe place. OBama said that the sweetest sound he had ever heard was the Muslim call to worship. The sweetest sound is hearing a lib whine and cry about the last election. Ps. Sheriff Clarke from Milwaukee needs to grab you and give you a little education on reality. BY the way, I retired at 56 in 1998, have MA plus, married 54 years, been to forty countries and can afford to go anywhere anytime. ANd, by the way taught school for 34 years. When you make the right decisions, you don’t have to worry about the outcome . You are probably more likable then you sound. It is hard to have a good attitude when you have been duped and conned for eight years. Have a good day and remember ” you are who you vote for”. Jhmc
Johnny, your about as fucked up and mis-informed as the moron you voted for. Why don’t you go back to school, get passed the 3rd grade, get off welfare, food stamps and Medicaid and try at least to become a good tax paying citizen. Do us all a favor, take a bath too and get surgery on your nasty, ugly looking face! thank you. Nothing you say, will change my mind in regards to your moronic candidate Donald Skunk, you and him are two peas on a pod!!!!!! Keep following that commie lover, as that’s probably what you are a “freaking commie lover”……….
As Zero nobely said,”we won ,you lost”. What part of that don’t you understand???? What you purport to be the truth and reality is exactly the opposite. You have learned well from the Master Deceiver. Please turn off Maddow and listen to Thomas Sowell, Walt Williams and Mia Love. CHeck out Scott from SC and Allen from Florida. EVen MLK’s granddaughter can see through the crap. A tutorial from Sheriff Clarke might educate you to truth. Sorry, I lost three paragraphs or you would be even more upset. Now, pet your cat and go to safe room. Ps. The country thanks Hillary for running and losing . The nation wins. You might even get tired of winnnning!!!! Why do libs seem to be a little light in the loafers? DId you graduate from Bard? Look it up. Obviously, the thrill running up your leg is still there. I too have a little thrill but is sciatica!!! By the way, this comes from the metropolitan area of eastern WV. EVen we woke up after 80 yrs of disasterous Democrat rule. Excuse me while I go to choir practice. Actually. I am a pretty nice guy and not that ugly. NRA meeting is tomorrow night. JHMC
Sorry Mr. Johnny Moronsky but let me clue you in on some facts, President Steve Bunyon and Vice President KellyAnne Con-Artist are in charge, your boy Donalov Trumpsky aint in charge of one thing “LATRINES”! You say your a smart guy, well let’s see.
Also, these are some facts for you, in the event your brains do not function well:
(1) Trump has insulted approx. 1/2 of the USA to include The Pope and mocked a disabled reporter on national TV.
(2) Trump has willfully and without any regrets, praised and glorified a communist dictator on national TV on more than one occasion.
(3) Trump was exposed for speaking about sexually groping and assaulting women on video tape and he “denies” same.
(4) Trump is exposed by 13 women for sexual Assault and groping them.
(5) Trump has on record 6 bankruptcies, and screwed thousands of employees and contractors in New York and surrounding states.
(6) Trump filed for and received 6 medical deferments keeping him out of military service so he can stay home and eat milk and cookies while everybody else is getting their asses shot overseas by a country supplied with military equipment by Trump’s buddies in Russia.
(7) Trump has 2 housing discrimination complaints, 2 pending sexual harassment complaints in court and dozens more cases for defamation of character.
(8) Trump surrounds himself with commie lovin Vladimir Putan supporters to include one from Breitbart News that has been known to back up racially motivated issues.
(9) Trump sued for his Trump University (school that had no license to operate) committing fraud against over 7,000 students.
(10) Trump being investigated for misappropriation of funds from his “Trump Foundation” for 250k for his legal fees and 33k used to have 6 foot tall painted portraits of himself and were all hung in the lobbies of his golf courses! What a schmuck…..
(11) Trump has insulted governors, senators, congressmen/women, former presidents, lies that he was against the Iraq War but was taped saying he was for it. Trump has been called a pathological liar by almost every person in his party.
(12) Trump insults his way to the White House with zero experience, zero knowledge, needs somebody to write his speeches, and needs a teleprompter to deliver a speech because he can’t quite put 3 sentences together to form a paragraph.
(13) Trump insults our allies England, Germany, Mexico and NATO.
(14) Trump leads a racist conspiracy for 8 years against Pres. Obama because according to Trump, Obama was not a US citizen. The truth was that Obama’s mother was US born and raised and Trump’s mother was born in another country and raised outside the USA (Mr. Trump forgot to tell everybody this).
