So I got an email from the White House asking me to fill out a form sharing how Obamacare was terrible for me.
I instead filled out the form and explained that when I lost my job and couldnāt afford COBRA, that the ACA offered me insurance (at less than half the cost of COBRA) I could afford which allowed me to stay on my life saving medications and out of the ER without going broke.
I suppose they could just āassumeā all stories are negative and do a row count and then declare how many people hate the ACA. But still it is a chance to inject pro-ACA stories into their DB of negativity. I chose to use my real contact so that they canāt use a bogus email as a reason to throw my data out. I guess with this admin they might just assume anything positive is a lie. So I donāt know if itās worth it or not.
Here is the form if others would like to post positive stories.

What really boggles me are how the Trumpkins complain āgovernment is too bigā, āthey waste too much moneyā, āAmericans sufferā meanwhile thereās the expectations of massive cuts that will literally cause Americans (and others around the world) to suffer by laying waste to beneficial government programs.
Itās such a narrow minded view ā āgovernmentās too big, so letās cut everything!ā
But I guess the expectation is that the private sector will rush in and fix things. Yeah, Iām not holding my breath. For everybody that thinks how great it will be that America is run like a business but nobody thinks of how the general goal of a business is to benefit those in charge.

We donāt solve problems by simply throwing money at them,
You know how else you donāt solve problems? By taking away money.
I sure hope that the Trump voters are fucking happy.

Next food-borne illness that kills a few dozen people that isnāt caught in time because the USDA hasnāt hired any new inspectors for something like a decade, then cut the funding to hire replacements for retireesā¦ought to do it.

That video has a lobbying fund, a PAC, and his own personal donations in 3/4 corners of the video. The 4th corner (of course) encouraging the viewer to share the message.
How anyone can watch that and see it for anything but a money grab is bonkers to me.

They tried pointing that out during the last Blue Bell Listeria outbreak (during the Obama administration). No change in behavior. Now people are dying from Listeria in cheese. Still no change.

I occasionally check in with Breitbart, which I assume is basically a White House mouth piece. Over there Trumpcare is being called Ryancare and they just released an audio tape of Ryan from the days of campaign saying he wonāt campaign for Trump or cover for his Access Hollywood remarks. So, it seems the tactic is to tank the healthcare reform and blame it on Ryan.

āAccording to the C.B.O. report, the bill would make health insurance so unaffordable for many older Americans that they would simply leave the market and join the ranks of the uninsured. The remaining pool of people would be comparatively younger and healthier and, thus, less expensive to cover.ā

I read a story yesterday about how the Trump voters that are happy with him donāt have a clue what heās actually doing. They donāt watch the news or read newspapers or internet news sites, except Breitbart/Drudge. Yet they think they are all caught up on whatās happening.
