So the Speaker has to grovel before Mr Trump ... ok

What if sources have been confirmed as reliable and allegations of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia are proven highly likely before 20 Jan ... Trump Tower is cordoned off ... [make up your own ending]

What does anyone here make of Trump's recent statement:

Quote
President-elect Donald Trump said in a weekend interview that he is nearing completion of a plan to replace President Obama’s signature health-care law with the goal of “insurance for everybody,” while also vowing to force drug companies to negotiate directly with the government on prices in Medicare and Medicaid.
Any there any there there? Is it going to be beautiful-fabulous-best ever? Or happen at all?

Insurance for everybody? Every body ---dead or alive? Stay tuned folks, it should be nteresting......


Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.

Insurance for everyone, lower cost, lower deductibles, no pre-existing conditions, coverage until 26 under parents. This is only going to happen in Trump's fantasy land. The economics just don't work unless you seriously screw somebody.

Everything he is claiming says we don't screw the patients, but if you screw doctors there won't be as many doctors. If you screw insurance companies, they get out of the business. Hospitals fold and close their doors. Drug companies are the only one left and you can only screw them so much. Besides they have several pet Congressmen.

Where does the money come from? Massive government debt?

We just have to wait until he gets sworn in. Until then, who knows? He tends to change his mind a bit and when he says something is going to happen ("I know something and you will too, in 2 days, a week, sometime) it never does. Most everybody he has put up for this or that don't agree with much Trump says so, again, who knows? Trump, as far as I can tell, is the mysterious president elect. I fully expect the curtain to be pulled back next week?

He probably doesn't have any idea about the economics or the politics, he just wants more people to say nice things about how great he is.


You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the old model obsolete.

WOW! I had to Google this to try to find if it is fake news. There are many results found.

I have never heard of a president who did this before. I wonder if he'll have every weekend off? I wonder if he gets holidays off too. I guess he'll be our first part-time president.
