I guess the art of the deal is more marketing than actual deal making. POTUSDJT can't even cut a deal with "his own party".
Most business people think he is a joke. He is a marketer and real estate investor. Marketing helps you get elected, but he is a one trick pony when it comes to business. In real estate you get to pick your and choose who you negotiate with. His skills only work on the less sophisticated.
Unfortunately in the international diplomacy arena, Trump is one of the least sophisticated.
Schumer is full of shit. He knows it, but he also knows there are too many people out there, like Goosey, who are SO STUPID they believe anything/everything they are spoon fed by the libtards and CNN.
Fact: obummercare is EXACTLY as its been. The Repubs have NOT changed a thing. No, Chuckie-boy, you and democraps OWN this broken system.
It is amazing you have morons out there who will hear:
1. the Repubs have failed to pass any legislation re: obummercare, see the 'craps celebrate the FACT obummercare has not been changed.
2. see jerks like Schumer claim the Repubs have "broken it"
yet! not be able to connect the two opposing concepts.
And we wonder why this great nation is in deep doo-doo.....
Interesting that Republicans have had all this time to come up with a replacement option, yet nada.
What are the numbers? How many people have gained health insurance who didn't have it before? How many were priced out of the market?
Be careful with what number you get.. There are many people out there who gained health insurance who didn't have it before because they were FORCED to get it. They didn't want it. When you hear people state that millions will lose insurance.. what they don't tell you is how many who are losing it did not want it to start with.
They are also including all medicaid recipients in states that accepted medicaid expansion. That was part of the deal our Governor made with Obama to help him get elected. Those people were fully covered before Obamacare. Then a group of them were discriminated against due to income levels too high for medicaid, but to low for an Obamacare subsidy. The only way they could get coverage was the state accepting the expansion. Now they get free coverage just like they did before Obamacare. FWIW, they also got free coverage before the medicaid expansion in all states with a charity hospital system. As of now, that coverage is much better than most Americans can afford.
So, you can't get a straight answer to any of this. Par for the course.
