Trump: All Republicans will support people with pre-existing conditions 'after I speak to them'

By Peter Sullivan - 10/18/18 03:55 PM EDT
 

President Trump tweeted Thursday that “all Republicans support people with pre-existing conditions, and if they don’t, they will after I speak to them.”

The tweet comes as Republicans are under fire in races across the country for their votes to repeal ObamaCare and its protections for people with pre-existing conditions.

Republicans have been scrambling to show that they do support the protections, and Trump’s tweet is an added point in that effort.

Heh..... Single Payer Trump Style - here we come.
Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775

“Beleive me, we’re going to have health insurance for everybody, it's so simple. There was a philosophy in some circles that if you can’t pay for it, you don’t get it. That’s not going to happen with me. I am going to take care of everybody. Beleive me, everybody’s going to be taken care of much better than they’re taken care of now, and it will be much, much cheaper than it is now under ObamaCare.”

It's that 12th dimensional underwater Conservative chess that we Conservative simpletons cannot grasp the genius of.

Uh oh.   

You've gone and done it now.

Prepare for the spanking and declaration that you are a Democrat troll from the Trump Loyalists for daring to publicly state that Trump is wrong on this issue.

@INVAR, I have never hidden what I think about Donald Trump, and I don't usually take a lot of heat for it.  This is a bad idea and should be called out as such, just as good ideas should also be recognized as such.

One would think so, but we have learned otherwise in the past several years haven't we?

@XenaLee can tell you all about it based on a recent spat she endured from people that she would normally caucus and agree with regarding Trump and the GOP.

Yeah, that's great and all that, @INVAR, but maybe just for once you could address the topic and not try to start s**t.

I don't know if you folks have realized this but this horse is already out of the barn and galloping at full speed. Most of the Rat campaign ads are tying Trump to candidate A in wanting to throw Pre-existing dopes off of their entitlement and kill them. It's a loser issue for the GOP. There is no positive spin on this issue. Obama stuck us with it and now it's over, It's the same as the damn Social Security and Medicare. Good luck getting that back in the bottle once the deadbeats are on that.

I reluctantly agree with you, Frank.  However, coverage of people who can't afford medical care needs to go to the states.  The Feds have absolutely no business in the medical care business.

How do you convince people that pre-existing conditions shouldn't be covered?  HOW do you do this?  And why would you do this?

Okay, so I post this with a lot of emotion. I’m 39 and 2.5 years post op from a sarcoma removal. My ct scan last week indicated what is most probably tumor recurrence. I’m terrified. My biopsy is next Thursday. Please pray for me. As I type this, and after $20K in medical debt from the last experience (yes! med debt even with obamacare!) I still believe the free market needs to reign supreme. Even if that means no preexisting conditions.

Sounds great as a concept, but I don't see any way out of it. I always thought that even if Obamacare was gutted and worthless these Pre exist people would still need to be covered because there is no way in hell anyone will muster the support to end it.

Prayers up for you. 

I have family that have incurred $30k in debt even with ""full coverage"".  It's a rigged game, I'm afraid.
