This week in Trump World

TW is a hodgepodge of Trump quotes, tweets, cabinet advice, and Trump news friends, on topics and ideas not fake at all. Shawn Spicer will try to clarity any news in TW which conflicts with reality or seems virtually impossible. Global warming is not only a hoax but is being caused by the last administration. Donald Jr has zero contact with his father except when they talk on the phone which isn't really contact per DJT. Donald does his best thinking while golfing a Mar-a-Lago, Trump advisers claim the universe is in better alignment there. Trump believes what he believes because he believes what he believes, does that help? VP Pence is in the deep South compassionately explaining healthcare as government overreach to patients dying of needed care. Pres Trump is saving all his tweets on a private server so he can sell them and make money for Sasquatch victims. Pizzagate was almost as bad as Watergate except there were no burglars, no gate, but they did have pizza. Pres Tr...

Obamacare Questions

As I watch MSM's gnashing of teeth and whining over the ACA, as I watch republicans whine about the ACA, I wonder.... Why is there so little information about the positives of the ACA? Why is there little news on the people in America who need healthcare? Why is there no news on the states that are doing a good job implementing the ACA? Why is there no investigation into why insurers and others are opposed to the ACA? Why is affordable healthcare for all Americans not a priority instead of an impossibility?

When was the last time a news source reported on Americans whose coverage was dropped or failed to cover their health condition prior to October 2013? OK, I repeat myself. How is it our healthcare ranks 37th in world and we aren't embarrassed as a nation? Why is ...

'A Moral Question'

"If Nikki White had been a resident of any other rich country, she would be alive today." "Around the time she graduated from college, Monique A. "Nikki" White contracted systemic lupus erythematosus; that's a serious disease, but one that modern medicine knows how to manage. If this bright, feisty, dazzling young woman had lived in, say, Japan - the world's second - richest nation - or Germany (third richest), or Britain, France, Italy, Spain, Canada, Sweden, etc., the health care systems there would have given her the standard treatment for lupus, and she could have lived a normal life span. But Nikki White was a citizen of the world's richest country, the United States of America. Once she was sick, she couldn't get health insurance. Like tens of millions of her fellow Americans, she had too much money to qualify for health care under welfare, but too little money to pay for the drugs and doctors she needed to stay alive. She spent the last...
