Matt Yglesias gives us a good overview of the battle over Health Care in this country. Apparently, what's going to happen is that a lot of folks will be losing their insurance or paying a lot more for it and the Republican response will be to (a) deny that's so and (b) to say, "Nonsense! It's available to them and don't blame us if they claim it isn't!" Or something like that. I'm waiting for someone to ask Trump, "Does this bill that your party wants to pass and you to sign fulfill what you promised on the campaign trail?" Because there's no way it comes close to that.
I'm still amazed there are people in this country who, when asked about Donald Trump, say they like him because he's honest and he speaks his mind and he tells it like it is. I can understand those who think he's a con man and a liar who's going to do a lot of things they want done, including beating up on immigrants and making rich people a lot richer at the expense of the poor and middle-class. I can't understand how they can still defend as honest, a man who insists he got a lot more electoral votes than other presidents who got a lot more electoral votes.
