If Obamacare fails, it’ll be bad news for Trump
Yahoo! Finance ^ | 6/7/17 | Rick Newman

Posted on 06/07/2017 10:55:16 AM PDT by NohSpinZone

Some ACA critics—virtually all of them Republican—seem to delight at the prospect of Obamacare crumbling one county at a time, perhaps obviating the need to pass legislation that would formally repeal it. But this seems remarkably short-sighted.

Trump’s attacks on the ACA, and the real prospect of repeal under Republican-controlled government, have pushed public approval of the law to the highest levels ever. Americans disapprove of Republican plans to roll back the ACA and particularly dislike proposed cuts to Medicaid. So Republicans are now threatening programs Americans more or less like.

When it comes to The Wall *and* ObamaCare DJT must promise any Republican who loses his/her seat as the result of a “yes” vote on either matter a $150K/yr lifetime job at the Federal agency of their choice and the location of their choice.

In California and no place else.

Which just reduced the possibility of Single payer happening nationally from “Unlikely” to “Hell no”.

California’s medical situation is going to make Obamacare look brilliant.

We need an end-run of some kind. A kind of cloward-piven for conservatives

The constitution has one built in. I expect it will work.

I’m with you on the natural health cures...and especially prevention. Been eating really right for over 50 years, take about a dozen supplements daily, go to the gym almost every day, am slim, in xlnt health, and (blush) guys at the gym 30 years younger flirt with me. Not bad for an old broad. Everything works, nothing hurts. Will be 81 next week.

One of my top preventive measures is POSTURE. I was Rolfed years ago, and had many years of Alexander Technique training. So I really move like a graceful teenager. My idea of a comfortable chair is an old-fashioned straight back chair with ZERO “ergonomic” curves and other features that force you to scrunch around and have bad posture.

Alignment means your organs are not pushed around, they can function quite easily. Some, but by no means all, physical therapists understand this.

I do go to the doctor, finally found one who “gets it” about me. He’s also smart about supplements, literally prescribed electrolytes for the water bottle I take to the gym. Plus, I run into him at the gym. Never go to a doc who isn’t as least as healthy as. you are. And those are few and far between.

Keep up the excellent work, Mr. Douglas.

Too bad we are increasingly ignoring the Constitution.

Once again an anti-Trump article on an open forum runs feedback that is overwhelmingly pro-Trump. I find this interesting. Outside of dedicated leecher sites like WaPo NYT, HuffPo or theHill the libs get slaughtered in the feedback.

To a large degree.

The uniparty has been unable to completely defang the second amendment. That one will never be decided by robed judges.

It’s interesting you mentioned posture. It’s something I try to focus on as well. :)

Interesting post, period.

Thing is, people really did survive without “health insurance” for millennia.

Prayers with your cancer. Hubby did the same thing with his gout. Unsweetened cherrys in a can. It helped him.

I haven’t even read the full article but, I object to conflating ObamaCare and Medicare together.

They have nothing to do with each other. Moreover, Medicare Part-B was a Republican idea and legislation.

ObamaCare is dying like it was intended....

It has already fallen apart, get a clue.

We've been told for years this was going to happen and that the GOP had the solution.

If you get elected by saying you have the answer and then let things crater, well, good luck next cycle.

I didn’t word my post very well, I said, “and now with cancer”. I didn’t mean that I have it, I meant “regarding that particular illness”. Sorry about that.

BTW, regarding black cherry juice. I ended up using an online source to get black cherry capsules. Six years worth for $25. If I feel it flaring up, I take one of those each day and it goes away before it even gets uncomfortable. Happens about once every 18 months.

And I drink all the beer and eat all the red meat I want. :)

Of course, I’m not a heavy drinker and don’t eat all that much anyway, so “all I want” isn’t really all that much. ;)

See prayer works, you are healed from the cancer....LOL. Great to hear you do not have it. Hubby hasn’t had a gout attack in years.

Wow black cherry capsules, never would have thought they had those.

Thanks for that info, will look those up.
