Trump is gonna ELIMINATE coverage for pre-existing conditions, isn't he??
Hello:
Right
now, insurance companies CAN'T discriminate against you IF you have a
pre-existing condition.. That IS the law of the land.. Sooooo, if Trump
is gonna KEEP that promise, he would do NOTHING.. But, his bill lets
the states opt out.. Of course, you KNOW if the states CAN opt out,
they WILL..
That'll take us back to the bad old days when
sick people could be DENIED health insurance, and they'll DIE in the
streets..
Admittedly, Obamacare needs work. Trumps failure to bring out an acceptable alternative and that disaster he tried to present failure to go through was, hopefully, a slap in the face for him. He finally admitted that healthcare was a difficult subject but I have little faith that he'll be able to resolve the issue to the benefit or approval of all. But to be fair, in all honesty IS an impossible task.
However. Eliminating coverage for pre-existing conditions would be a nightmare. It's very loosely termed, most insurances would deny coverage any chance they could and people would be at the mercy of whatever whim the company they pay into has at the moment.
Apparently you are too young to have actually paid these premiums. I went from $38 to $220. So did my counterparts. Don't talk to me about premiums if you don't personally know what you are talking about. We were punished for being ambitious hard workers to support those who sit on the couch.
Um yeah... it is... that's why Trump won. Obamacare. That's it. Your plan was a torandic destructive force to the average person in the United States. You are now wanting us to pay for all the bs illegals you wanted covered. Yeah? I've got one finger for you. Figure out which one it is, and when you have to pay it, don't cry, or I'll laugh in your face. Talk to me in 5 years when you can't afford to live, but your illegal friends are paid for. Hypocrite.
Oh please mint tea. You are scared of the left. Pick a side like a man or a woman and say what you know is right. I'll stand before God one day, and what He cannot accuse me of is not standing up for what I believe in. How about you?
The left acts like if Trump took away universal care that, that would be some new phenomenon. No. That's the way it has been throughout the world for almost all of human history. It's not the responsibility of hard working people to get third rate care so that non workers can get first rate.
Obamacare didn't "give 20 million more people coverage". It gave millions no care and simply swapped who died and who was covered. Everybody is worried about the 20 million, but have noconcern for the millions who couldn't get covered BECAUSE of Obamacare.
He always says it will be "available". His rich followers will be able to "avail it", no problem. Those that can't will be just as dead as those American heroes that get caught by a bullet, or bomb, that the right wing dons their flag underwear for ... and just as American. They will get no parade, no speeches, no salutes. Most will be put to rest as dead lazy liberals that didn't make enough money to finance the insurance cartel .... to bad. Their bankrupt family will, no doubt, follow in the lazy liberals footsteps. Health care is a privilege, not a right ... unless you can contribute heavily to the insurance cartel and the Trump Care Administration, you are NOT an American. You probably don't understand capitalism! The thoughts of "Government of, FOR, and BY the people" is a left wing fantasy that should be relegated to the myths of democracy, and forgotten. So says Trumpty Dumpty.....sitting on his "wall".
It would take less billions$ to care for those Americans than to build that stupid wall!!
-----health care is a privilege, not a right -----
But it's true. Why is a doctor obligated to use time and resources on someone who will not or cannot pay? If they do, that 's fine, but why are they obligated to help anyone? We are lucky that they want to help us. It's a privelege.
Congress cut veterans benefits, not Obama. As far as healthcare being a privilege, you are SICK.
Remember, Congress holds the purse strings, little money, except in emergencies, gets spent without THEIR okay! HMMM, who controlled the "do nothing Congress"?????
-----As far as healthcare being a privilege, you are SICK-----
I see. So you are willing to work for free and even pay the costs of your work, and so should all medical professionals just cause... (even on those who are illegally here...)That's just plain wrong in so many ways...
I did it for years for Social Security. That's what Americans DO! It's a small burden (an INSURANCE) that you pay 'til you need it, then what goes around, comes around. When you are young, hopefully, you wont need it. When you get old (again, hopefully you do), it is there for you! (Unless conservatives fk it up for you before you get there!) That's just RIGHT in so many ways!
Its been the American Way since FDR, and throughout our years of largely Democratic control .... when America was great!
So, what's wrong with a team effort by Americans to get America great AGAIN, as it was during our Democratic years??
