Trumpcare is coming annnnnnny day now.
He already released a very thick and comprehensive binder of it. It had many pages. Some said, Sir this is the most pages we have every seen in a healthcare plan binder.
This page intentionally left black x 1500
He is going to bundle it with infrastructure week!
The same IVF that his running mate voted against protecting access to?
i'd be surprised if those two chucklefucks even talk to each other
Have they actually been seen in the same place? I've not personally seen an image with the two of them, but I'm not looking either
Would you imagine anyone wanting to talk to either of them?
I can think of a few people... Maybe only a few dozen million, but they're out there.
His ship is sinking. Here come the chicken-in-every-pot promises to try to stop the hemorrhaging.
And the evangelicals are going to make him walk it back within days as well.
Haven’t Republicans been attacking IVF and isn’t planned to be banned under Project 2025?
Yes but Trump has been trying to distance from it by saying he might need to workshop some of it
Absolutely pathetic so par for the course for him.
The government will cover the costs of the zero IVF treatments that legally occur.
Why IVF and not cancer?
Because he prefers people who didn't get cancer.
Well if you don't test for it then you won't have it. So there's no need to cover any treatment because it will no longer exist whenever Trump is ~~king~~ president
Because cancer isn't big in the news. He thinks this will improve his "ratings"
Because he's pandering to the "quiverfull" and "great replacement" lunatics.
Checks the GOP lobby card.
Yep, too much money in it...
Why cancer and why not everything we know how to treat?
Keyword "says". He's lying.
Maybe if Trump keeps saying progressive things. Kamala will copy some of those too
It's 2024 in American politics, crazier shit has happened
Maybe we could pay for it with Kamala's old Medicare for All plan or Mayor Pete's "Medicare for All Who Want It"?
Let's be clear though, Trump isn't going to do those things. He'll just say whatever it takes to stay out of prison.
Isn't that socialism? :o
No, no, no.
It's like Go Fund Me for health care, but we all put money into a single account and when someone needs it they just.... wait a minute....
That SOUNDS like Socialism but its NOT because TRUMP said it! If Kamala said it it would be DEMOCRAT SOCIALISM INDOCTRINATING YOUR KIDS!
Republicans are like a cat chasing string. No offense to cats.
For those confused about how this jives with the GOP's general hatred of women, consider the following:
Well you can't since it involves killing babies according to your wack job base.
"Government or insurance companies"
... that sounds like socialism to me!
He is giving insurance companies the choice, and for that reason they are going to pass.
What happened to the "I don't want to pay for other people's health care" reasoning against Obamacare?
Well once he bans it then the gov can spend unlimited amounts of money on 0
Oh, is it opposite day again!? No wait, he is just trying to stay out of jail....
LOLZ
What a fucking liar