(15) Trump makes false claims to the American people about buying USA products when in fact his ties are made in Bangladesh, his suits are made in China and the steel he used to make many of building for his customers came from China not the USA!
Johnny Moronsky, I’m sure that you are also aware all of this because as you said “you are a smart guy”, when the truth is “your a commie lovin trumpsky supporter” who believes that rich people like Trump and wealthy staff should receive tax breaks and continue screwing the lower/middle class citizens, that Trump can promote nepotism in the White House via his daughter and son-in-law (whom neither have anything valuable to offer this president or this country!!!!!! grow up Johnny Moronsky, go back to school, get passed the 3rd grade and get off welfare, food stamps and Medicaid, do something to build your character by finding a job and contributing to this country vs. supporting a moron of a president who has “never” done anything for working people in his life.
Lastly, now he is trying to shove down the troats of the American people a Judge Neil Gorsuck who is clearly “anti-employee” and the moron Trump supporters sit back and say “oh he’s doing a great job”, you guys are fucking pathetic and nothing more than “liberal retardlican party”….
To “lib the loser”‘ I don’t have time to address most of your BS. “Liberal retardlican ” threw me off a bit. I hope you are young enough to survive the next 8 years. Keep a stiff upper lip. Eight years of lying and conniving from the ZERO made me stronger. I am not a doctor, but an intervention may be needed in the near future. Let me guess, your daddy was a union member who got ripped off by the “capitalist”. You do have a way with words. HOwever, that is part and parcel of a yapping, whining liberal who just got their ass handed to them. CUmmings, Waters, Conyers, Sharpton all are great orators with the distinct ability to run their mouths. Actually, you sound to be somewhat intelligent. But, you must remember that opinions are like ass holes, everybody has one. I am still a bit baffled by the fact that you supported someone who left the White House “broke” and was worth 2 to 3 hundred million dollars in a few years. ANd doing it without putting one person to work or risking one dime of her own. Oops! She did put Bubba to work picking up five-hundred thousand dollar speechs around the world. Was that when she was pressing the reset button with Russia. O-Kay, that may have been the time OBama was telling your boy Putin that he would “work something out when he was elected in 2012″. DOn’t you love it when all is above board????? GOt to go mow grass and pump a little iron. Headed for Portugal and Spain this month and will let them know how well the Dems are taking Trump’s victory. I got my Russia and China trip over earlier. Meanwhile, don’t let the Trump Derangement Syndrome get you down. Chin-up Andy, I know how you must feel!!!! Libs are all about ‘feeeelings”. JHMC
Sorry Johnny Moronsky, but I am a Lincoln Republican! Like I said you are a freakin Moron of the 1st sort! You and Trumpsky are good for cleaning out latrines. Why don’t you put in for a job as “Sewage Treatment Specialist”? This is something you are apparently well qualified for…
Secondly, the republican party as a whole is in shock to have a moron like Trump and his tweeting conspiracies and theories. The man has never helped out anybody but himself, his past 30-40 years shows he hasn’t even helped an elderly woman cross the street, therefore where do you get off that he will do anything for lower/middle income citizens? Trump is all about lowering taxes for the rich, and nothing else. Please Johnny do us all a favor, get off welfare, food stamps and Medicaid, go back to school and get passed the 3rd grade, then try and find a job for yourself cleaning out latrines! Good luck with Comrade Donalov “Vladimir” Trumpsky…………
p.s.- Sorry Johnny but I forgot to mention, President Steve Bunyon and Vice President KellyAnne Con-Artist will fix everything! Your candidate Trump would do better cleaning latrines along with his useless family (whom couldn’t even be hired at a Subway or Burger King)…….
