Mystifying

I did finish binding my Delectable Pathways but it is drying now and not ready for pix. Come back tomorrow and there will be some.

On the 3rd of July Trump asked the Supreme Court to completely dismantle the Affordable Care Act. On the 4th of July holiday, Trump railed against terrorists and Marxists, Democrats, and assorted other groups but he did not address the rising Covid19 diagnoses. He promised to build a statue garden, one that he has already promised to defend with ten year sentences against anyone who injures a statue.

No health insurance? A statue? 50,000 Americans in three days have Covid19 and Trump wants to protect statues over people? Even Republican governor Greg Abbott is trying to put the cork back in the bottle because Texas opened up too soon and thousands of Texans are being taken to hospitals with thousands more coming soon, but Trump wants to protect statues. A ten year old in Florida died of the virus but Trump wants to protect statues.

None of us has any idea how this will end nor do we have any idea of how it might have been better managed if Trump had not been in charge. But all of us know that people are more important than statues.

  1. I support Trump. He did not take away insurance from people. The only part changed about ACA was Obama's requirement that everyone MUST buy insurance. CNN is misleading you. Please read governments documents.

    1. From May, 2020: "President Donald Trump reiterated his support Wednesday for repealing the Affordable Care Act, a move which could cause roughly 20 million Americans to lose health insurance at a time of unprecedented unemployment." From June 2020: "In the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, the Trump administration on Thursday urged the Supreme Court to overturn the Affordable Care Act."

      Trump most definitely wants to kill the ACA along with many other ideas supported by the previous administration. Neither of those quotes is from CNN and both are current. What hasn't changed is that the Supreme Court won't make a decision before November. All of us, however, can make our own decisions before November and advocate accordingly. So bless your heart for being wrong. At least you admit it.

  2. We are required by the bank to buy fire insurance when we get a mortgage. We are required by the state to buy auto insurance before we can register a car. Hospitals are required to treat everyone regardless of insurance status, but requiring people to have health insurance is too much???? Really????
