Finally, DU member promoting Trump and his lies about health care plans

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by etherealtruth (a host of the 2016 Postmortem forum).

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=1956694


Jesus Christ

You knew they wanted to do this for a long time, finally they are just doing it

Trump is both lying and NOT recommending any particular replacement for ACA, so the fact that I am seeing this on this board is astounding.
