Of course replacing Obamacare could be fast, quick and easy. Just throw it and Medicaid out and replace them both by extending Medicare to everyone. A single payer payroll deduction which corporations who now have healthcare plans for employees, would pay that payroll deduction for them. Making it free to the vast majority of Americans at half the price and with far better results including everyon.
Instead we have Republicans claiming single payer is socialism, communism and unAmerican while Donald Trump claims repealing Obamacare to put completely back in the hands of private for profit insurance providers, pharmaceuticals and Wall street it will be immediate, fast, quick and easy.
“Obamacare is going to be repealed and replaced. We’re going to have a strong country again and Obamacare has to go. We can’t afford it, it’s no good. You’re going to end up with great health care for a fraction of the price and that’s gonna take place immediately after we go in. Okay? Immediately. Fast. Quick.” Donald Trump February 2016
“When we win on November 8th and elect a Republican congress, we will be able to immediately repeal and replace Obamacare. Have to do it. I will ask Congress to convene a special session so we can repeal and replace, and it will be such an honor for me, for you, and for everybody in this country because Obamacare has to be replaced and we will do it and we will do it very, very quickly.” Donald Trump October 2016.
“I have to tell you, it’s an unbelievably complex subject. Nobody knew that healthcare could be so complicated.” Donald Trump February 2017.
Wow. NOBODY KNEW! Well Mad King Don, everyone knew but you. And you didn’t know because you don’t want to know anything other than what YOU HEAR on Fox News, talk radio, INFOwars and what Steve Bannon tells you to know.
