Republicans never had a health plan .

Dewy's avatar

Stephen Miller has a healthcare plan but it involves cutting the population down to 100 million people.

Sue Dalling's avatar

Of course. I have very religious members in my family they blame the liberals for not having enough kids. Liberals just want to kill babies by abortion. I am told by them I committed a mortal sin every time I have sex with my husband and used birth control. If I don’t repent before I die. I will not go to heaven. I told them that most Catholics believe in Birth control. I said does that mean if they don’t repent what they did before they die they will not go to heaven I was told YES they will not. You can not make this stuff up.

The Catholic proscriptions on birth control are entirely a church culture ruling, unsupported by their scriptures. Most don't read the Bible much and merely accept what they hear from the priesthood.

Sue Dalling's avatar

Agree” if God was to come on Earth he would say, plan your family according to your needs and use birth control to have a happy family.

JP4M's avatar

He also would approve a woman’s choice so she could live and care for the family and loved ones she already has, I feel certain.

Patris's avatar

Traditionally Catholics were not supposed to read the Bible.. “God Forbid!”

Thomas Hollis's avatar

'Father, forgive them. They know not what they do."

JP4M's avatar

They know what they think they are doing, yet your quote is exactly true!

Jane in NC's avatar

Imagine having reproductive policy set by what Christopher Hitchens called 'a clutch of hysterical, sinister virgins.' And worse, taking that crap seriously!

Sue Dalling's avatar

Exactly this is ludicrous. What gets me is one religion criticizing another religion .

Jane in NC's avatar

Oh yes! You don't need atheists or agnostics to drag religions. If you want to hear really vile smack talk about a particular religion, just ask a member of any other denomination.

Sue Dalling's avatar

Exactly. I can see now why Jews didn’t accept Jesus as their savior. No one knows until they die. Then we have this new Catholic Pope who trying to show MAGA Catholics how they have perverted the church.

cdbrzezinski's avatar

Heaven? What a ridiculous concept. Do they believe in Santa Claus too? The tooth fairy? Why oh why does this trickery still work, even after centuries WITHOUT PROOF that there is ‘life after death’? Why do so many people lack a basic grasp on reality and seem willing to be controlled by a book written over time by unknown, unaccountable people? It’s all made up. Why do people believe this nonsense?

B. Wells's avatar

They are afraid of death. Want to live forever. Afraid of uncertainty. They want everything fore ordained.

Robot Bender's avatar

They are afraid because the world is an uncertain place. Religions sell comfort.

S. A. Linden's avatar

It's also an insurance policy. They hope, do the rituals, and then say to themselves "just in case."

I find it sad that we are given amnesia at birth and can't remember our true nature. But there's a reason for that, and I can't remember what it is. ;)

B. Wells's avatar

Yes, although some are not so comforting.

C Giza's avatar

It has been a way for institutions to keep the population of believers in line.

I personally believe that one's moral compass should not rest upon reward or punishment.

Karen's avatar

SO much not like the Catholicism I grew up with in the 50s, early 60s. My mom would have set them straight!

C Giza's avatar

Agree! We were taught to help others, fight for those who could not fight for themselves, accept differences, and try to practice understanding when faced with problems we had not yet dealt with in our younger years.

Sue Dalling's avatar

I know, it is unbelievable. When you are in a cult you believe anything.

B. Wells's avatar

to "hell" with them

Patris's avatar

The one they envision

Sue Dalling's avatar

Who you talking about me or them?

EileenOR's avatar

Obviously them, not you!!!!

Julia Collins's avatar

The Encyclical, Humanae Vitae, which discusses birth control says that the decision to use birth control is between a couple and God. Suggest your relatives read the Encyclical.

David Maceira's avatar

According to the data from the Gutmacher Institute the US performs anywhere between 1 million to 2 million abortions per year. While the top two countries in the world for performing abortions are China - approximately 9 million per year and India - approximately 14 million abortions per year.

Sue Dalling's avatar

More than 2 million kids in the world will die from US republican

S stopping aid. Hypocrisy !

Julie's avatar

Yeah and that plan includes throwing out all the awesome immigrant doctors and nurses from the so called “s*** hole” countries and destroying the universities that educate our home grown doctors and nurses. Winning!

Judy Sherwood's avatar

He has the same healthcare plan that Germany had in the 1930s.

Lois W. Halbert's avatar

Stay well. It is hard to believe something so simple like Healthcare is taking so long. Healthcare for all NOW.

