Trump announces plans to nuke healthcare

Donald John Trump has unveiled the Trump Tower Hospital plan to rip off Merikkka and put more American healthcare dollars in the hands of Trump family members and hangers-on.

Trump the John, in his pursuing the harlot of health care help, ignores that about everything he wants is purely aspirational until approved by Congressional legislation which, per Poppy Bush? Ain’t. Gonna. Happen.

Part of the deal is that, oh my fucking god, he actually uses the word “Obamacare,” which has House wingnut Rethuglicans shitting bricks as I speak, even if it's to bash it the first time he references it.

And, of course, the realities of health care costs are far beyond insurance companies ripping Merikkka off.

It’s also doctors and clinics with fee-for-service medicine and consulting arrangements ripping us off, and related back-scratchings. Failure to address fee-for-service medicine and pretend that American insurers are 90 percent of the problem with American healthcare costs is why I have strongly rejected Physicians for a National Health Program’s idea of national healthcare, and rejected three-time Green Party presidential nominee (and medical doctor) Jill Stein’s support for it, along with that of Green Party consigliere and medical doctor Margaret Flowers. I truly and deeply believe we need something like the British National Health Service — government ownership of the means of healthcare delivery, to go socialist, as discussed at that link.

Beyond the medical industry?

It’s also the pharmaceutical industry, aka #BigPharma, like the Sacklers who are the people who actually killed Mark Dubowitz’s brother, not Nicolas Maduro. (A rare case of Zionist on Zionist death, I know.)

That said, knowing the John’s love of alliteration, why didn’t he call this:

The Big Beautiful Boobs, Botox and Babies Bill? (He surely knows in some way about the first two.) Or

The Overcoming Onerous Obamacare? Or, per above?

The Healthcare Handouts for Hospitals?

==

More seriously, back to the early part.

This is all aspirational.

Even if Trump starts filing criminal charges, lawsuits, or both, against insurance companies and their executives, which, given how he’s using that cudgel, is seriously a possibility that should NOT be rejected out of hand.

Ditto on him possibly doing the same to the American Hospital Association, the AMA or other players.

That said, there IS one thing that Rethuglicans would sign off on in a New York minute.

And, that’s expanding healthcare savings accounts. Trump probably has in mind some Ponzi-like investment scheme for people putting healthcare savings accounts money into cryptocurrency or something.

Remember, nothing it too loony for either his:

  • Grift and possible graft;

  • Ego fellation;

  • Intimidation.

Stand by for news.
