Why doesn't anyone in the media ask trump where the healthcare plan is that he promised?

They never call him on the bullshit he spouts. Why aren’t they hounding Moscow Mitch about why he thinks it’s good to starve children, and bankrupt states that have to pay for their blue lives and hospitals and education. Republicans are bankrupt of all humanity when will the media call them on it?

1. Please don't.

Nothing he creates as an executive order will be enforceable - but, meanwhile, in the years it takes the courts sourt it out my daughter may die for lack of access to care currently available under the ACA.

Just let that particular boast pass into oblivion, without prodding the sleeping bear.

3. No question the ACA has saved a lot of lives.

Its so sad that we have to worry about it going away in the richest country on the planet. It’s other world horrendous. We are the shit hole of which dump speaks.

2. Earlier today he said "they" will have it ready by the end of the month...

...or, "in a very short period of time".

4. Right after the virus disappears like a miracle.

5. Frankly, I think this is it. COVID has ripped away every shred of the stories we told ourselves...

...so that we could sleep at night. Linking health care access to specific jobs, and making it a for-profit enterprise, is now nakedly the scam it has always been. Naked and ugly beyond words. 20,000,000 people laid off, furloughed, fired all at once — and however many family members they had dependent on their jobs for medical care would make it what? 80,000,000?

In all the heroism of doctors and nurses in hospitals trying to save lives, there was just one story I saw and one comment made that put the lie to overarching story of our country: (1) medical personnel being laid off by the agencies they work for, and (2) someone who lived who was presented with a bill over a million dollars. Didn’t see these two items? I almost missed them when I blinked.

I think there are going to be any number of hospitals that go bankrupt and close their doors before this is over. But Blue Cross and the rest won’t be hurt.

So, the “medical plan” that Trump and McConnell promised? The current situation may be it.

6. I have great insurance or so I thought until my husband suffered a massive stroke 3 years ago.

21 days in the hospital. We ended up with a 270,000 medical bill. WITH my so called great insurance out of network costs. People who think their insurance is so awesome have never suffered a catastrophic health crisis. We have rationalized all of the things corporate America was doing as necessary or whatever. I certainly hope we can rid ourselves of trump. I hope I am alive to see it.