Teri Gelini's avatar

starvation is his plan as well as no health care for the sick so they die.

Sheryl's avatar

He’s fucking Moron !! He’s a Bigoted Piece of Garbage 😡🤬

Sherrie Gustafson's avatar

Feel better and take care please. We need you.❤️

Kimberly's avatar

That seems like a high estimate.

Romell Reed's avatar

Less than that. Only one percenters.

Sheryl's avatar

He’s a fucking Psycho he also Needs Anger Management Therapy and Needs to be Fired !!😡🤬

Lois W. Halbert's avatar

They have busy using AI to distort and change the Epstein files.

Ellen McKenzie's avatar

100 million white people.

Phyllis's avatar

Don't even think about what Stephen Miller says or Trump.

Sharon Weaver's avatar

Yeah….he seems level headed enough to make those decisions.

Judy Sherwood's avatar

but they are forever "working on that". trump said they would have one in 2 weeks, and that was in trump 1.0 - it's always 2 weeks, working on that... they have NO incentive to produce/provide health care for Americans.

LynseyFS's avatar

They simply don't give a damn about the majority of Americans.

Robot Bender's avatar

Trump had has eight years to come up with one.

LynseyFS's avatar

All he gave us in his 1st term was to say they had "concepts" of a plan - 5 years after he left office, he hasn't even come up with that this time around. But he can sure can bitch about how bad Obamacare is ... So "Do Something About It, Don Snoreleone!"

Sarah Reynolds's avatar

Their health plan is to take away healthcare from the citizens. Plain and simple.

Robot Bender's avatar

And never thought about it to begin with. Who do they think they're kidding? Hard core MAGA, I suppose.

JP4M's avatar

They need them long enough to keep the positions they want forever to enable them to carry out the plan.

L Johnson's avatar

Sure they do! It is: "Don't get sick and if you do, please expire quickly and quietly."

Marc Panaye's avatar

But they do have a theory of an idea of a concept of a proposition of a notion of a plan!

Ellen Brucker Marshall's avatar

Meanwhile, health care clinics and hospitals are running on fumes and uncertainty.

Layoffs imminent.

Carolyn johnson's avatar

True they want us to have no healthcare period!!!!!!!!

Dana Bennett's avatar

I really don’t give a damn about the Rethugs!!!

Dianemomcat's avatar

Don't tell DJT, Jr. about the oryx. He'll plan a hunting trip to the Sahara to shoot it.

Kent Cooper's avatar

But they always have!!! It's entitled the Don't Get Sick Plan.

Unfortunately, old and disabled, I got booted off their plan a decade ago.

Micaela's avatar

Thank you for your strength, Aaron.

Shelley Eutizi's avatar

Feel better. I've got the crud too- not fun.

Kenneth Gourlay's avatar

It's too bad they couldn't have thought about that. Those problems before they signed the one big beautiful building in law. When the chickens come home to roost, it's hard to figure out exactly where they've been and what they're going to do next

cherylcirca's avatar

Hope you feel better soon.

Peter Tey's avatar

We have always known that the Republicans have NO CLUE about setting up a decent healthcare plan.

After 15 years yammering that the ACA is horrible____nothing decent has escaped their brains

Except the famous utterance of orangehead "I have a concept of a plan" and "In 2 weeks we will have a healthcare plan"

Phyllis LaCroix's avatar

They could have worked on a plan, rather than shutting down congress. Now they want to do it in 2 weeks.

Peter Tey's avatar

But shutdown or not they don't have the brains to actually come up with a plan that is effective and fair, and what it is meant to do___provide healthcare insurance to the millions of uninsured.

All they can do is TEAR IT DOWN, period

Peter Tey's avatar

I think what the problem the Repubs have is that they consider it the big dirty "S", SOCIALISM. So any expense by the government should be stopped.

EileenOR's avatar

Right, Peter. Socialism (called "trickle down,") is only meant for the millionaire/billionaire. Didn't you know that? :)))

Peter Tey's avatar

Haha___Good one, you got me

EileenOR's avatar

:))) Have a good day, Peter!

S. A. Linden's avatar

They "can't" find one? No, they "won't" acknowledge that it might take a little of what they deem "socialism." Like every other country that's conceded that some things are a right to all individuals. What a thought.

