SPEAKERS CORNER (Health Care)

[etucker1959]

This week I heard President Trump say, "Republicans & Dems need to come together and come up with some terrific Health Care for the American people." Whatever happened to Obama Care is a disaster and needs to be repealed and replaced. (Republican talking point for 8 years) Does he know something I don't know?? "YET!!" Oh crap I didn't get my Kaiser permanente Bill yet for Jan. I use Covered California to buy my Health Insurance. (ObamaCare) I'm in a panic thinking they didn't automatic renew my Health Insurance for 2018. I get on the phone to Covered CA and did find out they renewed my Insurance with Kaiser. Ok, but my January payment is due in a couple of day's and I haven't received it yet and need to pay it soon, otherwise I might get dropped. So I'm planning on driving down there to pay it, but instead my new Bill arrives in the mail today. I know they must have been waiting to see what those "no good Republicans" were going to do with their Tax reform and Health Care law.

Well in opening up my new Bill, "I got my answer!!!" A 30% increase in my Health Insurance and no additional help in the way of a subside from the Feds. That translates to an increase of $180 a month. Or ($2,160 increase for the year) No wonder Trump wants Republicans and Dems to work together on Health Care. Everyone who uses Obama Care will see a substantial increase in their out of pocket expenses for Health Insurance this year. Last year it went up $20 a month or $240 for the year. Big difference with Trump and the Republicans in charge.

Even the big lying sack of shite that Trump is, "can't blame Hillary or Obama for this one!!" The worst part for him is, "he knows it!!" In the Virginia election that they just had, the biggest single issue most voter were most concerned about was their Health Care. This doesn't bode well for Republicans in 2018 and beyond. They may try to do something about Health Care this year to help stabilize the market. But I wouldn't hold my breath on it!!!

I'll leave this Thread from a quote from Kellyane Conway. People will vote for the person or party that "Affects them but not what offends them!!!" Rising Health Care costs does effect peoples lives and now Trump and the Republicans are the ones in charge!!! So they will be the ones getting the blame for rising Health Care costs and not crooked Hillary. Even though Trump would love to find a way to spin it that way!!!
