Trump Is Making America Uninsured Again – The GOP is heading into the midterms as the party that made health coverage out of reach for millions of Americans.

Well, that is a massive headline. Something about Insurance?

Not a single one of his policies has addressed the systemic problems associated with high medical and drug costs.

Despite his promise to provide a new healthcare plan “two weeks” from now EIGHT YEARS AGO, no such plan has been delivered and Republicans continue to obstruct all Democrat backed healthcare related proposals.

With “Trump RX” for instance, many of these prices were already competitive to begin with, but more important, all Trump has done is helped to increase the costs of other drugs not included in the program.

And now Trump’s tariffs on pharmaceuticals will only compound these problems while the American people pay the costs that get passed down to them.

You see, for Trump, it’s not about addressing the systemic issues, it’s just about ratings, it’s about putting on a performance. It’s about short term gimmicks over long term solutions.

Meanwhile, Trump and Republicans are providing massive tax breaks and incentives for corporations and rich people. Costs that are *not* being offset by slashing funding for healthcare and food assistance, nor by defunding scientific research, public health and environmental initiatives.

It’s no surprise that a majority of Americans disapprove of Trump’s job as president.

Instead of addressing healthcare concerns, Trump and his administration have been more focused on politicizing medical science.

The government has already reversed decades worth of scientific research and advancements in medicine and vaccines.

Health outcomes are going to worsen because Trump has chosen to defund public health agencies and research into deadly infectious diseases, cancer, diabetes, AIDS/HIV, Alzheimer’s, heart disease, mental health disorders, Parkinson’s and the list goes on…

Do you think these MAGA dupes who incessantly trash “Obamacare” know that one of the largest demographics to benefit from the ACA just happens to be Republicans and Trump supporters living in rural areas around the country?

Of course they don’t, that’s a rhetorical question.

In fact, according to polls, most Americans wanted to see ACA subsidies extended.

A vast majority of these ACA enrollees blame the Republican Party for rising healthcare costs

And moreover, most Americans disapprove of Trump’s handling of healthcare in general.

I’m still waiting for the Trump healthcare plan…

Now that the first government shutdown fiasco is behind them, Republicans will just continue lying about their commitment to a “better” healthcare plan, or instead of universal healthcare, the GOP will push for universally privatizing health care.

Republicans want to lock in massive cuts to healthcare and deprive millions of coverage while prioritizing the corporate interests of the healthcare industry.

And despite what Republicans might argue about “trusting the market,” their support for privatizing healthcare to whatever extent they can will only lead to things like more profit seeking and denied claims, exploding premiums and healthcare costs, hospital shutdowns, unequal access to services and less accessibility to care for low-income individuals and families, and among other things, a lot more dead poor people.

Not to mention how this will also translate into lax regulations and lack of oversight, transparency and accountability, and of course made possible by more discreet lobbying, the lining of pockets and a growing number of conflicts of interest.
