    The Dems are right, the GOP seems intent on making America Sick Again.

    Hopefully part time lib trump will keep those in CONgress who wish to harm us under control.

    Sure, Americans love Obamacare, just because the Democrats said so.

    Meanwhile, Democrats are upset with states that aren't lining up to allow grown men to share a bathroom with eight year old girls.

    let's talk about "sick", shall we?

    Dems trolled Trump hard today.

    Bernie is right. Trump promised not to go after medicaid and Medicare and he broke that promise.

    This is Trumps most damaging lie.

    The GOP health plan: Don't get sick. If you do, die quickly.
    Every industrialized nation in the world has free or affordable health care for all their citizens. Not us. When it comes to keeping our citizens safe, we're a second-rate nation.

    "If your friend jump off a bridge would you" Just because other countries have something doesn't me need to.

    I'm actually all in favor for everyone having healthcare......as long as it's optional and if you opt out none of your taxes go towards it. I have friends and contacts all over the world and almost to a person they think their countries healthcare is.....ok. If your poor.....LOVE IT.....if you have money.....who gives a (*)(*)(*)(*) I'll pay for private doctors anyway, so the people that get squashed are the middle class people. The middle class can't afford private doctors so they have to wait in line like the poor that can't afford healthcare or can't/don't/won't have a job that provides it.

    Like many things in life I'm opposed to rules that effect all while hurting/hindering the majority.

    Right.... Because having Obamacare policies costing families $12,000 - $18,000 in annual premiums and having $10,000 deductibles that needed to be paid out of pocket before the insurance kicks in was making America healthy.

    America's healthcare system need to be addressed. We are paying twice as much as any other industrialized country. How 'bout congress just vote for us what they voted for themselves?

    It's not all bad for all people though! If you are penniless, on the taxpayer dole it's a pretty good deal! So the democrat version of staying healthy is to stay broke while sucking the life force from all the poor slobs that now have the worst healthcare in U.S. history so drug addicts, food addicts, alcoholics and non productive enjoy the best free coverage in the history of the U.S.!

    Wait, what is supposed to be sick about grown men and eight year old girls using bathrooms with the same sign on the door?

    But his quote is accurate.
    I honestly don't get why so many Republicans are opposed to keeping Americans safe from illness.
    Strong nations take care of their own. Apparently Republicans don't want us to be a strong nation.

    Please provide a link where Trump is "going after medicaid and Medicare."

    There seems to be a misunderstanding Obamacare has absolutely nothing to do with healthcare. It has only made health insurance unaffordable for many.

    We are already sick again and it's due to Democrats. Since Obamacare, we have lost 1 month off our life expectancy and the death rate is up. That is unheard of. And health care skyrocketed. Thanks Obama...

    Republicans have all killer, not filler when it comes to Obamacare. They haven't come up with one solution that would replace ACA, and don't begin to tell me they have, because they haven't. It's all "Repeal, Repeal, Repeal" okay then what? You repealed the god*amn healthcare system, where is the reform? I swear, to be a Republican you have to be a special kind of clueless in life.

    You will have to pass it then when it comes, in order to know what's in it...

    Republicans almost being absolute hypocrites by nature, I would not be surprised for a pundit on the right to pull a Pelosi.

    Democrats passed it without reading it and it shows. It's a boondoggle. Prices up---service down. Insurance companies are backing out. Remember when Michelle got her friend to set up the exchanges and it didn't work! Sebelius had egg on her face. You knew it would happen. As I said, death rate is going up and life expectancy is going down for the first time in years. Unheard of in an advanced country. Ask the doctors how much they like ACA.

    Hypocrites???

    Who are the real hypocrites here, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi and their group of acting Democratic politicians, with their chant of "Make America Sick Again".

    Crying, that if ObamaCare is removed, all Americans will get sick and die.

    Pretty original stuff, coming from that group of actors and actresses (who personally have the best health insurance in the country).

    What they fail to mention though, is even during those years when 20 million Americans were receiving ObamaCare, the top 10 leading causes of death from illesses in this country continued to increase. Why didn't Obamacare fix that?

    The top 10 leading causes of death in the US

    Nearly 75% of all deaths in the US are attributed to just 10 causes, with the top 3 of these accounting for over 50% of all deaths. Over the last five years, the main causes of death in the US have remained fairly consistent, although unintentional injuries (accidents) became the fourth leading cause of death in 2013, while stroke became the fifth.

    Heart disease: 614,348
    • Cancer: 591,699
    • Chronic lower respiratory diseases: 147,101
    • Accidents (unintentional injuries): 136,053
    • Stroke (cerebrovascular diseases): 133,103
    • Alzheimer's disease: 93,541
    • Diabetes: 76,488
    • Influenza and pneumonia: 55,227
    • Nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, and nephrosis: 48,146
    • Intentional self-harm (suicide): 42,773

    So in thinking like Progressives, I could simply say that was all Obama's fault.
