- astrodust 10y agoThis "other world" you're talking about exists: backwater countries run by kleptocrats and military generals.
- akjainaj 10y agoI am talking about the list of promises. I am not judging Trump himself, and I actually don't like him. But I like what he's promised and I think it could work.
- astrodust 10y agoWhat has he promised and how could it work?
- DefaultUserHN 10y ago>What has he promised... Repeal ObamaCare. >...and how could it work? I no longer have to pay $1,000 monthly premium for a health care package I can't even use.
- astrodust 10y agoYou mean the Affordable Care Act, the one that, once repealed, will put dozens of Americans I know into serious mortal peril? Sounds great. Glad you're saving a bit of money. Also what the hell are you paying $1,000 a month for? If that isn't an argument for Medicare for everyone I don't know what is.
- DefaultUserHN 10y ago>You mean the Affordable Care Act, the one that, once repealed, will put dozens of Americans I know into serious mortal peril? But if not repeal, will leave me homeless, since I won't be able to pay the mortgage bill anymore. Why do your friends get priority over me? Why do I have to lose my house so your friends can have health care? What about me? What about all those other people, left behind by Obama's presidency? Well, we at least know what they did. They voted for Trump.
