Giant elephant in the room. GOP and the trump crazies don't give two shits about

ACA enrollees.

They got caught up in their own bullshit rhetoric and now they are in a giant bind.

They said, "Repeal Obamacare" which translates to "Don't help anyone less fortunate"

Now, they are in a giant bind. They have to act like they care. But, their supporters truly
just want it scrapped. Who cares if someone less fortunate than I can't see a doctor.

It is hideously illogical.

And the logistics of changing to something better (actually hope they can) are astounding (they never mention). Will everyone have to re-apply? Will they use the same website? Will there be a gap coverage. Why would the insurance companies make it cheaper and better now? what's the incentive. Unless they add some kind of tax abatement perks?

We need to be so viligent and so vocal on this - and don't allow them to win the PR war.

Speaking of PR war ! We need some savvy PR immediately. Hope the next DNC chair sees that

Money and power.

On a side note, I poured you a drink. It's here in Indiana waiting for you. Of course, if you live too far away there's this handsome guy just dying of thirst......

is airing commercials on ACA. I'd love for them to throw meds from Canada and regulate prices here in America.

Trump. They found a clip where he said he would never get rid of/change SS - and thanked him that. then asked Congress to step up. It's brilliant - playing on the king's ego and holding him to his words.

Everyone should follow this model ! Everyone can surely find where he said something we like. Hold him to it, constantly !
