Opinion | Donald Trump Still Wants to Kill Obamacare. Why?
www.nytimes.com
Is this really about policy, or is it personal?

Why this renewed assault? “Obamacare Sucks!!!” declared the former and possibly future president. For those offended by the language, these are Trump’s own words, and I think I owe it to my readers to report what he actually said, not sanitize it. Trump also promised to provide “MUCH BETTER HEALTHCARE” without offering any specifics.

So let’s discuss substance here. Does Obamacare, in fact, suck? And can we believe Trump’s promise to offer something much better?

      There’s a lot to unpack in that statement.

      • We’re talking about the GOP in general
      • We’re also not talking about veterans because they get way less benefits once they’re out of the military
      • It’s not just healthcare, but college and housing
      • I’m also inferring that it’s a social program for the military complex

        Point is they don’t give two shits about the people in the military. Use and discard. But they like the concept of a military because rah rah USA USA we can win wars. Not because it can be argued as a social program, that part they can do without.

          Again, I’m inferring that the social program is for the military weapons manufacturers because they get a shit ton of money and it helps the economy…
