A Blast from The Past …. “GOP Health Care Plan: Don’t Get Sick …. And if You Do Get Sick, Die Quickly ….. “!!

~~July 18, 2017~~ 

THE REPUBLICAN CARE PLAN

If you don’t know what has happened in the last couple of days related to the health care issue discussed in secret meetings, without hearings and the usual procedures, you have been hiding under a rock.

Bottom line, the Senate didn’t have the votes to pass “TrumpCare“.

The new idea, coming from Turtle McConnell and tweeted by this ‘so called president’ is REPEAL NOW, REPLACE LATER.

McConnell’s brilliant idea:

repeal Obamacare now with a two year delay to provide for a stable transition period. 

I had a ‘blast from the past‘ thought and remembers Alan Grayson, former Democratic Representative for the 8th congressional district of Florida.

Take a trip through memory lane … in 8 years, nothing has changed!

SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE

A FACE ONLY HIS MOTHER COULD LOVE

Don’t quote me but I read somewhere, in passing, that he’d dreamed about dismantling Medicaid when he was in college.

Guess he’s on his way to do so … or so he thinks!

Found it!!

I’ve Been Dreaming About Kicking Poor Off Medicaid Since I Was a Drunk Frat Boy

the health care entitlements are the big, big, big drivers of our debt. There are three. Obamacare, Medicaid, and Medicare. Two out of three are going through Congress right now. So, Medicaid—sending it back to the states, capping its growth rate. We’ve been dreaming of this since you and I were drinking out of a keg.

Something to think about …. “Billy’s story shared by his Dad, Jimmy …. “!!

~~May 4, 2017~~ 

JIMMY’S HEART, BILLY’S HEART

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you mus know by know that Jimmy Kimmel told his family’s personal story about the birth of his brand new son, Billy.

It’s fitting that this be shared because today, the USA’s House of Representatives, lead by Paul Ryan, are claiming to vote on the third attempt at ‘repeal-replace’ the Affordable Health Care Act.

If you haven’t seen Jimmy’s monologue, I strongly recommend that you look for it in YouTube.

Here’s What Republicans Are Voting For on Thursday, May 4

Quick wrap-up of the bill:

There have been no public hearings.

There’s no final text.
There’s no updated CBO score.
It is opposed by virtually every patient advocacy group and everyone in the health care industry.
Congress is still exempted from the new rules that allow states to waive essential benefits.
It raises premiums dramatically for older people.
It removes Obamacare’s protection against being turned down for a pre-existing condition.
It would steadily gut Medicaid spending for the very poorest.
It removes coverage from at least 24 million people, probably more.
It slashes taxes on the rich by about a trillion dollars over ten years.

This is a depraved piece of legislation

It’s a windfall for the rich and promises nothing but misery for the poor. How is it possible that 90% of House Republicans are happily voting in favor of this moral abomination?

Keith Olbermann, #45 …. “TRUMPCARE …. Gutting Health Care Will Kill Americans …. “!!

~~March 15, 2017~~ 

APOCALYPSE FORETOLD

I’ve been in healthcare all my professional life. At this time, I’ve been retired for 4 years.

I can truly tell you, from the front lines, that healthcare is a major issue in the lives of all Americans.

You never know when any medical condition will strike you or any member of your family.

It can deal a devastating blow to life as you know it … emotionally and financially.

It’s my strong personal belief that we are on this Earth to help each other when needed.

We are not here to hurt anyone!

“DO NO HARM”

Trumpcare vs. Obamacare

The Congressional Budget Office report on Trumpcare is out, and it’s devastating: 14 million people losing insurance in the first year, 24 million over time, with premiums soaring for older, lower-income Americans — in many cases, the very people who went strongly for President Trump.

The C.B.O. thinks it would reduce the deficit, but only marginally, around $30 billion a year in a $19 trillion economy.

Obamacare imposes a mandate to induce healthy people to sign up, offers means-tested subsidies to make insurance affordable and expands Medicaid to take care of people with really low incomes. Trumpcare eliminates the mandate, slashes subsidies overall and redirects them to those who don’t need them and sharply cuts Medicaid.

Of course that leads to a huge drop in coverage.

“As it appears in … full read/full credit”

I feel this is important information about what is happening in the Republican Administration lead by Drumpf and what we need to be aware of.

Keith Olbermann series called “The Resistance” continues.

He has posted installment #45.

