Did you know that many people are dying because they cannot afford the medicines they need?

The news media goes out of their way to cover this horrifying fact up. It is clear that mr. Trump has done an awful lot in one year and he intends to cut the middleman out of the medicine markup disaster. Excellent job mr. Trump ! Perhaps there will be a day when these greedy self-centered piece of crap medical marketers in the healthcare industry will find that they can't afford life for once.

Yup. I think Trump calls that "winning."

It's all good and nice to promise what your position can't deliver. We live in a capitalist society. Capitalism is about making money. Period. It's not about collective wellbeing or future or disbursement of wealth and resources where they're most needed or making sure companies "do the right thing.". It's about one guy getting rich at a time.

Until the system of healthcare - the way we choose it, execute it, pay for it and plan it - changes, prices will remain exactly where they are. Is Trump also going to reform al the over-charging hospital systems? How about doctors who schedule 4 appointments for EACH 15-minute slot of a day?

Trump's plans - none of which have come to life yet - all promise one single thing: higher debt.

@Graylight quit watching your fake news and look for the facts. Our state unemployment rate dropped 4% In one year. It rose 5% in the second term of Obomba. Sorry that you are so misinformed. Fake news is mainly formed by rich crooks and their lobbiests who are on the verge of losing the wealth that screwed others to get there. They want us to believe Trump isn't working so they can keep screwing us to stay corrupt and wealthy. Sorry if I hurt your feelings. Get your fact right.

@IndianaJoes I'm not going to counter the demonstrably incorrect "information" you got because reputable sources are everywhere and I'm getting a little tired of Conservative Laziness Syndrome.

But let me help. Search how much influence a president has on the economy or economic growth attributable to precious administrations.

@Graylight that's why I crossreferanced 6 different sources to verify the accuracy. You said Obomba care is affordable? That is what blows my mind about rich bastards. Ever notice how doctors and lawers drive brand new BMWs and the rest of us drive old chevys if we are lucky. Try working a blue collar job and pay for a health problem without having to sell the only car you have to get back and forth to your job. I suppose you try to convince people that purple housecats fly in the dark too. This is the crap I enjoy exposing.

@IndianaJoes Exposing? One, I'm not rich. Two, I work in the blue-collar world and Three, my health insurance (now that I no longer enjoy my old policy) is more prohibitively costly than any insurance I've ever had.

Yeah, the ACA is imperfect. It has cost [i]some[/i] higher rates; others enjoy much relief. What did you think a bill that had to be jumped in and run the Republican gauntlet would end up looking like other than a shredded, scar-covered shadow of what it once was? You can't do everything possible to obstruct, destroy and undermine and then complaint that things aren't working out.

@IndianaJoes we were discussing the ACA, which continues to improve and has helped millions of Americans.

As for Biden... You don't burn your house down and then blame the firemen when you don't have a place to sleep.
