Wait, your mom is still alive?
You’ve been claiming Mexicans killed her by forcing her to take drugs (When in reality she was a nurse that stole controlled substances)
Man, fuck this guy.
He meant his other mom.

We’re still waiting on Trumps plan right? Probably too difficult for him to think about the needs of others.
He’ll release it in two more weeks *[TM]
Right after his tax returns
And his medical record.
And his evidence that Obama was born in Kenya.
Look there’s a concept of a plan alright!?
It’s the same “2 weeks” Elon has been using for “fULL sELf dRiviNg” since 2016.
We’re waiting for even a concept of a plan.
He’s going to have one of Elon’s autonomous cars deliver it. Should arrive any year now.
It’ll be on the first Starship from Mars.
Vance’s mother was able to buy private insurance through the Affordable Care Act’s insurance marketplace, run by Ohio, after overcoming substance abuse, becoming financially stable, and earning too much to stay on Medicaid.
She bought healthcare from Obama? 😮
The interesting thing is that I’m not sure anybody gives a shit that his mom got help through the ACA. The story here is that he can’t show any level of gratitude for the thing that has helped his own mother because he’s such a partisan piece of shit. The ACA sucks, but healthcare in this country was a complete dumpster fire before it passed, and it will return to being a complete dumpster fire if it’s repealed without a more expansive replacement in place.
This wouldn’t be a story if Medicaid didn’t have means testing attached which is how she lost eligibility. This wouldn’t be a story if JD would show thanks for the healthcare plan modeled after what a Republican governor put together, but that would be perceived as disloyalty to his toddler-brained master. This wouldn’t be a story if there were universal healthcare as there should be. He’s between a rock and a hard place because he’s too spineless to swallow his pride and show humanity even regarding the health of his own mom. Fucking pathetic.
ACA only sucked cause Republicans blocked every attempt to address the faults and issues that only became apparent after rolling it out.
Agreed. It was a half measure. Some action was desperately needed, and Republicans made sure that exactly some action was taken. They whine about the world passing us by while ensuring that we’re unable to catch up.
It wasnt a half measure.
Its just, when you roll out a revolutionary change in the way things are done, like the ACA was, there are going to be issues that pop up after rollout that no one could predict.
Which is why you need follow up legislation to address those unpredictable holes/cracks/issues.
and unfortunately the only way thats gonna happen is with a supermajority of democrats who have the cajones to just ram the shit through without playing games and without trying to get the republicans involved, because the republicans will stop at nothing to prevent anything they see as a “win” for democrats, no matter how much misery and suffering it causes the American people. They’ll watch their own mothers suffocate to death from preventable disease rather than let the dems have a “win”.
and to top off the absolute miserable bastardry, they’ll then run campaign ads for the next 12 months talking about how democrats are mother-smotherers

Do even Dems talk about further improvements or tiptoeing any closer to single payer these days? It has been seeming to me the insurance lobby has things sewn up pretty tight.
Using your own mother as a false political point is disgusting.
At least he didn’t claim Haitians ate his mom.
Doesn’t even crack the top 100 of the disgusting shit Republican politicans have done.
Who knew healthcare could be so complicated?
I swore he had a comprehensive plan in 2016. Where did that go?
it’s ridiculous how much we jerk off to being the greatest country in the world ever but we can’t even have this basic quality of life feature that so many other countries have made work. fucking israel has universal healthcare! what a pathetic empire
It’s also ridiculous how much we jerk off to being the greatest country in the world but a man cannot admit to making sweet love to a couch.
That… was oddly specific - and hillarious.
As someone who grew up outside the US, I can tell you that every developed country in the world casts itself as the greatest country on earth. Now, all of those countries, except the US, have most of the basics down, so there’s that.
every developed country in the world casts itself as the greatest country on earth
Not Germany.
For once.
And for the time being.
Germans are complainers by nature. But when you look at what they get up to when they think they’re better than everyone else, it’s probably better that way.
Kinda hard ti claim to be the greatest when youre stilling digging up bombs from when everyone else disagreed.
I have lived in 5 countries and the USA is the only one that claims this we’re the greatest bullshit all the time.
Every country loves itself, but the USA is psychotic about it
Hey, thats all the more reason for us not to have it.
We’re America, god damnit. American Exceptionalism demands we pave a different path. A rugged path. Like the men of the wild west! We cant use the same idea everyone else has, thats just filthy socio-communism!

A path directly toward the cliff edge and then straight off of it into the ravine below!
Don’t worry, you’ll be fine as long as you don’t look down!
Thelma and Louise is the Great American Movie.

You’re kidding, but the arguments I have heard against better healthcare in this country boil down to pretty much this.
What’s the Thai flag doing in the background?
We all know under Trumps concepts of a plan she would get super extra special care. In other words she would be dumped on skid row and bankrupt.
I’ll be damned if my tax dollars are going to fly her to LA under that plan.
Skid row generic.
Damn, Trump concept care doesn’t even provide for name brand?
Yeah. Every city in America will have a skid row. Ever seen the movie “District 9”? They kinda want that for America’s homeless and immigrants
Amazing a right winger taking advantage of the social safety net they spend all their time trying to destroy.
