Question for Trump voters; what do you think of the Air Strikes?

I ask because Trump ran on an anti-war platform and the opposite seems to be happening. I'm not asking to troll people and genuinely interested in what you people think. Is interventionist foreign policy what you want?

Weird, I was trying to click on Reply, in another part of this thread, but SW would not respond. Possibly because you're replying to someone who blocks me for political reasons.

Not part of this thread, but it's here, and you're responding to it. It's a partial quote, what was actually pushed was that you can keep your health plan and you can keep your doctor.

President Obama was not the only person to say that. It was repeated by nearly all Democrats involved in drafting the ACA. To assume that they're all liars, is a tall order. What happened is a colossal fuckup. When the original drafts were proposes, this would have been true, but by the time the thing was done, with all the compromises, it was no longer true.

A couple of problems emerged:

1. People with work provided insurance. That would be the majority of the population. The authors of the plan, neglected to add language, preventing employers from switching insurance plans, and some did, as previously they did not have to cover pre-existing conditions, so they switched to lower cost plans, with huge deductibles. So, technically, you no longer have your previous speaking, though to be fair, your employer has probably switched insurance carriers on you in the past.

2. There was no language, to prevent insurance companies, from canceling our your existing policy, and either pull out of the market, or offer you a much more expensive policy, something you could not afford.

The thing about it though, is that I have yet to meet a single Obama blamer, who can actually explain what that means, though they never hesitate to use it in their unrelated arguments.

Fortunately for me the employer plan works well even after switching carriers. I’m sure I’m blessed in this regard. I’ve purchasdd so. AFA polices for my adult kids during periods when close to graduation they did grad school full time after working and going to grad school up until the time when they could finish with one full time semester. While they worked as students and now that they’re done grad school and working they’ve had good employer coverage. With AFA policies it’s a matter of you get what you pay for. The terms of the plans, deductibles and coverage are clearly explained @Northwest
