Trump: New Health Care Bill To Guarantee Coverage For Pre-Existing Conditions

Source: Talking Points Memo


By ESME CRIBB Published APRIL 30, 2017 11:43 AM

President Donald Trump on Sunday made several pledges about the next iteration of the Republican plan to repeal and replace Obamacare, which he said will guarantee health coverage for people with pre-existing conditions.

The health care bill is going to help my supporters, Trump [link:http://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-interview-full-transcript-face-the-nation/said] on CBS Face the Nation. Otherwise, Im not going to sign it.

He said the bill will drive competition and set up a pool for the pre-existing conditions so that the premiums can be allowed to fall.

This bill is much different than it was a little while ago, okay? This bill has evolved, he said. And we didnt have a failure on the bill. You know, it was reported like a failure. Now, the one thing I wouldnt have done again is put a timeline.

Trump: Election Hacking Couldve Been China

President Donald Trump on Sunday suggested that China could have been behind the series of cyberattacks that plagued last years election. If you dont catch a hacker, okay, in the act, its very hard to say who did the hacking. With that being said, Ill go along with Russia, Trump said in an interview on CBS Face the Nation. Couldve been China, couldve been a lot of different groups. U.S. intelligence agencies have concluded that Russia was behind a massive influence campaign to help elect Trump and tear down Hillary Clinton. Trump said he is not ambivalent on the issue, but added that we have to find out what happened. He also declared that the hacking had nothing to do with us. The FBI is probing whether Trump officials colluded with Russians to tip the election in his favor.

I picture him coming up with something that is pretty much the same as the ACA and then slapping his name on it. He has no idea how government works. Its all about ratings and poll numbers for him.

levied on the wealthy to pay for the subsidies.

That's the real impetus behind the frantic, repeated attacks on the ACA. The kochs and their ilk keep trying because they are desperate to rescind those taxes.

Their obsession with doing so confirms that they are in fact mentally ill money hoarders.

Trump thoroughly pissed off the Chinese. So if they were to intervene in the US elections, it would not be to help Trump.

That's all the proof you need to show that the Chinese were not the ones who hacked the elections.

Who was Trump praising throughout the elections?

the pools are a sop to make it appear that people with pre-existing conditions and serious long-term needs are not going to be kicked to the curb. But, we all know how this scam operates--the pools will be underfunded from the start and subject to cuts in future. Promoting the pools is just a ruse to try to get puke congress members to vote for this turkey. Those pukes are scared to go along with dump because of the town halls and other resistance.

We will let them know that we see through this dodge and that their political careers will be over if they support dumpcare in any of its dysfunctional iterations.

And you can't guarantee coverage without Medicaid expansion.

It's the math, stupid.

They hate the mandate and their base claims to hate the mandate, but no mandate, no pre-existing coverage, and the pre-existing coverage is becoming the third rail of repealing Obamacare. Or I should say, it's the first third rail of repealing Obamacare.
