(31,989 posts)Three and a half years into his reign and ten years after Congress passed the ACA, Republicans have come up with absolutely no alternative to it, despite much wailing and going into hysterics over helping people get health insurance they can afford. How stupid does he think we are? We have heard this lie Im releasing my plan in two weeks so many times before. Gah!

lark
(23,099 posts)I think he said he'd be introducing it within a week-10 days after elected, just like he'd be releasing his taxes, honor the constitution and not profiteer which is all lies of course. He's lying about the medical plan too, just like he's lying about not cutting SS & Medicare when he''s in rally mode but tells all his money folks that this will be done immediately upon his reelection. In other words, every single thing he says is an outright self-profiting lie.

Yet more Constitutional distortion from the dictator.