Sorry Mr. Johnny Moronsky but you are wrong as usual about everything. First, definition of liberal- retardlican party whom says they want limited government and don’t want anybody telling them what to do, secondly on gun control they said everybody is infringing on their rights to own guns! No Mr. Retard, Americans want to enforce gun laws by making sure we keep guns out of the hands of retards, psycho’s like you and other anti-Americans organizations such as Neo-Nazi’s, KKK, White Aryan Nation, Bone Heads and Skin Heads. This is why your retardlican party is branded as the liberal party! You are just in denial or are a moron like your candidate Donald Skunk!!! As for Russia, sorry flemwad but if you were listening to your scumbag candidate he praised and glorified Vladimir Putan on national TV. What part of this were you not listening to? Also, Donalov Trumpsky on national TV asked the Russian government to conduct cyber attacks on a fellow American citizen by asking for her emails, in 2 days her emails were in his hands. Apparently you are 2 fucking stupid to see the collusion between Donald Skunk and Julian Assange and the Russian government! Go back to school ahole, and get a 3rd grade diploma, and get off welfare, food stamps and Medicaid, do us all a favor by finding a job “cleaning latrines for a living”!!!!!!! You are one stupid asshole with nothing intelligent to say except for your moronic unsubstantiated views of politics and that moron Donald Skunk!!!!!!
Let’s guess, you and your frightened latte liberal midgets are sitting around giving each other hope for the future. Surely you can come up with better terminology then Skunk, a-hole, latrines,food stamps, Medicaid, third grade. You have not used “not legit” President yet. Surely you can do better. It did not take Assange and the Russians to bring your girl down. I won’t say it didn’t help. HIllary has been a habitual liar since the days of Watergate. The Democrats even saw through her in the mid-seventies. BIll’s apron strings could only take her so far. This election was simply a repudiation of OBama and his acolyte Hillary. AGain, when you spend a billion of other people’s money and have eighty percent of all media supporting you. Well!!! The folks began to take a closer look and found a few character flaws. If you and your deranged friends begin now, maybe you can push Elizabeth Warren and Bernie over the finish line. That would be a tickethard to beat. Maybe not!!! I will say that being on the winning side allows me to vent without raising by blood pressure too much. But, you and your friends have that option of moving to SAN Francisco, sitting on the dock and , while eating your cheese, crackers and drinking wine while pondering over what might have been. At least, the left coast is calling. Now, I must get to sleep. Tennis comes early tomorrow. Sure hope my renters pay up tomorrow because I need the money to travel the world. Just another nasty capitalist with a third grade education. Nyet ps. I still think you are probably a nice guy. It may take a while to get over rancor. It took me eight years.
Sorry Mr. Johnny Moronsky but nothing you say about your retardlican party or it’s racist candidate will change my mind about how I view Trump or his biased comments. You can cover for him and his moronic ape like views, his ignorance and his insults. Therefore, good luck, he is meeting with Vladimir Putan soon, I can almost guess how that meeting is going to end! I’m confident Trump will forge ahead with a new alliance (AS HE AND HIS TEAM PLANNED) now EXXON/MOBIL can continue to drill in Russian waters! This appears to be the plan, wonder what the payoff was??????????
Mr Villain I have been try to analyze your problem. I have read your rebuttals to others. You apparently use the same derisive remarks when addressing your opponents. You have said little about yourself except that have paid taxes and in the military 12 years. I assume you must have come out as a Pvt or fell on your head during your training maneuvers. I sense that you look like Tom Perez who appears to be sniveling idiot. When you hold up Maddow and Schumer, you give all the information we need. Please Don’t disgrace Lincoln by inserting him in your discussion. I knew Limcoln , and believe me, you are no Lincoln . . I told you I checked your other blogs. I believe that you and Perez share an affinity. Maybe, its the name. I will watch him carefully to gain a little more insight into your thinking. Did you actually vote in the last election?. Lincoln would not have voted for Clinton as she married a bonefide draft dodger. Sorry, but this is getting tiresome. I will assume you are married. Please put down the I-pad and have some fun with your family. Can I assume you are living in the rust belt or in Madison Wisconsin?? Just guessing. Time for the ball game. GO ZAGS. You see, we conservatives are for the underdog. PS? I actually picked NC to win the Championship. You don’t strike me as someone who knows one ball from another. I could be wrong!!!!! By your name, you probably think soccer is is “”football”. I hate to be a divider.!! ! Good night and take a break or your condition could get worse?
