GOP REALLY ONLY WANTS HEALTH CARE FOR THE RICH AND NO ONE ELSE.

Sorry to shout. Look at these bastards. They have no viable plan and do not want to have any. They just want to take EVERY PROGRAM APART. They would just abolish Social Security, Medicair, Medicaid, Food Stamps abruptly. These pricks only want to rich to have it all and they are in charge. And Trump has a cabinet of all billionaires and millionaire for all practical purposes. The inauguration should be a riot and not a celebration.

We are facing the worst disaster in the last 100 years with the GOP rapists and murderers in charge. We have not even begun to see the evil of the GOP which will be on steroids. Why are they being treated a legitimate at all. We know they gamed the entire election and stole everything. It is ALL there.

Sorry but I am getting frustrated by all the code words. We will be in a state of shock after January 20th. The GOP is planning it "shock and awe" demonstration of their tyrannical power.

items for the GOP.

1. Punish Obama voters, punish them for electing the bad, scary black man, TWICE

2. Destroy the legacy of Obama

Now as long as historians are not propagandists, Obama will get credit for being one of our best presidents ever and the Grand Ole Party as being the obstructionists they truly are.

If you really read between the line the GOP wants a country that is only for the wealthy to enjoy. The rest of the population is just economic chattel. If you look at ALL their policies it is hard to conclude otherwise.

A big part of the ACA is that it imposes big taxes on the wealthy, including excise taxes on "Cadillac" insurance policies. Repealing it is a tax break for the 1%.

Then, of course, there is the whole privatization thing, where anything that the government does that might be a revenue stream for a business must be eradicated, and if a company cannot make a profit doing it, then it is not worth doing. Healthcare is just the most recent BIG THING they are going for. In the extractive industries, for example, I've heard from RW nuts who won't be happy until Yellowstone is strip mined for the coal underneath it.

Actually, it's not the "legacy" they are trying to destroy. They want to destroy all of the concrete improvements that have been instituted over the last 8 years.

the annual cost or total is WELL over the $10,000 threshold.

Due to my age there is hardly a plan that doesnt go over that. Lots of non rich will be affected by this with that threshold.

But I dont think we have to worry about something that will happen in 2018, we arent going to last that long, surely our economy wont.

War is a highly profitable process and this will be pointed out to Mr. Trump quickly and he will then invest in the companies that will get the contracts, etc.

They want a world where the rich live in a tropical space paradise with access to free, unlimited health care, while the meek are left to stir in our own juices on Earth.

Deal with global warming. Obviously some of their puppets privately accept the science of climate change and overpopulation. Radically increasing the death rate by tossing Obamacare and privatizing Medicare and Social Security so there's fewer old people to worry about. By the maybe a year has passed, job losses, starting with healthcare professionals and support staff and spiraling down as they further cut down the government, from ould exceed Bush2's 700,00 a month. There goes housing and we're smack dab in a depression with no government support whatsoever.

A little dark extrapolation. And who is the "they" managing the death march? Are the Russians and the Koch boys working together? Let me know when you find out.
