Kellyanne Conway: Trump will ONLY kill Medicaid for "able bodied Americans not poor, sick, needy."

“Also, Medicaid continues to be funded,” Conway continued. “Medicaid over time would be unsustainable and unaffordable because ObamaCare failed to bring the costs down for healthcare, so the states are having very difficult time meeting the bills. Medicaid is intended for the poor, the needy, and the sick.”

She went on to claim that Obamacare grew the people on Medicaid, while the GOP healthcare plan seeks to get people off the plan who she said shouldn’t be on in the first place.

“What it’s done under ObamaCare it’s expanded the Medicaid pool of people who, quote, qualified beyond that. So if you have an able bodied American not poor, sick, needy,” Conway said. “We’re not talking about the elderly, the children, the pregnant women, the disabled. If you are able-bodied and you would like to go and find employment and employer-sponsored benefits then you should be able to do that.”

Trumpcare would actually put a cap on Medicaid spending, so if there was no more money available for children, pregnant women or the elderly, they wouldn’t get care either.

Leigh Ann Wilson, a Democrat, voted for Trump in hopes he'd curb the opioid crisis. She's not happy

Leigh Ann Wilson, a Democrat, voted for Trump in hopes he'd use health care reform to curb the opioid crisis. She's not happy with the results so far.

http://www.rawstory.com/2017/06/this-mother-voted-for-trump-to-curb-the-opioid-crisis-shes-not-happy-with-how-things-are-going/

Leigh Ann Wilson hoped that President Trump would improve a lot of things in her home state of West Virginia, particularly an issue close to her heart: expanding treatment for people addicted to opioids.

Wilson lost her daughter, 21-year-old Taylor, to an opioid overdose last year. Weeks later, she voted for Trump, won over by his pledge to fight the opioid crisis by building a wall to keep out drugs - and by reforming health care.

She is not impressed with how things are going so far.

And so on Sunday, Wilson spoke at a health care rally in Charleston, W. Va. organized by the liberal advocacy group MoveOn.org. The featured speaker: Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders. The goal: To press moderate Republican senators to vote against the GOP health bill this week.

Kushner w/ Mahmoud Abbas was kinda like Bannon ordering the Freedom Caucus to sign off on TrumpCare

Freedom Caucus told Bannon to go "F" himself.

BANNON: “Guys, look. This is not a discussion. This is not a debate. You have no choice but to vote for this bill.”

FREEDOM CAUCUS: “You know, the last time someone ordered me to something, I was 18 years old. And it was my daddy. And I didn’t listen to him, either.”

Same thing happened to Rugged Action Figure Jared.

"London-based Arabic daily Al-Hayat reported Saturday that the meeting between Kushner and Abbas had been “tense.” Abbas was allegedly furious when Kushner relayed a set of demands from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, according to a translation of the report by the Jerusalem Post."

YES...it IS sad, it IS unfair, and to be honest, it could be fake news on the part of London-based Arabic daily Al-Hayat. I personally think Mahmoud Abbas gave Rugged Action figure Jared a firm handshake and said something like "HEY, bro...you been working OUT? I'll bet you're carrying a six-pack under that flak jacket."

Because, you know, I think the media is just trying to take this president down. Like his son Eric said, he's accomplished more than any President in US history ( http://www.rawstory.com/2017/06/eric-trump-says-dnc-chair-is-a-nut-job-my-father-accomplished-more-than-any-president-in-history/ ).

Donald Trump visited the golf course for the 30th time as President

Donald Trump visited the golf course for the 30th time as President



https://thegolfnewsnet.com/golfnewsnetteam/2017/06/25/donald-trump-visited-golf-30th-time-president-105644/

Donald Trump paid a weekend visit to his Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Va., marking the 30th time the 45th President has visited one of his 17 golf clubs (and presumably played some golf) since becoming President on Jan. 20, 2017.

Trump had paid his 29th visit to a Trump-owned golf course on June 11 at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, N.J., which will host the U.S. Women's Open in three weeks. Trump likely played the 18-hole course which hosted the tournament. There are 36 holes on the property. He played on Friday, Saturday and Sunday that weekend.

There is some dispute over which golf trips his represented, considering during at least one trip Trump took to his Northern Virginia course, he was there for on 43 minutes. We had his count at 26 times through June 11.

NBC News reported this was Trump's 30th trip to a Trump-owned golf property. The administration claimed Trump was going to do work at the club, which is hosting a club tournament this weekend. However, NBC News reports several people in golf clothing got into the lead car of the president's motorcade.

Kellyanne Conway single-handedly solves opioid crisis without the help of Jared Kushner.

Kellyanne Conway Tells Addicts That They Need “Will” Not Healthcare Coverage For Treatment
By Jason Easley on Sun, Jun 25th, 2017 at 2:49 pm
Kellyanne Conway argued on ABC's This Week that the government needs to spend less money on treating opioid addiction, and instead addicts need to rely on "will" to get healthy.

Kellyanne Conway argued on ABC’s This Week that the government needs to spend less money on treating opioid addiction, and instead addicts need to rely on “will” to get healthy.

CONWAY: It takes money and it also takes a four letter word called will. It takes the focus that it includes money, but it also includes understanding the difference between just interdiction and prevention, but, also recovery and treatment.

We have a lot more success stories now even though no state has been spared and no demographic group has been untouched.

George, money alone hasn’t solved this problem. ObamaCare spent billions of dollars and where are we?

Kushners meeting w/ Mahmoud Abbas went badly, Trump is reportedly considering pulling out of talks

http://www.rawstory.com/2017/06/jared-kushners-meeting-with-mahmoud-abbas-went-so-badly-that-trump-is-reportedly-considering-pulling-out-of-talks/

London-based Arabic daily Al-Hayat reported Saturday that the meeting between Kushner and Abbas had been “tense.” Abbas was allegedly furious when Kushner relayed a set of demands from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, according to a translation of the report by the Jerusalem Post.

Israeli daily Haaretz reported that Palestinian officials were “greatly disappointed” following their Wednesday meeting with Kushner and Jonathan Greenblatt , Trump’s Middle East envoy.

"They sounded like Netanyahu's advisers and not like fair arbiters," a senior Palestinian official told the publication. "They started presenting Netanyahu's issues and then we asked to hear from them clear stances regarding the core issues of the conflict."

According to the report, Kushner and Greenblatt criticized Abbas for failing to condemn a terror attack in Jerusalem last week that left one dead, and for refusing to meet Trump’s appointee as U.S. ambassador to Israel, David Friedman, over his support for the settlement program.

Super PAC plans $1 million ad buy targeting Dean Heller (R-NV) for not supporting TrumpCare

WASHINGTON — Nevada’s Republican Sen. Dean Heller placed himself in the wobbly space between two tectonic plates set to collide when he announced Friday that he would not support President Donald Trump’s American Health Care plan “in this form.”

***

“There is no excuse for any Republican or Democrat to oppose the Senate health care bill outright,” America First Priorities president Brian O. Walsh said in a statement Saturday.

“Senator Heller, who once claimed he would focus on repealing and replacing Obamacare with a willing partner in the White House, appears to be heading down a path with Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer and the radical left,” the statement read.“We sure hope he changes his mind as he learns more about the bill. We at America First Policies will make certain that citizens know who stood in the way of repealing and replacing Obamacare, and we will ensure the people’s voices are heard.”
