This came across my FB feed from one of my high school friends who's a stanch Trump lover. "Just moments ago, no matter what time it where you live, President-Elect Donald Trump revealed his healthcare plan to the public, and it is awesome. Under Trumpcare, no American will go without coverage. According to a release from Trump Tower, Trumpcare will utilize a system in which the government will make all payments to insurance providers and Americans will have their share of the cost added to their tax bill. Everyone can then choose their own doctors without having to worry about whether or not the plan is right for them. All insurance plans will cover all conditions regardless of age, up to 65, when Medicare will kick in and cover almost everything. The best part is, only American citizens and legal residents are eligible. No more illegals gumming up the system and raping their nurses. Doctors can examine people without worrying about them blowing themselves up." Poor people with no jobs will be required to work a certain amount of hours if they can’t afford health care and retirees will move to a voucher system where they’ll be given coupons for discounts on stuff Medicare doesn’t cover. So all of the fears will be gone. Everyone’s premiums will be assessed as a percentage of their income, just like their taxes, and nobody will get a free ride on the backs of others. Donald Trump saves the day again. I have no idea if this is a credible source. Breaking News |

You gotta read the About Us on ANY site, and consider the URL. thelastlineofdefense.org/about-us/Sites that have names like this are almost NEVER credible. Their own disclaimer: DISCLAIMER: The Resistance may include information from sources that may or may not be reliable and facts that don’t necessarily exist. All articles should be considered satirical and any and all quotes attributed to actual people complete and total baloney. Pictures that represent actual people should be considered altered and not in any way real. |

I thought the republicans were against social medicine-single payer and the ACA was a compromise?

This is how actual fake news spreads. How many people who saw it on FB will share it without any thought to check? How many of them will have people who will point out it's flaws and then have the grace to admit they were wrong? Ugh. What have we come to?

Because hospital will start turning people away. Who cares if you were mugged and your legal ID was stolen your not getting treatment now you beaten unconscious unidentified person? How exactly would that work? |

Well the last few terrorist bombings or attempted bombings in this country were by people here legally so the medical staff will be no safer. There is a tendency toward running events though. |

I'm sorry, Advil will only be available to those with private insurance. Feel free to trade your 50 Tylenol for 2 Advil on the black market though.
Alternatively, you can go onto the "T&P Plan" (thoughts and prayers) which is much cheaper and doesn't include any Tylenol.
Or for those really sick people, there's the option of taking all 50 Tylenol at once...which will fix all future health care issues.