The video speaks for itself.

If this resonates with you, good.

If they don’t, just scroll away to the next blog.

Thank you!

American Health Care Act

~Repeal and Replace~

How many times have we heard this?

First of all, please excuse the language.

There are times when one has to get graphic to get the point across some thick heads.

I think this is one such topic.

Trae Crowder does an awesome job in bringing this reality to the level of many who don’t get it.

Let him explain it better!

Liberal Redneck Comes for ‘Anus Polisher’ Jason Chaffetz and Drumpfcare

Liberal Redneck Trae Crowder contemplated not talking about Drumpfcare because it’s so “profoundly terrible that even most Republicans hate it.”

Says Crowder

“This thing is the shi**y Independence Day sequel of health care laws.”

Crowder also comes for “senior Drumpf administration anus polisher Jason Chaffetz” and his remarks about choosing between health care and an iPhone.

“That sh*t is like telling somebody that if they can’t afford their work truck payment this month then maybe they shouldn’t have bought those blue jeans back in October … the cost of an iPhone won’t get you two aspirins and a slap on the ass in an American hospital … Will somebody explain to this dude that a smartphone hasn’t been a luxury item in this country in ten damn years … you can’t hardly live without a smartphone in modern America. It’s a shitty choice to have to make, and that’s the thing. These people don’t know anything about making hard choices.”

~Obamacare vs. Affordable Care Act~

~~Published on Jan 17, 2017~~

Back in 2013 we conducted an experiment on our show. We went out on the street and asked people which was better: Obamacare or the Affordable Care Act.

Obamacare is of course just a nickname for the Affordable Care Act. They’re the same thing.

So with all the attention now on this subject, we decided to ask this question again to see if Americans have learned anything over the last three years.

HYPOCRITICAL POLITICIAN OF THE DAY

Mike Huckabee, Ted Cruz VisitED Kim Davis, The Anti-Gay Marriage Clerk

Tell me which of the two candidates is worse.

They both did this to appeal to their political base and attempt an increasing in their dismal polling numbers. This is a blatant attempt to capitalize for their political gain. This is grandstanding and opportunistic.

“Poor” Kim doesn’t even realize it.

They have no shame.

WE ALL KNOW WHO SHE IS

(I have friends in the Netherlands and they know about her)

Eager to appeal to their social conservative base, GOP presidential contenders Mike Huckabee and Ted Cruz headed to Kentucky on Tuesday, September 9, to meet with Rowan County clerk Kim Davis.

They may have missed their chance for a dramatic jailhouse visit, since the federal judge who put Davis behind bars for contempt of court last week ordered her immediate release on Tuesday.

But Huckabee appeared at a 3 p.m. rally on her behalf. The former Arkansas governor, who had urged his supporters to sign a “Free Kim Davis” petition, announced his plans to visit Davis last week.

Cruz was a bit slower out of the gate. The Texas senator announced that he would be meeting with the clerk who won’t sign marriage licenses for gay couples only shortly before the judge set her free.

The judge has also ordered Davis not to interfere with her deputy clerks, who began issuing marriage licenses to all couples in her absence.

Huckabee and Cruz, who have often rallied to social conservative causes, ardently oppose same-sex marriage. Both men have stressed the importance of religious liberty in their presidential campaigns.

Supreme Court Rejects Challenge To The Patient Protection And Affordable Care Act

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Thursday, June 25, upheld the nationwide tax subsidies underpinning President Barack Obama‘s health care overhaul, rejecting a major challenge to the landmark law in a ruling that preserves health insurance for millions of Americans.

In a 6-3 decision, a decisive victory for President Obama, the Supreme Court on Thursday upheld the broad reach of the new healthcare law, ruling the government may continue to provide tax subsidies for low- and middle-income people who buy insurance nationwide, even in states that did not create an official insurance exchange of their own.

The conservative challenge to the law has been denied. It could have left more than 6 million Americans scrambling to pay for their coverage. It  has now been decided that what has become known as Obamacare, will stand.

The ruling is a crucial win for the Democratic White House, now that Republicans control the House and Senate. Had the high court ruled for the conservative challengers, it would have put the fate of the law in the hands of GOP leaders on Capitol Hill.The outcome was the second major victory for Obama in politically charged Supreme Court tests of his most significant domestic achievement. And it came the same day the court gave him an unexpected victory by preserving a key tool the administration uses to fight housing bias.