Mr. Johnny Moronsky, do us all a favor and take a long walk off a short pier. Your moronic and ignorant comments are way off base and are unfounded at best. Just cause you are in love with a commie lovin man with Ayatollah tendencies (Donald Trump) does not mean that the rest of the country is as stupid and ignorant as you are!!!!!
p.s.- if you had a brain, you’d know that Trump’s mother was born and raised in another country, this is why his behavior towards Obama, irregardless of what he has done (my wife and I also agree that Obama was not 100% innocent and has done some dopey things like fast & furious) but we judge him based on what he has done for the poor and middle class. Therefore, if you want to continue pointing fingers, start with Trump and his conspiracy theories and his childish tweets. Trump needs to grow up and start acting like a president instead of insulting the world and half the citizens in his own country. In the event you did not know it, Trump received 6 medical deferments keeping him out of military service, while the rest of us had to serve during that time, none of us respect him for his unpatriotic behavior!!!!! Standing in front of the American flag does not cut it for me, but I’m sure that you as a moron do!!!!!!
p.s.- Mr. Johnny Moronsky- Donald Trump also committed “treason” on national TV by asking the Russians to commit cyber attacks against another US Citizen. I’m sure that you knew this because your a smart guy with an IQ of 1.0 slightly above plant life!
She’s right; the ACA should be repealed first, entirely, and then start over, but SLOWLY! And neither we the taxpayers, nor those of us paying for our insurances, should have to pay more, period! Health care is not cheap, and the idiots on the left need to wake up to that fact.
If we take away health care for the Congress and Senate, they will be forced to make a new good bill for they will be stuck with this Obamanation health bill no one citizen wanted. No government medicine…..
I concur MAryanne33!
AND IT IS NOT A RIGHT UNDER THE CONSTITUTION!!! Next, are they going to want the government to provide us cheap or free CAR INSURANCE??? Are we not responsible for anything for ourselves????
Of course not…our nation is failing financially now….can you imagine how much faster that will happen,if they made health care a “right”? The left hasn’t a clue about real world economics.
Why are they making this repeal so difficult. The problem is the GOP has no idea how to be united on Healthcare. We were promised that they would repeal Obamacare. But there are the Rino’s that think that all that is need is a repair.
When the Democrats passed Obamacare 100% of them voted for it. And no matter what the GOP comes up with they will NEVER get all of them to unite for anything.
The GOP needs to keep their promise. If they mess around and pass this non-repeal bill they WILL lose the Senate in 2018 and the House and White House in 2020.
“Fool us once, shame on you. Fool us twice, shame on us”
“Fool us for a third time and you will lose our vote.”
These Republicans wanted to repeal the ACA, right away; and were stopped by President Trump, and the other Republicans; because they aren’t really willing to pull the the plug on the financial gravy-train that the ACA is for Health Insurance; Hospital Systems and Big-Pharma: http://www.politico.com/story/2017/02/obamcare-conservatives-repeal-replace-234983
do not trust ryan and a lot of those republicans and democrats the president should go ahead and to what he said he was going to do and to hell with these so called republicans and democrats. can not stand ryan he and the rest of them are with soros and will do anything to stop trump..
Ryan must go now. How do We the People, get him out. We the people want Obamacare to implode and now…Schumer is pure Scum and makes us all sick everyday he is in office…He must go too.
Ryan and the RINOS are about the same as the lefty Dems, and are as dangerous as they come…..we’re screwed folks!
It’s my belief that the POTUS has a handle on this! He will do what he says. Trump is using this to root out the Rinocommies.
Hope you are right! McCain and Graham are so gunning for him at every turn-and Ryan isn’t helping with his stupid budget demands, It is getting ugly, and the socialist dems are eating it up
You don’t understand and neither do the democommies! The corrupt of DC are beginning to be exposed. It’s part of a yuge plan. Give it time and all will see. How does one root out evil? Act stupid and they will pour out of the walls! From DC to state levels and all the way to MSM. Give it a little time. The plot will unfold.
Time for term limits….standing or feet first I don’t care. Seems we need to threaten them for real instead of words.
Medicare for all would work for everyone..
Warpaint I agree. Term limits are the most important of all right now. Total crooks and theives in office contaminated by years of feathering their own nests on the lives and backs of the seniors and veterans who deserve the help and not the do nothing reps that never get voted out..They get voted in by rote..Just make a mark by the party of choice..Stupid idea. The public is too dumbed down to vote in anyone…Let the governor’s we vote in choose the reps for the state..They will know who the snakes are…Take a look at Flake in Arizona, running for his life as he is up for re-election and all of Arizona is wanting him to lose and get out of our lives for good and all. Waters, the huge dunce in office forever in Calif is another example, In the good old days we had the press to help us know what was what with the crooks in office but now the press are the crooks.
