It’s not just Trump, they are all stuck because they don’t want to man up to the real answer: their plan is to toss sick people out on to the streets and tell them to rely on charity or die quickly. That’s it. If there was a republican solution, it is called ACA and for some reason they decided to demonize it. Ironically this strategy has done more to bring about a public option than anything the Ds could have done.
The ones who have a clue are stuck as Martin says, because they refuse to do the only things that can work. But Trump literally doesn’t have a clue, not only what preexisting conditions are, but what health insurance is. Remember this? https://www.cnbc.com/2017/07/20/trump-thinks-young-people-pay-12-for-health-insurance.html Insurance is, you’re 20 years old, you just graduated from college, and you start paying $15 a month for the rest of your life and by the time you’re 70, and you really need it, you’re still paying the same amount and that’s really insurance.

It’s really hard not to mumble something snarky about Wharton School at this juncture but it’s really not a matter of bad financial thinking. The childish avoidance of reality behind a smokescreen of grandiose magical promises is just pathological.
We all just have to live with it, no matter that the number of infections hit a record. Never mind if someone or more in your family dies. It is what it is. What a freaking idiot!! And the lying idiot in chief really believes he has done nothing wrong. He almost seemed insulted that Biden understood something about the stock market. And who in hell are those two fools saying Russia is trying to hurt Trump?

He just said we’ll have a beautiful plan!
Donald Trump: All Bullshit All The Time
If you want bullshit, he’s your man. I should print up bumper stickers.
Trump–nobody does bullshit better.
They are making Single Payer inevitable.