What's interesting is how the Kennedy's (Democrats), waged war on the KKK to get rid of this ultra-conservative, anti-government, anti-immigrant, anti-Jew, anti-Muslim, group and almost destroyed them .... because Democrats didn't like that kind of America .... that backed Southern Republicans after WE threw them out of OUR party years before. The KKK was NEVER "in control", The FBI chased them for years, just like they chased La Cosa Nostra ... the Kennedy's (Democrats), broke THIER back also!
By the way. Just WHEN do you think America was "great"?? How far back would YOU like to take U.S.? To the pre-Teddy years? The Oligarch that was controlled by billionaires .... the soup lines? The pickup of workers on street corners? (You wanna eat? We'll pay you enough for a MEAL!) THAT "great America"??
Who is opposing Trump like it is a war, using violence to stop conservative speakers, attacking cops, and burning the flag and kneeling at the National Anthem? Who was praising Fidel Castro like a demi god? Was that the liberal press?
2)Anti Immigrant-
Liberals went after Melania Trump like dogs foaming at the mouth. We aren't "anti immigrant". Many immigrants are conservatives. The left calls them "uncle toms". We think they escaped from the cotton fields of the left where "Mexicans are here to do the jobs no one wants".
3)Anti Jew-
The left is Anti Israel, wants them to give up their land, and has allied politically with Islam. The Quran is a plethera of anti Jew hate speech. It literally refers to Jews as pigs and swine, of which Hitler used in anti Jew rhetoric. He then allied with Muslims in WWII, and put Muslims in the SS. It's where they got the idea of burning people alive ISIS style. Steve Bannon was/is a Jew. The left tried to destroy him.

1976-2000
The first generation to truely look to have moved past most of the angst between whites and blacks because they were raised in schools together, and race baiting was considered evil and wrong by society. Reasonable, controlled spending, revivals and spiritual awakenings, the country was safe, the flag and God were respected, and a spirit of national unity. The left respected and fought for free speech rather than fight against it. The left fought for women's rights rather than defend the burka and hijab and female oppression by Muslims as "freedom of religious expression\". Back when a minority Conservative yielded the same respect as a liberal minority, rather than being celled names. Back when the left stood against extreme religious crazies rather than make excuses for some of them, calling them "oppressed" or "misunderstood". Back when the left called a spade a spade.
-----The Oligarch that was controlled by billionaires----
Are you referring to Hillary Clinton's relationship to Morrocco, the Ukraine, and/or Saudi Arabia? Perhaps her secret speeches to the big banks where cell phones and recording devices were confiscated? Or were you referring to Bill Clinton and Chinagate? Maybe Nixon's ghost should demand an apology...
Face it. We, Conservatives, are more like the old left than the new left. If you are from the old left, there's not much left on the left for you. Protects women from foreign ideologies? The right. Protects free speech? The right. Took the side of gays during the Orlando Nightclub shooting? The right. The left looked for ways to mask criticism of the shooter because he fit higher on the totem poll of the oppression olympics. When Trump said we'd fight to protect gays from evil ideologies he received a standing ovation by conservatives at the Republican convention. The left labeled us "Islamaphobes", as if that made sense.
-----So, what's wrong with a team effort by Americans to get America great AGAIN-----
Nothing. We moved left towards old liberalism. So the left just moved further left. Gay marriage was almost a non issue with the right this election. Most of us simply don't care. The old guard is almost gone from old age. The new left decided it would then die in a trench that suppresses free speech, glorifies identity politics, calls minority Conservatives "uncle toms", and needs safe spaces and trigger warnings. It's hard to work with a group that labels you as some kind of "phobe" or "ism" as soon as you disagree, as opposed to having open dialogue and compromise, and then claims you are guilty of "hate speech", then begins screaming at you and trying to hit you, appealing to emotions over intellect.
He'll probably eliminate coverage for the biggest pre-existing condition that there is. It's called "Life". And it's extremely deadly. 100% of people who contract Life eventually end up dead. So why bother to cover that?
Well... in the Bilbe Christ even forgave those who were killing and torturing him. To piss him off means you deserve every bit of wrath that comes your way. Are you testing karma and your expiration date simply for a few giggles, and will it matter...... later in life? And most importantly... where is your heart?
without a doubt.................................................................................................................................................
Trump already called people like you complete deceptive liars as always.
He said people with pre existing illness will not lose coverage. They may have to pay more because they use up so much of the plans resources. No different than any insurance whereby those who cost the insurance companies the most money, pay more.