Peter Tey's avatar

Exactly. Every other modern country has universal healthcare. BUT NOT US, OF COURSE. They call it American Exceptionalism

643,000 people go bankrupt each year due to medical costs, A real shame

Lisa's avatar

I find it interesting that the rape and sex trafficking Tate bros, have introduced Barron into their tribe. The legacy of rape and an international sex trafficking ring with a rich useful idiot with the last name of trump has started 2.0 it would appear. Seems a bit too on the nose.

Judy Sherwood's avatar

wonder what mama Melania thinks about that... surely she knows what her baby boy is doing 24/7. she is a helicopter parent.

Diane Lee's avatar

She's probably giving him pointers.

Carol S's avatar

She loves it…she's a whore bought and sold

CanadaIsNotForSale's avatar

'Madam' Melania. It's all a huge bordello of degenerates. They have Caligula film fest nights ( what a strange movie that is - only a truly warped mind could enjoy it)

Sharon's avatar

Like father like son!

Diane Lee's avatar

It's strange because someone on another post somewhere (I forgot), said they suspected Barron had sexually assaulted someone and then suddenly he's claiming he's “embracing the Lord” …..it seems those elements (friends with the Tate rapists and getting into the “Christian” lifestyle) usually reveal inappropriate sexual conduct in one's life. He'd most likely have been great friends with Epstein as well. There's something not right about that spawn of the orange swamp troll. Very creepy on so many levels. 🤮

Donna Stowe's avatar

No One knows what to DO???

There is only #ONESolution.

Article II, Section 4 Impeachment

“The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.”

With so many Republicans retiring, What Do They Have to Lose??? They could #RedeemThemselves by Saving the Republic on their #WayOutTheDoor

Donna Stowe's avatar

Patriots Will Rise or forever be damned in The Annals of American History. Generational harm will follow their posterity.

Again…What Do Republicans Have To Lose?

Donna Stowe's avatar

It’s clear this Administration is #CorruptToTheBone

None can be left in place including the #rot in the Court.

Dana Bennett's avatar

Got that right, Donna Stowe!!!

Alessandra Sheehy's avatar

They ALL must GO!

It can’t happen fast enough!

Kfrank's avatar

Could this be the moment?

Charles221's avatar

We can only wish 🤞.

Dana Bennett's avatar

Sounds good to me!!! OUT! OUT!! OUT!!

David H's avatar

"New York Times claims Barron Trump privately admires and has spoken with influencer Andrew Tate."

Melania must be proud, young Barron living up to her "Be Best" campaign.

David H's avatar

Yup

Andrew is the Epstein to Barron’s Donald.

Olimpia Carbone's avatar

Is this the same Andrew Tate that likes to abuse women?

Mary Anne Gaudet's avatar

Barron’s English isn’t that good, he speaks Slovenian like his mommy.

Tracy Logan's avatar

How about hiring Maureen Comey as special investigator for the Epstein files? I’m not sure she’s employed after Trump fired her. She knows more about the files than anyone. If there’s anyone who knows what documents are “missing” it’s Maureen.

Truth2power's avatar

UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE FOR ALL!!!

Sharon's avatar

Good grief let’s not do anything for the people! The oligarchs wouldn’t be happy with that. We must die.

Truth2power's avatar

Sad but true. They hate us.

Sharon's avatar

They do. Everything they do says they want us to die.

Roger Raybuck's avatar

get well soon Aaron

A Pat's avatar

Of course they do not have a plan. They NEVER had a plan. They have a plan when the other party makes one for them. People truly need to get this so they can push back, vote for the politicians who do the work. For The People!

Tonia's avatar

1. I’m surprised Trump hasn’t just started calling the affordable care act TrumpCare

2. Of course, the Epstein files have been tampered with, it’s Trump and his cronies.

Robot Bender's avatar

Bondi doesn't have the only copies. Count on it. It's too good for blackmail.

Lindley's avatar

We appreciate you very much…brain fog?? COVID test and take care of yourself…please.

Sharon's avatar

That is a good idea.

Keifer Allan's avatar

Shocker. DEMS caved on government shutdown, and as predicted, the American people are now FUCKED. Losing healthcare will kill people.

Sharon Weaver's avatar

Up for another shut down at the end of January I believe.

Sonja1030's avatar

That’s what happens when your allegiance is with the criminal in the WH instead of the constitution you swore an oath to and the people who elected you. 🤦🏾‍♀️

Keith Olson's avatar

Anyone who has paid attention since Trump became president, knows he wants to deep six Obamacare because he hates Obama.
