Trump unlikely to avoid blame for health care loss

the "Buck" certainly ends with President Trump claiming the current leadership would make a great plan, better than anything anywhere else. I think he over estimated the brains in Washington, including his own.

The USA has had national debt ever since 1939 and nobody seems interested in solving that huge problem. $18.6 Trillion in US debt now. Growing by about $400 BILLION a year. Seems that would make a nice start to universal health care, but I'm stupid that way. I expect to pay for things as I get them. BTW, the annual debt in 2016 was $552B under the last President. It was over $1 TRILLION/yr a few years

The national debt was under $7 Trillion when G.W. Bush became President, BTW. Not a proud time for any living American leaving such huge debt to our children. It took 63 yrs to get there and less than 16 yrs to raise it 2.65x.

What exactly is 'annual debt'? I've never heard this term. I've heard of debt, and I've heard of deficit. Never heard of annual debt.

Johnny Lemire hasn’t been listening to Trump for the last 70 years. He WILL avoid blame. He ALWAYS avoids blame. He is NEVER the reason one of his businesses goes belly up. NEVER. It is ALWAYS someone else’s fault. He ALWAYS takes the credit (and the profits), however, for anything successful. Even if it didn’t happen.

Like the 7,000 new Coal Mining Jobs that he took credit for creating, although most of those were probably not coal, not mining, and possibly not new. (maybe in oil & gas; maybe in ‘support’ positions i.e. secretaries).

He also took credit for the 50,000 new coal miners added in the last quarter. Also not true. Those jobs were added Before the Orange One was president. When the “Kenyan Moslem” was president, i.e. last year.

So Johnny better think this piece over again and watch as the Orange Head again blames everyone else for his failures.

He always avoids taking responsibility. He has no say in avoiding blame - people will blame him whether he likes it or not.

trump isn't avoiding blame, there is no blame for him to avoid. the Republicans are the incompetents in this one. Trump merely has to wait them out because trump already killed obummercare. he used the powers in obamacre to stop funding insurance, stop the IRS from collecting on the mandate and eased all of the rules involved. obamacre itself is collapsing on it's own because it was never more than a massive Democrat financial scam. when it collapses all that will happen is people who lost insurance under obamacare will regain that insurance offsetting others who will lose, again with the net result of 10% of population didn't have insurance before obamacare, 10% still don't have it under obamacate and 10% still won't have it after obamacare. Republicans look like morons because they are not following through their harping hmfir 8 years but the, reason they are, failing is, they want to get a piece of the obsmacare scam for themselves and cantvagree on how, to screw everyone. trump again holds the, cards as their scamming is, so obvious, he just needs to wait them out. there is no blame for trump to avoid, it isn't him.

True. Basically 4 Senators, Murkowsky, Capito, Portman, and Collins really do want socialism. All but Collins previously voted to repeal but now care more about reelection - unlike the numerous Dems who went down to defeat after voting for Obamacare. Republicans are going to get wiped out for failing to keep their promises anyway - should have at least stuck to their convictions.

Obamacare is hardly socialism. But ignoring that falsehood, the four senators not being willing to vote for the Republican failure they tried to put forward doesn't indicate that they love Obamacare, only that they thought the Republican plan was worse. The very fact that three of them previously voted to repeal shows they were interested in change, but the change the Republican party was going for wasn't the right way to go.

Voting in the direction that their constituents who elected them, wanted them to vote. How dare they put the people before party! No true Republican would ever do that!

Strangerland, right wing Americans always think that anything that helps people without said people having to sell a kidney is socialism. They believe that people should pay for everything, whatever the cost, regardless of whether they can actually afford it.

From what I can tell, the Affordable Healthcare Act was basically making everyone take out medical insurance so that if they need hospital care the insurance pays for it... like car insurance, yes?

It's not really that different from here in the UK where we all pay a National Insurance Tax direct from our wages, allowing us free health care... at least that's the impression I get.

If I have read it correctly... what exactly is the problem with it?

As usual -- all talk, no action.

None of this is surprising after we found out that Trump somehow got elected. This guy is all talk and still can't work out why he can't do whatever he wants. I so hope he does try to pardon his team or family or himself or all three. The fact that he is supposedly even looking into this as an option is amazing. This idiot is getting bogged down deeper and deeper, day by day.
