I needed to see this today; Charlie Chaplin's final speech from The Great Dictator.
"You have the love of humanity in your hearts! You don’t hate! Only the unloved hate - the unloved and the unnatural!"

Trump on if he supports the second strike on a drug boat: "As far as the attack is concerned, I still haven't gotten a lot of information because I rely on Pete. I didn't know about the second strike. I wasn't involved in it."

there was never a serious healthcare proposal by trump.
sending checks, for whatever amount, isn't insurance.
if he expected people to use the money to buy their own policies, then we'd be back to pre-ACA days with all the expense and lack of protections.

trump is nothing more than a shady used car salesman who would happily screw over a customer by filling a car's noisy transmission with sawdust and winding back its odometer, just to make a few bucks on the sale.
the Russia deal was only driven by a little old lady on Sundays to church.

Trump isn’t interested in real, lasting diplomacy where details are negotiated and worked out to give a plan the best chance of success. He just wants quick “deals” with no specifics so he can declare a “win” so he can make it all about himself with a short-term fabrication.

Period.

to get a policy on your own, outside of ACA, would mean being individually rated, so the older you are, the more you'll pay.
you'll go through underwriting and need a medical exam and half over 50 with a pre-existing condition would be denied.
and the cap on profit would be eliminated.

Trump on healthcare: "I've had personal talks with some Democrats about paying large amounts of dollars back to the people. This was my idea ... why don't we just pay this money directly to the people of our country and let them buy their own health insurance?"

it's not very comforting to know that the head of CMS is completely ignorant about health insurance.
a check would allow me to get a quote on an individually rated (wildly expensive) policy that I'd probably be denied for anyway because I have pre-existing conditions.
