Remember when "flip-flopping" used to ruin someone's political career? Lying was disdainful.
Now it seems to be a badge of honor.
Pledges Trump or administration has made regarding GOP Deathcare
‘INSURANCE FOR EVERYBODY’ Per the CBO’s score, 14 million people would immediately lose coverage, a number that would eventually rise to 24 million over the next 10 years.
‘NO CUTS … TO MEDICAID’ Obamacare repeal measure would cut Medicaid by $880 billion.
‘NO ONE WILL LOSE COVERAGE’ Again, an estimated 24 million people will lose coverage over the next 10 years under the plan.
‘NOBODY WILL BE WORSE OFF FINANCIALLY’ The CBO’s analysis doesn’t evaluate each individual’s financial situation. But its score projects health premiums under GOP health bill would increase by an estimated 15 to 20 percent over the bill’s first two years — before falling thanks to looser regulations and more younger enrollees. Older enrollees, though, could face higher premiums or costs - before they die.
‘GET RID OF ARTIFICIAL LINES’ "We have to get rid of the artificial lines around the states,” Trump said during the second presidential debate.
This promise isn’t met — or even addressed — in the House’s bill, a point of complaint for some conservatives. House Speaker Paul Ryan has attributed this to the need to avoid a filibuster while using the fast-track legislative process known as reconciliation. Trump, though, pledged on Twitter he would get to it eventually in a second or third phase of his repeal-and-replace effort.
