"Prior to his presidency, he had likely never had a meaningful discussion in his life about health insurance." "Here was a perfect example of an essential Trump paradigm: he acceded to anyone who seemed to know more about any issue he didn’t care about, or simply one whose details he couldn’t bring himself to focus on closely. Great! he would say, punctuating every statement with a similar exclamation and regularly making an effort to jump from his chair." "In Keystone Cops fashion, the White House enlisted House Intelligence Committee chairman Devin Nunes in a farcical effort to discredit Comey and support the wiretap theory. The scheme shortly collapsed in universal ridicule." "Often they wore their qualms on their sleeves. Mick Mulvaney, the OMB director, made a point of stressing the fact that he worked in the Executive Office Building, not the West Wing. Michael Anton, holding down Ben Rhodes’s former job at the NSC, had perfected a deft eye roll (referred to as the Anton eye roll). H. R. McMaster seemed to wear a constant grimace and have perpetual steam rising from his bald head. (“ What’s wrong with him?” the president often asked.)"
Do you believe it all, 100% ? I don't find the Health Insurance discussion very relevant. Why would a guy who can pay cash for health care ever discuss it previously?
Speaking of Bill, my niece bought me his book about "Killing The Rising Sun" last year and I could not put it down until I finished it. But that's another story.
Wiikleaks has just uploaded a pdf of the book: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Bt6BSc-kxJeTUpMEoJkkbEgEZaSmPjA3/view
I won't be buying the book because I can't imagine there's any thing in it that would surprise me. Whether liberal or conservative, whether we will admit it or not, we all know what trump is.
That is a common GOP theme, not just Trump. A point Trump and GOP agree. The problem as Moi sees it, is that the gov't requires me to pay into the profits of private health insurance companies that exist for profit. And the rates / coverage are obnoxiously bad. Calculate the cost in one month to a family with children all who have the cold/flu the same month. What coverage? Just insuring inc.-s don't go unpaid. There should be a gov't alternative insurance to private company offerings. Like buying into MediCare. No problem here with the repeal of ObamaCare that cares for the Health Industry and little else. Moi r > g Across an immense, unguarded, ethereal border, Canadians, cool and unsympathetic, regard our America with envious eyes and slowly and surely draw their plans against us.
I can see your point. A government health insurance scheme is a good idea. A frequent complaint from the ultra right who are opposed to our Medicare in my country, is that we go to the doctor at the drop of a hat! Health care is expensive. Is this because of doctors fees, hospital charges, pharmaceutical companies, laboratory costs, nurses and ancillary staff wages? A combination of the lot, or because private health care proprietors have some very efficient lobbyists? How can the less advantaged people be cared for in a first world country so that they don't end up homeless or poverty stricken because of illness/accident, when they can't afford health insurance?