This just goes to show the republican party is bad to the core. They would sell all the republican votes down the tubes to win the president chair. All you “starch” republican better think about your kids’ future. The republican RINOs you are backing are going to destroy your way of life. I’m thinking the “Convention of States” under the 5th Amendment is our only hope. When it happens, it may get bloody.
Laura, please try to get some time with the president to talk about the AHC.
The way this country is currently (un)thinking, as in divided, America is right at the tipping point of NEEDING a dictator – or, we continue to slide inexorably into some third world status. America’s government, as with the Titanic, is so huge that attempting to turn from the iceberg of destruction is all but impossible. With, low estimates of, fifty percent of working age Americans receiving some benefit from our beneficent government treasury, how does anyone but a dictator pull that plug? We no longer are an ‘independent society,’ we are one suckling off of the government teat. As with any birth to death nanny government, it is NOT sustainable!
A dick-tater WOULD be the end of our country. We the people need to start working together and caring for one another. There is no such thing as a totally “independent society”. Either we are a society or we are not.
Possibly, Eric. However, I submit that “working together and caring for one another” resides in the realm of our Lord. As far as “the end of our country,” you do need rose colored glasses to believe “people” will experience some epiphany resulting in changing of their hearts! God has been kicked to the curb in this country with barely a murmur of dissent. Hope does spring eternal, as long as there is breath; just forgive me if I don’t hold mine until We The People are ‘back in charge.’ Far too many never heard the words “give me liberty or give me death,” they intone, “give me as much as you can for as long as you can, I love being cared for.”
Firewagon, if you are saying one has to be religious to care for our fellow man and planet I would beg to differ. Or if you are saying that we needn’t care for our fellow man and it is up to God, I would still have to differ. My glasses are quite clear, thank you, and a dick-tater would be the end of our country. I don’t believe God has been kicked to the curb, but I do believe your concept of your God took a hard right turn into the curb. I will agree that we the people need to be back in charge but that is impossible with a dick-tater in charge, and Mr Trump is looking more like a dick-tater each day that passes.
Eric, you are either too young, and/or embracing the left’s nirvana idea that all can be made right if government is allowed to “help.” By too young, you can not have known America before the cancer that is government started metastasizing, exponentially, during the ’60s! Your glasses can not be clear, if you recognize not that America’s decline, at home in particular, is tied directly to the decimation of the American family. Look up any statistics relating to American culture, from birth to death. ALL indicators, marriage, divorce, abortion, one parent households, murder (Chicago alone), ANYTHING, are in the toilet. The answer to Rodney King’s lament, “can’t we all just get along,” has long been NO. My point being, you can dream of flowers in the fields about the need “for people to start caring about each other,” however, you ‘may not’ “need to be religious to care for our fellow man,” but “I” believe God only holds the power to change man’s heart. Your’s and your anti-Trump crowd’s continued vilification of all things Trump is certainly no august beginning to “caring for our fellow man!” Your credibility for any ‘caring’ is incredible right after your reference to Trump as “dick-tator (eloquent also.)”
Firewagon. i’m dreadfully sorry, but your assessment of me is not quite right. I was raised in the 50’s when there was a middle class and a family could live quite well on one income. My folks were of “the Great Generation”. They lived through the depression and WWII. I remember the 60’s differently than you. Though we share that the government was making great mistakes, I believe we view the mistakes differently, and the metastasizing differently. I remember the union busting and economic decisions that helped to make family life more difficult also. The last time the disparity of personal resources was as great as it is today was 1929 I think you might recall what happen then? If you think all ills are defined simply as “family issues” I feel it is you that is looking through the rosey glasses and over-simplifying. I remember the 70’s as a time we were concerned about the environment and overpopulation. That went by the weigh side as well with a POTUS that believed in conspicuous consumption. We as a country are what, 4% of the world’s population yet we alone use more than 25% of the world’s resources. Is more militarism and war to feed our hunger for resources and “stuff” good for family? I will agree that God might be needed to change a person’s heart, but I do not believe that it has to be the god you believe in. I hate to say it, but I have seen in my time people who believe in your God do more harm than good. On the other hand I have seen miracles come form of spirituality. I’m sorry you do not appreciate my sense of humor, but I will say that if I was to name any person as one of being a “good family man” or a person of “God conscience”, or a caring individual, Trump would be nowhere on the list of possibilities.
It is not entitlement. Get over it.
Maybe the trap door should be open under the senators and congressmen who came up with it.
trump cant pass the sanity test- that why trumpcare is a trap!
