Trump fearmongering about Harris

Trump Warns Harris Will Give “Everybody Health Care”

 

“She wants to take away your private health care. There are many people in this country who spend a lot of money on private health care.

“It’s the best health care in the world, by the way. But they want to do it. They worked hard to make money and they want to do it under her. You’re not going to have private health care plans anymore.

“And you can be a wealthy person or middle income person and you want to spend on a really good plan, better than a government plan. And you’re not gonna be allowed.

“You’re all going to be thrown into a communist system. It’s a communist system. You’re going to be thrown into a system where everybody gets health care.” – Trump, at yesterday’s disastrous “press conference” in New Jersey.

He is appealing to the selfish assholes who want to deny everyone but themselves of any privilege. ” This is not about me hoarding. This is about you who should not have anything.”

He just openly said that healthcare should be reserved for those who can afford it. He’s too stupid to be coy but that’s just breathtaking.

If you take that argument to its logical conclusion (since timely health care in more than just a few cases literally saves lives), what it obliquely implies is that the amount of money you have in the bank is the measure of your worth as a human and that you don’t necessarily have a right to life.

Guess what. The anti-abortion challenges to EMTALA are also going to destroy EMTALA itself. Get used to being dumped back in the parking lot if you should be unlucky enough to not be able to prove your ability to pay. Too bad if you are brought in without identification or an accompanying family member with the insurance card.

 

Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act.

From Wikipedia🔗 :

… EMTALA … requires hospital emergency departments that accept payments from Medicare [i.e. virtually all hospitals] to provide an appropriate medical screening examination (MSE) for anyone seeking treatment for a medical condition regardless of citizenship, legal status, or ability to pay. Participating hospitals may not transfer or discharge patients needing emergency treatment except with the informed consent or stabilization of the patient or when the patient’s condition requires transfer to a hospital better equipped to administer the treatment.


EMTALA, as a federal law, supersedes state laws that ban abortion. So, doctors who perform emergency abortions to stabilize a patient are protected by EMTALA. Hospitals that fail to do so could face fines or be booted from Medicare.

  1. He’s just so horrible, with such an ugly spirit.

    Also, I don’t understand why his family haven’t put him away somewhere safe before now. It’s like all of us have to watch elder abuse-putting him out there because they’re grifting money on it. It’s just all so sick.

    1. Hi Ali. Yes you are correct. It is due to his … pretend wealth. If he had no money he would be the crazy guy on the street yelling shit, or he would be a used car salesman. But he was born into a wealthy family that gave him 400 million on top of the money his dad shoved to him in childhood. When he burned through all that by being a very bad manager of money, he begged his relatives to give him enough to start doing money laundering. Notice in all his ventures he never uses any of his own money … because he has very little of it compared to real millionaires / billionaires. He borrows all his money to operate until he fell on the campaigning scam. Now, all his bills are being paid for by donations from poor people to his campaign’s fundraising. They pay his legal bills, they pay for his plane costs as he claims it is election related travel even to go to his court appointments. His fundraising is what keeps his pretending to be a billionaire businessman.

      Plus his mental decline is huge but everyone around him needs those donations so no one will tell him to stop. I agree with you in all you said. Hugs. Scottie
