Do not, my friends, become addicted to insulin. It will take hold of you and you will resent its absence.
Don't forget "Nobody knew health care would be this hard."
This image is missing some amazing context.
Before Trump took office, Obama was facing an opposition Congress with a majority in the house and senate. They passed something like 80+ bills to fully repeal Obamacare which Obama of course vetoed. They lacked the majority to overturn the veto but did so anyway.
They did this all the leading up to Trump, with many Republican candidates promising that they would repeal Obamacare once the Republicans took over the government.
Guess what?
They did.
But guess how many full repeal bills got passed let alone introduced? A full fat zero.
Because everyone in the Republican party knew that it would absolutely kill chances at keeping the majority. They played political theatre for two years and then pussed out when Trump got into office.
Mexicans paying for the Wall have entered the chat...
TBF, Mexico paying for the wall was a 100% Trump thing.
Getting rid of Obamacare was a Republican strategy long before Trump entered the race in 2016.
Well, since Trump is the voice of the GOP I guess they own it now.
Still waiting on infrastructure week.
Still waiting on the “10% tax cut across the board for the middle class.”
Surely this time will be different!
Still waiting on infrastructure week.
In fairness, we did get that via the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.
Still waiting on the “10% tax cut across the board for the middle class.”
Not explicitly this, but the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act came reasonably close. Honestly one of the crueler things Joe Biden did was to claw back a bunch of the credits and added enrollments to Medicaid that his party's House and Senate majority fought for years earlier.
The Republican Healthcare plan will arrive the same week George R. R. Martin publishes Winds of Winter.
Which coincidentally will be the same week either party does anything to reign in the global attack on every conceivable front by the market capitalists on Earth and humanity.
Translation: No way in hell you're getting healthcare from Dementia DonOLD.
GOP health care plan coming right after Trump wraps up that 2015 audit and discloses his taxes.
No one knows healthcare better than me
It's awesome how the people who worship him all have terrific health because of their awesome healthcare from the orange man. Absolutely none of them are crushed with burdensome medical debt. They're all doing great.
They must be doing something right, because they keep multiplying in numbers and not going away fast enough.
"Five minutes, Turkish."
How about we ignore him?
This is impossible.
Good health care plans go against major donors. We won't see this improve until voting changes.
Many years ago, long before the advent of cellular phones or even really GPS units, when doing road trips in convoy, the local ritual was "Are we there yet?" "Twenty minutes."
Said question, over the course of a few years, migrated from "we're off the highway and approaching our final destination" to as we were departing... But everyone was in on the joke.
I don't think the people waiting another two weeks are in on the joke.
