Trump signs Trumpcare Exec Order;Brags that he is ending Obamacare


I don't think we talk enough about what a complete idiot Donald Trump is.

There's lots of focus these days on his "moods," his temper, his insanity. His doddering old man on the edge-ness. Hell, he almost forgot to sign the damn thing.

Obamacare is gone!

He is "allowing" insurance companies to sell "mini plans" of three to six months of coverage for those who are between jobs.

Dude, that's what COBRA is. And COBRA is notoriously expensive. Do you want to know why? Of course you don't! You are on purpose ignorant about why things ARE in health insurance.

But for people who can read paragraphs that don't have their picture on them, I will explain: COBRA is expensive because it has no employer contribution, and no government subsidy attached to it. And because insurance companies are taking the entire risk for your health while you are unemployed (and very many times more likely to abuse alcohol and engage in other self-damaging behaviors) it costs you. No matter how young and healthy you are, it costs you.

No more CHIP.
FatBastard must be thrilled.
Glad another moron, Kelly thinks he is "thoughtful".
Wonder if he will say that if the nukes go flying.
