Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsIf you were to create a short message to go viral about Republicans' DonTcare, what would it say?
What would be the most important bullet point you'd want to see?
Let's make up a succinct summary that educates and scares the shit out of the ignorant folks who voted against their own interests.
Mine:
Think your Medicare is safe? Think again. The Republicans' DonTcare brings back the donut hole, and it's going to cost you thousands every year.
Think your ACA coverage is safe? Think again. The ACA IS Obamacare. And you're going to lose it under the Republicans' DonTcare.

When Trump supporters start seeing their family elders out on the streets or moving in with them (because of the draconian cuts to Medicaid), Dems should be there to mop 'em up.
I ain't holding my breath and I would rather not have seniors suffering so that Dems can score gains.

My fear is that Fox News et al will somehow frame this as resulting from Obamacare, and it would have been much worse if the Republicans hadn't come along and fixed it. I think we need to tell them its coming so we can say "We told you" when it does.

(68,551 posts)pushing grandma off the cliff...but not just older Americans...a long line of Americans of all age including kids...they want to cap Medicaid which means they won't pay for expensive lifesaving treatment for people including babies, children, young adults, middle aged adult and the old...That plans clearly demonstrates GOP greed and hatred of average people.

(22,791 posts)Lose the "donut hole" bullet because people stupid enough to vote for Trump because they hate the ACA don't know a donut hole from a hole in the ground.
How about, "Don't be a schmuck. Vote against Obamacare and you'll be plumb out of luck, ya dumb fuck."
Or, "Hell, if you vote against Obamacare, you'll ne'er be well."
No, I'm not very good at it either.
