Trump says vote on healthcare can wait until after 2020 election | Reuters
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday he was willing to wait until after the 2020 presidential election to get Congress to vote on a new healthcare plan, giving Republicans time to develop a proposal to replace Obamacare.
Congressional Republicans have been unable thus far to draft a proposal to replace Democratic President Barack Obama’s signature Affordable Care Act despite frequent vows to do so in recent years.
================================================
What a hypocritical political hack. He knows that ending Obamacare now will kill his chances of getting reelected in 2020, so why rush? And the truth is that the Repubs have nothing to replace it with.
Given that he's actively trying to get the entire ACA undone by the courts (which would destroy a good chunk of the health system) it's insane that he has no plan for how to proceed if he succeeds.
He's trying to destroy the health care system now. There's no room for "delay" and "eventually" if we're hit with yet another Trump-induced crisis.
Actually we've seen clinical quality climb and premiums for employer-sponsored insurance plateau since the ACA passed. I'm not sure what you're suggesting changed for you, since "private network plans" are "the system" in the United States. And pricing the breadth of the provider network you choose is what the market is supposed to be doing. If you want a limitless network with no associated premium to price it for you, go get in line with the single-payer crowd.
How do we know the GOP doesn't have a plan? Perhaps because we weren't born yesterday. They've been claiming a plan was right around the corner for a decade now, including during their disastrous total control of government last Congressional session. Nada.
Not a cheap shot at all it’s called the truth. Something that obviously eludes you.
What’s BS? Are you saying republicans have NOT had 8 years to come up with a better plan?
And he's correct. The ACA is a rag. Its a playschool version of proper healthcare. Not this...but neither that. And THAT is Obama's fault. National healthcare is not something one does quickly. I'd venture to say its even more involved that something like...ohhh...executing a witch hunt?Because the mother****er has been yacking about how terrible Obamacare is and how great the whatever will replace it will be. If it is so great why not give it to the people now?
Asshole I can buy. They rest...man ya gotta get over your feelings.Yea that he is a dishonest incompetent asshole.

A. Please learn how to use both the quote function, and the edit button.
B. Just as Obama could not get the ACA through without some fancy dancing...re-doing the ACA is difficult for a whole whack of procedural and political factors that you don't seen to be aware of at all. But I am a bit envious of you as...ignorance is bliss.
And he's correct. The ACA is a rag. Its a playschool version of proper healthcare. Not this...but neither that. And THAT is Obama's fault. National healthcare is not something one does quickly. I'd venture to say its even more involved that something like...ohhh...executing a witch hunt?
Asshole I can buy. They rest...man ya gotta get over your feelings.
Considering that out of the roughly 13,166 posts I've made, and making an extreme assumption that I've screwed up 20 posts where I "might" have made a mistake on the quote function, 99.8% success rate is good enough. So your idiotic comment on that is both petty and shallow, so you might re-evaluate making stupid comments like you just did.
I said nothing about getting things PASSED, I said coming up with a BETTER plan than the ACA which the Republicans have had over 8 YEARS to do so. IF they had, they could have passed it during the 2 YEARS they controlled congress. They could have ALSO used the NUCLEAR option, so saying that the Dems obstructed is both lying and idiotic should you choose to say so.
In other words, try again, you've failed. Everything I've said is FACT.
"So there!"Everything I've said is FACT
Republicans aren't doing it at all. They have not come up with ANY plan that is BETTER than the ACA and they have had over 8 years time to do so and have FAILED. Republicans have proven they can whine, but they can't govern.
"So there!"
Everything you've said, exhibits a very basic understanding of reality in American politics. Hell in any politics.
I believe last year the Republicans did away with that silly mandate?
Bet you forgot that one...din't ya.
Everything I've said is FACT. Either refute it or I accept your concession that you cannot. The Republican had 8 YEARS to come up with a better plan and 2 years to get it to pass. They did neither and that is on them. They don't have a better plan to replace the ACA. Now run along since you cannot refute anything I've said.
So 10 years is not enough to even come up with a draft?And he's correct. The ACA is a rag. Its a playschool version of proper healthcare. Not this...but neither that. And THAT is Obama's fault. National healthcare is not something one does quickly.
