what is "trumpcare"?

there was a commercial on one of the teevee stations here in sunny west central floriduh this afternoon touting "Trumpcare" with a vocal overdub by the conman himselft.

I was painting the woodwork and just caught the end of it.

any ideas?

If you get sick, you have to spend all your money for your treatments.

Then you die.

Remember, everything Trump touches, dies.

it was a teevee commercial with the conman narrating how you get to keep your doctor and plan.

What the hell slipped by?

Trump is always lying to his base about how well off they are because of him, and its always a lie. But they only listen to Fox News and him, so they think he's telling the truth. The rest of us know that he hasn't done anything to improve health care, only destroy it, and that the plan they did try to get through Congress didn't lower the cost of health care and essentially only stole Medicaid funds. And that is all that is on the table from Trump and Republicans now. So "Trumpcare" is another lie. Sure you can "keep your doctor and your plan", because its the same or worse plan you already have.

Get people to sign up for RUMP CARE to get them unsigned from ACA? I've been getting e-mails also to sign up for RUMP care.

trump campaigned on healthcare, when he not only had no plan, he never even attempted to come up with a plan. Simply repeated the same rhetoric. "It's going to be way better at a fraction of the cost, and it going to be easy, SO easy!"

He had literally NO plan. Once he became president, he simply went to republicans in congress, said hey gee whiz, you guys some up with something and I'll sign it. I have no idea what's going on.

Which became more evident with his ridiculous comment "No one knew healthcare would be so complicated".

Except everyone knows it's complicated. Except trump.

Yes he actually said that. "No one knew healthcare would be so complicated".

It was simply an assumption that trump was so smart and has some brilliant guy who has a great plan no one else had ever thought of. When he in fact had nothing. Why this was not exposed during the campaign is something I will never understand.
