When bioethicist and oncologist Ezekiel Emanuel met with President Donald Trump at the White House on Monday, the session revealed publicly what has been happening privately for months: A trusted ally of former President Barack Obama and chief architect of the Affordable Care Act is trying to help steer how Republicans take it apart.

Trump’s third in-person meeting with the lying-to-the-public architect of Obamacare since November.

Obamacare 2.0 isn’t just some accident that Ryan fooled Trump on.

How deluded are you? Trump is pushing hard for a version of Obamacare that just cements it in further.

He is doing nothing to get our healthcare system out of the inevitable death spiral that was sped into motion with Obamacare 1.0.

The claim that reconciliation is causing them to implement a new version of Obamacare that also covers illegal immigrants is also a flat-out lie, but Trump and his staff are all pushing the reconciliation lie on us.

I trust Trump so much on health care that I have arranged my affairs in such a way that It really doesn’t matter to me whether they repeal Obamacare or make it ten times worse. In other words, I don’t trust him at all. And it’s nothing against Trump, mind you ... I don’t trust any @sshole in Washington, period.

That is probably wise—as Trump has surely shown himself to be totally unreliable on his first real piece of legislation.

Lol.. who didn’t see this coming? Amnesty, next up.


LOL??? What the h*ll is so funny?

Oh, and what exactly did you see coming?

Those of us who supported him certainly did not see him bringing in Zeke E. and Jamie G. But “LOL” you did?

Or perhaps you did not vote for him and are feeling very smug now.

Trump needs to drop Zeke like a bad habit. Let’s not forget, Zeke thinks Trump and everyone else should simply die at age 75.

Wouldn’t surprise me if Gorelick’s advice to Ivanka on the ethics of operating as a WH employee, minus the formalities, is part of a set up for impeachment on family/business/government entanglements if they can take back the House (a decent chance) in 2018.

My hope is that if the Freedom Caucus caves in to the always devious Paul Ryan AND...

if a bill happens to pass the house AND...

if Rand Paul can't defeat it in the Senate THAT...

President Trump will stand tall and veto it saying that "This is not what America voted for!"

Maybe then Obamacare will be forced to collapse on it's own and the inability of congress to represent the people will cause us to finally have the government forced out of the game and the free market will take it's natural course and solve the problem of serving consumers with competitively affordable products that people want.
