He hits his infrastructure bill. One Trillion Dollars! So Doctor Evil. Then he moved one.
“I call on our people to repeal and replace Obamacare!” So much for being hard to do. It’ll all be better, cheaper, faster, without inconveniencing anyone. Good luck there. But it’s not like he’ll be inconvenienced. “Must protect all Americans,” is the applause line. “Save Americans from this imploding Obamacare disaster.”
He promises preexisting conditions will be covered. Doesn’t mention whether that’s in special pools. Wants to push the details to the states. (I’m smelling block grants, then death by underfunding. It’s kind of a burnt oil thing.) And we have to protect our poor, poor doctors who aren’t making enough money. And bring down the costs of drugs. Allow people to buy drugs and medical plans across state lines. Bring bring costs way down, with better care. Somehow.
Paid family leave. Child care. Women’s health. Clean Air; clean water. Rebuild our infrastructure. Trump swears we’ll have it all. Didn’t bring up taxes again, but I’m sure he’ll talk about how greatly balanced it will be.
“Today is rare disease day.” Really? WTF?!? Trump trots out Megan as his poster child. No mention of how killing ACA will help her. The problem is that the FDA is blocking too many drugs. Too much regulation. Without that horrible regulation, our children will grow up with a nation of miracles.
Shifts to education, touting school choice. Doesn’t talk about the “If you can pay for it,” part.
