It’s a GREAT start on doing away with the ACA! Obamacare’s APTCs and copay assistance are very problematic for so many (incompetent and overwhelmed) state and Federal agencies AND a huge portion of the poor slobs (like myself) who are caught in the dragnet of this mess due to all our choices being taken away.
This, in combination with the RNC deciding to support “whoever their nominee will be” back in March (which I posted here a few weeks ago) and now the Speaker of the House gesturing that he and Trump are coming to an understanding supports my view that a lot of the “rhetoric” Trump used when he had up to 16 contenders to compete with is not really who he is, deep down. It’s been almost 3 months since I’ve been paying attention to politics again and in that short time frame, I’ve come to the conclusion that Trump does have the ability to lead this country.
And this is coming from someone who has voted Dem since the mid-late ’80’s and supported SD area Dems for ~10 years in the form of precinct walking, phone banking, distributing yard signs and hosting fund raisers both in the general and midterm elections. So I KNOW what it takes to get elected … even to just a municipal or county post.
All you folks who were saving up your stash of microwave popcorn to watch the dogfight and fireworks at the RNC this July will now likely be treated to a very “Trumpesque” star-studded entertainment gala of epic proportions (big names in music, etc). You may as well break out the champagne or crack open your fav bottle of wine, instead.
Regardless of how long it takes the US Supreme court to nail the coffin shut on the ACA, I predict it won’t last through 2017 if the “right” person is elected President. Good Riddance!!
