I know that we have had discussions about this topic before, but the search bar did not produce any thread results when I typed in the phrase shown above. As a result, I thought that I would start a new thread. The Republicans have been trying to repeal Obama's signature health care plan ever since it was passed. The House voted roughly 60 times to repeal it, which is nothing more than sheer stupidity. The House finally succeeded shortly after Trump got elected, but John McCain came to the rescue and gave it the thumbs down (literally) in the Senate. It's true that many developed countries (Canada, England, Norway etc) have better health plans than we do, but there ARE places that are a lot worse of than we are. In Barack Obama's birthplace (senior, not junior) women have to bribe doctors so that can have healthy babies and/or surviving the birth of a child without dying. https://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/features/avoid-stillbirths-women-kenya-bribe-overworked-doctors-190130235838101.html Although maternal death rates are high in Kenya, there are 18 countries that have even higher death rates. Although the maternal death rate in the United States is a fraction of the death rate in Kenya, it is higher than virtually every other developed country. For a lot of reasons, we should pay a lot more attention to the Nordic countries, since they have better ideas than we do on many topics, including health care. https://www.indexmundi.com/g/r.aspx?v=2223

2 days ago, the Justice Department announced its intention to repeal the entire Affordable Care Act: https://www.wbur.org/onpoint/2019/03/27/affordable-care-act-aca-obamacare-justice-department-trump-administration Today, a federal judge rejected that plan, and Mitch McConnell signaled that he won't play a leading role in crafting the health care bill that Trump wants. You'd think by now that Trump would be tired of winning, but I'm pretty sure that he is a slow learner.

Dutch: You're being kind to your former governor. When he was head of Columbia/HCA, the company was fined $1.7 BILLION for Medicare fraud. For some reason, the voters in Florida thought that he would be a good governor, and NOW he is Florida's newest senator. Must be something in the water down there that makes people do those crazy things. https://www.politifact.com/florida/statements/2014/mar/03/florida-democratic-party/rick-scott-rick-scott-oversaw-largest-medicare-fra/

In the last few days, I have started to see ads for Trumpcare Medicare. I didn't know that it even existed, and I would not sign up for it on a bet, but a bit of research (see below) seems to indicate that it actually DOES NOT EXIST due to the fact that it was not approved by the Senate (thank you, John McCain!). https://www.medicaresupplement.com/content/trumpcare-explained/ I also found a LONG article that explains the difference between Trumpcare and Obamacare. The short version is that Obamacare is MUCH better. https://obamacarefacts.com/trumpcare-explained/
