Just a reminder as to who to blame for the skyrocketing healthcare costs that are about to hit the American people.

Courtesy of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities:  

Stopping cost-sharing reduction (CSR) payments to insurers under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), as President Trump has repeatedly threatened, would drive up federal marketplace subsidy costs, raise premiums, cause more insurers to withdraw from the marketplaces, and increase the number of uninsured next year, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) found today. Key findings include: 

Stopping CSR payments would raise federal budget deficits by $6 billion in 2018 and $194 billion over the next ten years, relative to current law, due to increased costs for the ACA’s premium tax credits for low- and moderate-income people to offset their rising premiums (see below). 

Marketplace premiums for “silver-level” plans would rise by 20 percent, on average, in 2018. Premiums for such plans would be 25 percent higher in 2020 and thereafter, relative to current law. 

Marketplace insurers in some states would withdraw from or not enter the marketplaces in 2018. As a result, the share of the nation’s population living in areas with no marketplace insurers would rise to 5 percent in 2018, up from less than 0.5 percent under current law. 

The number of uninsured would rise by 1 million in 2018, relative to current law.

Trumpcare is about to crap all over the idiots that were moronic enough to vote for the tangerine flavored toddler.

I wonder if even THAT will finally wake them up to what they have helped to create?

    Wait until the folks that voted for him see increases in their premiums. Things are going to turn against him big time throughout the country.

      "“They are like the religious members of the King’s Court during the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance who sought power and worldly approval by flattering the king rather than speaking truth to power,” Fea said in an email."“If evangelicals were not courtiers of Trump, they would call him out, at least now and then, on his malicious comments and actions, on his pathological lies, on his dehumanizing tactics, and on his indifference to objective truth,”"

      Trump will blame shift the consequences of him canceling the CSR onto Obama and the ACA that it imploded after Trump set fire to it.

      Also most of us will also have our taxes increase because of Trump's plan for reforming tax structure. Between the two Trump claims he will make us wealthy. In reality we will have less income. WTF

    4. They'll be thrilled they don't have to pay for insurance any more.

      Then when they have an accident or get cancer, they'll all crawl out of Facebook to boo hoo on a GoFundMe page and expect others to donate to their health care costs.

      I'd be more willing to donate $1 to their funeral costs.

  5. Now that he's destroyed the ACA, he's turning his sights to the Iran Nuclear deal. Going to shit that into oblivion.

    On NPR someone was being interviewed and was asked if Trump was fulfilling campaign promises or was just seeking to obliterate Obama's key legacy. The guy sidestepped but I think we all know what is going on here.

    Obama was black.

    Obama made fun of him in public.

    Obama was (and still is) more "popular" that he is.

    But mostly, Obama is black. Because we all know how racist Trump is.

    He is cruel. He is vindictive. Sociopath doesn't cover it. Malignant Narcissist doesn't cover it.

    Trump is so very damaged and he is going to destroy this country if he stays in power much longer.

    Why can't the Republicans realize that he is going to damage them irreparably if they don't do something?

    I don't think we can wait for Mueller. He needs to be removed now. Then after the fact, Mueller can release his findings and thus justify and support the removal.

    Let the Cabinet invoke the 25th. Let Ryan and McConnell impeach him. Let one of his crazy Deplorables exercise his second amendment shit for brains. Let him just have a fucking heart attack.

    I really don't care just as long as he's gone and gone fast.

      He will put party above Trump and he knows better than anyone what Trump is doing to the Republican party.

      At this point the best thing to happen to the Republican Party is for Trump to be removed from office.

      So you bet if Mueller asks the right questions Priebus will answer truthfully.

    PRESIDENT TRUMP DOESN’T KNOW HE’S THE PRESIDENT OF THE U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS

    BY JOHN HALTIWANGER ON 10/13/17 AT 11:45 AM

    Is President Donald Trump aware residents of the U.S. Virgin Islands are, in fact, Americans? It's unclear.

    In a speech Friday, Trump said he'd recently "met with the president of the Virgin Islands" to discuss the recent hurricanes that have devastated Texas, Florida, Puerto Rico and the island.

    But Trump could not have spoken to the "president of the Virgin Islands" because, of course, he is the president of the U.S. Virgin Islands, whose residents are U.S. citizens.

    " more disturbing are the parallels drawn between President Trump’s mental state and that of the Las Vegas gunman."
    “He left no clues. Nothing is known about why he is acting in such an insane way against his fellow American citizens,” Truscott wrote. “Aided and abetted by a lax Congress and the voters of the states that put him in office, he is able to carry off his crazed, deadly rampage with impunity.”

    "“The behavior of Nixon during his bizarre trip to the Lincoln Memorial leaked only because a few students who were there talked to reporters." “With Nixon, the unraveling was happening behind closed doors. We knew — the media knew, the Congress knew, members of his own party knew — he was crazy as a loon and guilty as hell, but we didn’t learn the full extent of it until much, much later. But when we caught a glimpse of the man as he really was on the tapes, it was shocking, even terrifying,”
    "“With Trump, the unraveling is happening right out in the open, every single day, several times a day,”
    “We’ve seen the damage one well-armed madman can do from a hotel room in Las Vegas. We really don’t need to see what an even better armed madman can do from the ‘adult day care center’ in the White House, do we?”"
