Angry About Trump’s Obamacare Repeal? Hillary Said Bernie’s Single Payer Would ‘Never’ Happen
The Huffington Post ^ | March 16, 2017 | H. A. Goodman, Contributor

My latest Counter Propa article explains why Democrats are blaming the wrong person for Trump’s attempt at repealing the Affordable Care Act.

I’ve been told I speak too often about Hillary Clinton.

Let it go, they say.

It’s over, she lost.

Bernie endorsed Clinton.

Let’s unite and defeat Trump.

There’s only one problem.

When people like Claire McCaskill label Bernie Sanders as “too liberal” and “extreme” to be president, don’t complain when a Republican who’s too conservative and extreme becomes president.

The only reason Democrats are obsessed with Russian hacking (NSA has only “moderate confidence” in the narrative, by the way) is because Clinton lost to Trump.

Democrats lost because they failed to push for bold answers to grandiose questions. Trump offered ideas and gave answers; something centrist Democrats never viewed as pragmatic. Trump won the election.

Trump’s attempt to repeal the ACA is a direct result of Democratic hubris.

Liberals did their best to destroy a truly progressive, grass roots movement. In the process, these liberals lost to Trump, after everyone in the media and politics assured voters Clinton had already won the election. Now the Affordable Care Act is being slowly dismantled by a Republican alternative that’s the antithesis of Bernie’s plan.

America could have been debating the merits of single payer healthcare had Democrats not cheated Bernie Sanders in 2016. Instead of reaching for the lofty goal of insuring all Americans under Bernie’s Medicare for All plan, Clinton and others viewed single payer to be unrealistic. Because of this lack of vision, and because the DNC tilted the scales in favor of Hillary Clinton, we now have Trump’s Obamacare repeal.

If Democrats knew people would die from Obamacare repeal, why did they cheat Bernie Sanders?

Does this make the DNC complicit in murder?(continued)

After 7 years of talking about repealing 0bamacare, you would think that the republicans would have had an actual plan to replace it with. Personally, I don’t think the republicans want to replace 0bamacare, they just want their hands on the levers of power, control and money.

Their total lack of a plan, and the withdrawing of the cobbled together RyanCare essentially proves that.

Look Obamacare should of never been passed in the first place.

And it should of been shot down in the Supreme Court except they blackmailed Roberts to saving it

So the plan is simple.. unpass it...kill it... make it as it as if it never was... repeal it and be done

There’s a difference between Bernie’s single-payer and Hillary’s single-payer?

Reading that some healthcare excise taxes delayed by Obama will kick in soon. Delayed because Dems wanted to keep the union vote (strong union insurance plans).

One big reason Trump won was breaking the “blue wall”, the Reagan-Democrat type union people and working class. The Washington Times saw that in May of 2016:

>>Donald Trump has said he has “tremendous support within unions,” and, well, there’s reason to believe he does.
Mr. Trump’s path to the White House depends on attracting white-working class voters within the Rust Belt, who have either traditionally aligned themselves with Democrats or haven’t voted in the general election since Ronald Reagan.
In March [2016], Working America, the nonunion affiliate of the AFL-CIO labor federation, did internal canvassing in blue-collar areas of Pittsburgh and Cleveland and found there was a lot of support for Mr. Trump, The Huffington Post reported.

They had a plan in 2015 the House and Senate both approved. Why not use that/ I don’t think Ryan and McConnell are really behind Pres. Trump. They are giving lip service but otherwise trying to make sure he is not successful. I think the establishment from both parties are biding their time until they are once again in power.

Ryan tried to slip his 3 phased plan through but his own Republican House saw through him. Ryan (and other Republican Good Ole Boys) have no intention of passing phase III because it allows us to purchase insurance across state lines which would create competition among insurance companies and bring down the cost which the insurance companies do not want. Ryan's boys know this and they also know if they allow it to happen they will see the insurance lobby's contributions to their re-election campaigns dry up. Once again we the people suffer because the good ole boys are looking out for themselves and their re-election. Trump suffers and may become a one term president because he told us he would repeal and replace O’bamacare and Ryan and his boys who were “never Trump(ers)” from the start could care less.

“Democrats knew people would die from Obamacare repeal”

It’s hard to fathom that people like this both exist and have a voice that is taken seriously.

Totally. Unhinged.

People have died BECAUSE of Obamacare. The death panels — the ones Palin warned of and that were mocked by lying liberals — are REAL.

And that’s not to mention the thousands of babies whose murders are paid for by citizens who are forced to supplement abortionists to kill them.

But repealing Obamacare will make people die? If it does, it will be fewer and different people than are dying NOW because of Obamacare. And that’s progress.

Well, what do you know—the HuffPost can contain a true statement.

Many of them counted dearly on Hillary winning so they could pretend to be on our side and actually accomplish nothing.

Selling Insurance across State Line is best solution, and those who don’t vote for it are traitors to Conservatives and Republican Party...simply bought and paid for Democrats in sheep clothing, RINO’s! Ryan needs to be booted out, soon!
