WH on GOP healthcare-bill: "Please don't call it Trumpcare."

https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2017/7/12/1680114/-GOP-health-care-plan-is-so-bad-a-White-House-spokesperson-says-they-don-t-want-it-called-Trumpcare

The White House is still refusing to do on-air press briefings with the White House Press Corp., apparently afraid to be captured on video while offering a barrage of bullshit, deflections and endless Saturday Night Live material. During a question about Trumpcare, spokesperson Sarah Huckabee Sanders told the gathered press they don’t want it to be called Trumpcare.




.@SHSanders45 again says they're not looking for health care to be known as Trumpcare. Sad.




-------------

Well, since Fox News and the GOP coined the term "Obamacare", it's entirely fair if we get to coin the term "Trumpcare".

New #Trumpcare is even worse. Insurers can trick you to get a plan that doesn't cover you if you get sick. That's not insurance. It's fraud.

Did you know Medicaid pays for half of all births in the U.S.? #Trumpcare's Medicaid cuts will put women’s lives at risk.

As Senate GOP starts a new push on #TrumpCare, let's not forget exactly what this bill means for our country.

Why should we call Trumpcare Trumpcare if Donny Dum Dum doesn't want us to call Trumpcare Trumpcare, then we shouldn't call Trumpcare Trumpcare. It is, after all, Trumpcare....

then just veto it. 45 does little or nothing to promote or understand the bill, so he should just veto it.

Ordinarily, Lord Littlehands wants his name plastered all over everything everywhere. Did we finally find something so distasteful, so odious, that he doesn't want to slap his name on it? Has Sean Hannity been notified?

It's not really Trump's handiwork. The primary forensics says McConnell and Ryan have their fingerprints all over it.
