Old news made new again: "6 promises Trump has made about health care"

Sorry -- In light of the dangerous Senate bill that the GOP unveiled today, I remembered this listing of Trump's promises regarding healthcare when the House version was still being floated around back in March:

Without the article discussion, Trump's goals were these:

- ‘INSURANCE FOR EVERYBODY’
- ‘NO CUTS … TO MEDICAID’
- ‘NO ONE WILL LOSE COVERAGE’
- ‘NOBODY WILL BE WORSE OFF FINANCIALLY’
- ‘GET RID OF ARTIFICIAL LINES’ (regarding inter-state insurance)
- ‘EVERYBODY’S GOING TO BE TAKEN CARE OF’


I thought this list bore repeating, as Trump clearly lied to the American people. If the GOP gets this bill through the Senate and lands it on Trump's desk, of COURSE he'll sign it, if for no other reason than because it undoes an Obama accomplishment, period. Trump's nothing if not proud and vain.