And who would want to see an asshole leading their nation?Asshole I can buy.
I do not need to as they are based on reality.They rest...man ya gotta get over your feelings.
Yes, REPEAL is all the Republicans have. They don't have a replacement. Again, everything I've said is factual while what you have just spouted is just partisan bull**** and petty comments.
I suspect what many of the Republicans want is everything put back the way it was. That would be simple but...stupid IMO.So 10 years is not enough to even come up with a draft?
YOU!And who would want to see an asshole leading their nation?
What reality? The one where everyone salivates over an investigation that eventually comes up with bubkus?I do not need to as they are based on reality.
Political suicide and they know it.I suspect what many of the Republicans want is everything put back the way it was. That would be simple but...stupid IMO.
Now you are projecting.YOU!
There is no possible reason.And do you know why you should want that?
And what principle says that only an asshole can achieve that?Because your nation was being taken advantage of all over the place.
America needed a leader who had the balls to stand up and tell NATO and Europe to pull their own weight. Someone who could see Free Trade for what it is...an economic leach. Someone who would put America First.
The one that clearly shows who and what Trump is.What reality?
I hope so.Political suicide and they know it.
Just a little.Now you are projecting.
The 'Learning from History' principal.And what principle says that only an asshole can achieve that?
And that's your problem. You refuse to see reality for what it is, because you see with blinders on.The one that clearly shows who and what Trump is.
No principle states that achievement is any area of endeavor and decency and integrity are mutually exclusive.The 'Learning from History' principal.
I really do not have a problem.And that's your problem.
I see reality exactly as it is and the fact that Trump is a dishonest incompetent moron.You refuse to see reality for what it is
If blinders are used they are entirely on the eyes of the Trump supporters. That there is no single fault for which he has not been held accountable is proof of that.because you see with blinders on.
True, not to mention a total waste.Hatred...makes for nasty ex-wives and bad politics.

For his lies, abuses, boorishness, for the shut down, it is a long list...Accountable...for what exactly?
For his lies, abuses, boorishness, for the shut down, it is a long list...
This may come as a surprise to you, but people with a modicum of decency and integrity still exist and to them someone like Trump is not acceptable even for dog catcher.So...
Nobody ever has lied so much and so consistently about everything as Trump.Every politician lies.
Seriously?What abuses?
As I said at the beginning.Boorishness??? :roll:
No, he did it, he said so and then like the lying asshole he is tried to blame others and you fell for it.I think they're all responsible for the shut down.
Wow. You're TDS is certainly in full bloom eh?This may come as a surprise to you, but people with a modicum of decency and integrity still exist and to them someone like Trump is not acceptable even for dog catcher.
Like this bit of foolishness. Nobody eh?Nobody ever has lied so much and so consistently about everything as Trump.
Yes seriously. What abuses do you think you see?Seriously?
Yes Trump shut down the government. he did so because those 2 lyin' pieces of ****, Pelosi and Schumer, decided to pretend that they'd never ever called for a border wall themselves. Understand this. You TDS types are irrational and will do and say anything to depose your own president. That is neither decent nor does it exhibit any integrity what so ever. What it does display is hatred.No, he did it, he said so and then like the lying asshole he is tried to blame others and you fell for it.
Why, is that position somehow exempt from basic decency honesty and competence requirements or only so for people like you who lack all of that?If you actually had any integrity or decency, you wouldn't be slagging your president constantly on public message boards.
So it was his fault and then tried to blame others.Yes Trump shut down the government.
And how is that relevant? He was offered more money and refused.he did so because those 2 lyin' pieces of ****, Pelosi and Schumer, decided to pretend that they'd never ever called for a border wall themselves.
Understand this. You Trump ass kisser types are irrational but will never change reality. Facts have a nasty way of seeking the light.Understand this. You TDS types are irrational and will do and say anything to depose your own president.
Now please try to stop your Trump ass kissing, it is making you look stupid and it gives you bad breath.Now please try to get that TDS of yours treated as its making you look stupid.