I hope trump wins in 2020 because if he doesn’t win we are going to be faced with a possible hitlery or obamas wookie in.
You conservatives hope it is a trap.It cannot be any worse than what we have now.
Trump is no dummy … I’ll trust him. Bottom line. let Obamacare continue until it fully crashes and democrats must do something to salvage Obama’s legacy.
All number and values are examples.
In the meantime, President Trump must use the bully pulpit to force the republicans to create a solid plan that gives full responsibility to the state with the requirement that buyers can buy anywhere USA and that every offered policy must include 20% under $30K and that no person shall be billed more than 5% of their gross income. Hence every policy that the very rich have shall be have in its pool at least 20% of low income with the identical plan coverage and the poorest can have it by a 5% deduction of the welfare payment (sort of a FICA and Ins. deductions).
Limit medical liability payment/settlement to something like a total maximum from all parties of $1,000,000 for procedures and $500,000 for deaths. There may be different limits for different classifications.
Something like that would be free market and at no cost out of Federal budget and policy premiums would only increase about 10% to middle and upper income to give the coverage to the lower and no income group.
Finally, all policies should be paid out of net income and not be allowed as a corporate, business or taxpayers (in the case of elected officials or government paid individuals) expense or cost.
HC cost dropping depends on the competition created by being able to but across state lines (just like auto, H.O. & whatever else gets insured)! So…where does that come in? Phase 3? What happens if some. but not all 3 phases pass thru congress? I agree with Laura Ingram in this one! The president needs to meet w/ these fierce democrats To ask them what their beefs are & deal w/ them, then put it all out there & see what flies.
Republicans never had a plan to replace Affordable Health Care and never said they did. Trump on the other hand made bold statements during the campaign that he would repeal Affordable Health Care and provide a better Health Care program that was cheaper and offered more services. It’s republicans that Trump forced into the replacement scheme.
I’m also waiting for Trump to totally defeat ISIS that claim seems to have dissipated.
The wall is being paid for by Americans. Trump can’t even keep a Russian spy boat off our coast near military naval bases.
If I had lot’s of free time I could make a nice list of campaign promises that have vanished.
Trump is quite the Magician.
The Help>>> Its more like the previous administration “forced” its BIG LIE of “affordable health care” on the American citizens ((illegals & refugees do not have to pay)) that ends up being anything and everything BUT affordable and we did not get to keep our doctors, cant afford co-pay, cant afford premiums, and on and on….etc. I thought aboma already told us that he had “isil, the j.v. team, on the run”?? And, again, boats off of our coasts were happening the past couple years….Even one of our Naval Boats got boarded and our Soldiers put on their knees with hands behind their heads and held for some amount of time….I mean this stuff that you bring up was already going on before this administration and there is absolutely NO TOLERANCE for the new administration to get their bearings or even get their Cabinet filled because of all the obstruction from the opposition. The USA was in deep trouble many years before Trump got in Office and deeply divided mostly from the past 8 years of propaganda at nazi proportions. The USA is beyond divided and everyone knows the saying that goes with that….a country divided, can not stand. Promise’s cant “vanish” when they have only had approx.7 weeks to accomplish and that has never been done and is impossible to do…..time is needed for the process of government to be put into place and begin to work or not. No tolerance and obstruction and hate is what we have in high positions of law making government; along with the media and people rioting all over the nation. Almost like these folks have literally lost their minds. No common sense….children ruling over nations is exactly what we have. We were foretold that these things would happen like this and they are and those who Believe are not surprised at the evil foolishness that is going on in these of days.
After reading the GOP Health Care Plan and comparing it with Nobamas Affordable Health Care Act, I have noticed there is no difference other than “re-wording” the document. It is still Obamacare!
No difference at all!
Vickie I miss you so very much. Please forgive me.
Maybe President Trump should allow Obamacare to die the death of a rag doll. Amend it to allow people to elect other insurance plans without penalty and specify when and if cost of Obamacare exceeds $ xxxxxx Federal costs it will be abolished and all insured still on it must attain insurance on the free market plan. The Dems only invented Obamacare, where over half of the recipients get it free, for the purpose of buying votes at the expense of the 49% working Americans. This should give these free loaders a year to get their own insurance, or not. They can go back to the County Public Health Facilities.
