>> Do you know why there is a healthcare initiative in the US? Democrats. At this moment the only initiative rests with the Republicans who are tasked with undoing Obamacare and the damage it has caused. >> Do you know why millions of additional people have health insurance? Democrats. Millions of additional people DO NOT have health insurance. In fact, probably fewer have actual health insurance. Millions of additional people have been forced onto welfare benefits. That's the 20 million. They didn't want it, they were fine without it, and in a large number of cases, they were better off without it. >> Do you know why republicans are talking about health insurance plan replacements? Democrats. Of course. Democrats shoved this garbage down Republicans throats and now the Republicans are stuck trying to repair the damage. And the same will be true of Medicare and Socai Security later in Trump's term. >> It's easy to destroy something...not nearly as easy to build it. As many of us told you in 2010 and 2011, this POS would destroy itself. It has. It literally cannot stay afloat from this point forward. It is collapsing. It is on the new leadership to fix it and Trump, smartly, recognizes it must be ripped out by the roots and replaced with something workable. You cannot blame us for this mess. We can never gain back what we lost. But I hope something can be created that allows us to move forward. The system we had was extremely complex and the changes that have been made are convoluted and counterproductive. Reversing them is simply not possible at this point. It will take several years to transition I would expect. This will begin in the next six months I would expect, as the collapse is imminent.
