Yet More Outrageousness, Stupidity and Irresponsibility from this President

 Did you see what The Orange Man said now?

Trump baselessly claims doctors are inflating coronavirus death counts for money

You're a medical doctor in America. 

You're fighting and helping to fight the worst, most deadly, killing international pandemic in the last more than 100 years. 

At some risk to your own health. And life. And your own family's health and life, separately and together to do so. 

And the demagoguing Republican Party President of the United States, one Donald J "Jenius" Trump, as we sadly, badly know, suggests, publicly, to his supporters, that you and other doctors may be or are exploiting it all. 

For money. 

To make more money for yourself. 

I tell you, folks, there's no "low" to which this man won't go, to which he won't stoop. There's no "low" too low for this man.

Thanks, Mr. President. 

Thanks, Republicans. 

Let's do this, folks. Vote. And vote blue. Let's get that #BlueWave2020

American Medical Association rips Trump's claim that doctors inflating COVID-19 numbers

Mounting Opposition to the Republicans' Obscene "Trumpcare"

I've been heartened this morning over what I've seen out in the world today of opposition already to this monstrous "wealthcare" bill the Republicans created. Here is just some of that opposition.

Groups opposing the American Health Care Act

According to this page of Tennessee Congressman Jim Cooper, "Over 50 organizations oppose the proposed healthcare plan that will make Americans will pay more for less. The list includes nurses, doctors, hospitals, teachers, churches, and more."

And thank goodness.

Here are just some of those organization from this link.

AARP

American Medical Association

American Hospital Association & Federation of American Hospitals

American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network

This next one is wonderfully ironic.

American Health Care Association (AHCA)

Get that.  The AHCA is against this AHCA. I love that. 

Here's more:

America’s Essential Hospitals

America’s Hospitals and Health Systems

American Public Health Association

National Disability Rights Network

National Partnership Women and Families

National Physicians Alliance

Even state employees are united against this nightmare.

American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees

And that's just a partial list of groups opposing.

The media coverage of the opposition to the bill is mounting, also.

The Latest: Medical groups find fault 

with Senate plan - ABC News

Fortunately, even some Republicans in Congress realize this bill is a virtual train wreck, even for themselves, let alone us out here, their constituents.

Four GOP senators say they can't vote 

for Republican health care bill

Keeping in mind it only takes four of them defecting to kill the bill, too.

Senate GOP's health plan debuts 

amid doubts

The fact that they created this healthcare stealing, tax giveaway to the already-wealthy is bad and scary enough. Fortunately, the light of day and information about it is swiftly creating opposition to it.

And rightly so.

Please contact your Congressional representative, especially any Republican. Tell them you're against this AHCA of theirs, that it takes away health care options from Americans--because it does--while it gives yet more tax cuts to the already-wealthy and corporations.

Thank you, in advance.

Shifting Dollars From Poor to Rich 

Is a Key Part of the Senate Health Bill

Extremely predictable

This week, the President has really gone after a health care solution for the country, that's for sure.

His You Tube video last Saturday kicked it off and it's been a steady drumbeat ever since.

God bless him.

We need this and his solution badly.

Unfortunately, corporate America and a lot of doctors, at minimum, want nothing of it.

The absolutely don't want to kill their gravy train that is unrestrained price increases in the current system.

But it's killing us and it's killing the system.

It's broken. It doesn't work.

Millions of us have little or no coverage.

The mortality rate in the United States is rated number 37 in a worldwide ranking.

But don't tell some Americans that.

Corporate America has convinced them that the last thing they want is "Socialized medicine."

Well, I have news for them--"Capitalist medicine" isn't working, by a long shot. It's health care for the wealthy.

Anyway, the American Medical Association (AMA) came out this week, firmly against the President's plan.

No surprise. No surprise at all. This is to be expected.

The last thing they want to do is restrict their ability to make hundreds of thousands--or millions--of dollars, all on their patient's backs.

We need to get behind this remake of the American health care system, folks.