The ship has been on the “wrong course” for a very long time—–with the VOTE FOR IT NOW AND READ IT LATER, B.S. pumped by the Obama crowd—-to make a ship “come about” too fast could (at the very least) make the passengers (We Americans) feel sick—-the ship needs to be SLOWLY turned into a correct course. The only thing that needs to be FAST TRACKED is the WALL.
Let Obamacare continue until it fully crashes and its supporters must do something to salvage Obama’s and their legacy. The following numbers are examples.
1.] President Trump must ‘bully pulpit” to create a plan giving full responsibility to the states with requirements that buyers can buy anywhere USA and all policies must include 20% under $30K and no one billed more than 5% of gross income. Hence the identical plan coverage of very rich shall be pooled with at least 20% of low income and the poorest can have it by a 5% deduction like FICA even if from welfare checks.
2.] Limit medical liability payment/settlement to a total maximum from all parties of $1,000,000 for procedures and $500,000 for deaths with different limits for different classifications.
3.] Finally, all policies should be paid out of net income and not be allowed as a corporate, business or taxpayers (in the case of elected officials or government paid individuals) expense or cost.
This would be free market at no cost to Federal budget and policy premiums would only have a moderate increase to middle and upper income people to cover the lower and no income groups.
RYAN, McCONNELL, McCAIN AND GRAHAM ARE STIFFING THE PRESIDENT ON THIS RYAN CARE THAT IT IS SAD TO WATCH! WE DEMANDED AND TRUMP STATED THAT HE WOULD REPEAL BOZO CARE! WELL IT IS NOT HAPPENING AS RYAN AND THIEVES FROM THE INSURANCE COMPANIES AND LOBBYISTS ARE SCREWING THE FOLKS AGAIN! GO AFTER YOUR CONGRESSMEN/WOMEN TO FORCE THE FULL REPEAL AND REMIND THEM OF THE UP COMING ELECTIONS FOR SOME OF THESE PUSSIES FOLLOWING THE RYAN CARTEL!
There are so many things that need to be revised, changed or repealed completely, Congress better smarten up & let him do his job. the only reason he ran, America was falling apart, let him fix it!!!
I have a new name for those who claim to represent the American people but instead are trying to prevent our elected President Trump from doing what he promised to do. They are the DeceptaCons. I pray that God will send in more True Transformers to help our President disassemble and drain that swamp.
Trap? YES – and I love every minute of said “trap” 😉
I believe that Laura Ingram is right.
Since the so called leaders in Washington can’t repeal obummer care it must be good so why aren’t the pond scum in Congress and the Senate on it?
Laura Ingraham is right—Trump has already started losing his core base over his stance with the RINOS —-i am very disappointed in Trump—this is not what he promised in his campaign—if Trump continues backing the RINOS on healthcare he will definitely lose big time
Hang in there!!! The Swamp is vast , and, there is more than one Rhino that has to be eradicated.
Ryan and globalist company trapped Trump, but it isn’t over yet. God will give Trump the answers he needs to fix this. I love it when these evil-doers gloat… it means they’re ready to fall again, even lower than before. This is OUR time. Stay strong and have faith that God is for us! God is not slack concerning His promises. He promises to protect His children and America’s Republic was founded on Biblical principles and is intricately intertwined with God’s word, which does not come back void. That is why these globalists will not prevail against us until the church is taken out of this world and then, and only then, will the NWO be ushered in. To the absolute horror and devastation of all who inhabit earth at that time. Today is our day. Stay focused and trust God. He is still on the throne and we are victorious as a country through Jesus Christ and Him alone.
The socialization of our medical care is a very big trap for our republic. To allow any vestige of this abomination to remain would be tantamount to tearing up and stomping on the oath-of-office. I have read and reread the Constitution, and I can find no wording which remotely allows for the Federal Government to meddle in the health of its citizens.
Mr. President: Tear it up, and don’t replace it with anything.
It is becoming increasingly clear that there is little if any difference in a democrat or a republican. We have been victims of both for too many years. Thee are many Joe Donnelys who are republicans such as Mc Clain
What we need is for Congress and all FEDERAL employees to participate in our health care plan. The constitution states they cannot make laws for us common folk that they themselves do not participate in, which they currently do. They would surely come up with a decent plan if they had to buy into it, plus it would infuse money into the healthcare system. Also….sure would like to decide on the amount of my raise like they do….oh wait, I did get a Medicare raise….the same amount of raise as my Medicare Part B increase. Wish I could get the 5 or 6% Congress generally gives themselves.
