It's The Two-Week Anniversary of Trump's Latest Lie About Health Care

[ProudMNDemocrat]

Does anyone out there still believe that Republicans have a plan to replace Obamacare?

Two weeks have passed since President Donald Trump proclaimed he would be “signing” a big health care reform plan in two weeks. Don’t hold your breath for a Rose Garden ceremony.

Almost exactly three years ago, the Republican Senate failed to pass a bill that would have repealed the Affordable Care Act and replaced it with a law that would have snatched health coverage from 16 million people. In the 10 years since ”Obamacare? became law, that’s as close as the GOP has gotten to fulfilling its promise to scrap the ACA and pass its own health care bill.

There’s been zero action on the issue in Congress, where Republicans seem tired of talking about it and confronting their own failure. Trump himself has never articulated a vision of what he thinks the health care system should look, and has been making empty, ludicrous and false promises since his campaign for the presidency began.

He’s still at it, and it’s still complete hogwash.

In a FOX News interview taped July 17 and aired two days later, Trump told Chris Wallace:

We’re signing a health care plan within two weeks, a full and complete health care plan that the Supreme Court decision on DACA gave me the right to do.”

Let’s break that down. First, it’s been two weeks. Have you seen a health care plan? Has Trump? Just weeks before that, Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar admitted they have no plan. That’s because there isn’t one and there never has been. Second, the Supreme Court ruling on the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival immigration program ― DACA ― did no such thing.

What comes out of Trump's mouth on a daily basis is all a LIE. It makes me wonder why Reporters do not hold him to account. Finally, some are hammering him about Russian bounties on American soldiers in Afghanistan.

1. Trump has a plan all right

To claim and promise everything before the election , to find out it's trash can policies not worth the paper it's written on , while trump claims the opposite, lying about it. He has a long history of doing this, then when the truth comes out he make's excuses, and claims it's fake news. He doesn't want anyone to have good affordable health care, just himself.

2. K&R for visibility.

3. Last summer he said the plan would be released in two months.

I wonder if any reporters remember that?
