  1. So, whatever happened to that “big beautiful healthcare replacement” that t’rump promised America in 2017? 🤔
    Man, t’rump’s To-Do list for Jared must be a mile long at this point! 😆😅

    1. @Randy Smith Ah yes, the one from July 2017. 🤔 Like I said, t’rump failed and then gave up. Thanks for clarifying my point for me! 😆😅

    2. @Randy Smith Oh and one more thing….do you ever get tired of blaming others for t’rump’s failure to get anything done? Because t’rump supporters have gotten real good at that in the 3 years he’s failed to do anything! Art of the Deal? More like Art of the Fail! 😅

  2. How about dental and vision standard insurance…On disability and guess what I get from Trump..A big buetiful kiss

    1. WELL TOM, I’M ON DISABILITY, AND AFTER PAYING INTO SOCIAL SECURITY FOR 48 YEARS MY DENTAL AND VISION PERKS ARE JUST GREAT..

    1. John Doe,
      Obama did. Very likely because at the time he believed that would be the case. We’re talking about the man who actually _gave_ us the ACA, which allowed over 20 million Americans to get affordable health care. I’m sure they’d rather have to change doctors than not have any health insurance at all.
      Trump, on the other hand, knows perfectly well that pre-existing conditions will not be covered by any Republican replacement of ACA. That’s why Republicans built their plan in secret, not allowing any Democrats to participate, and then released that huge document only about 12 hours before the floor vote on it. Talk about consciousness of guilt!

    2. What’s the point of keeping your doctor if you can’t afford it ? Wharr the point of keeping your doctor if your “pre-existing conditions” makes it impossible to take care of your illness ??

    3. 💥💥Oooh, My Goodnessss, It is past time for Hillary Clinton to go to jail!! The Corrupt Democrats and Republicans are doomed under Trump’s presidency!! The Democrat and Republican Swamp-Rats, Swamp CockRoaches are jumping ship!! No more crooked government paid to play!! It is time to go back to the United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights!! ***President Donald Trump the Great White Hope of America!!***

    4. John Doe, I’m tired of this statement to make a stupid point, did your life insurance stay the same, did your house payment stay the same, did your tuition stay the same , did your coverage switch doctors but stayed the same, did your credit card payment stay the same, did your airline ticket stay the same, when you closed on your house did all agreements stay the same?????????????????????????????????

  3. Only Congress can change or protect your health care options Vote for the Senator and Representative who will do that according to your wishes.. Vote for the president who will not veto those improvements in health care options.

  4. Americans ..just remember ..ANYTHING that comes from trump and his GOP and supporters are LIES, DISTORTIONS AND DISGRACEFUL .
    Trump wants to gut every program that benefits and enruching himself and his criminal FAMILY . Trump will lose all ..

    1. Gutting every program actually takes money out of the hands of the government. Think about it for a moment. A government with no programs can’t take money from people.

      You have this all backwards.
