    “…..great healthcare to the American people”.

    No, they don’t, they’re insurance companies.

    Maybe these dudes all moonlight as surgeons, GPs and nurses. When they’re not busy denying claims.

    He thinks that a bunch of men who stand between people and health care providers are providing health care?

    That explains quite a lot.

    Yes, but what explains the fact that he thinks that???

    Perhaps it’s connected to his aversion to expertise and competence. Why leave health care decisions in the hands of health care providers? What do they know that somebody who knows the money end of things can’t override? Besides, sick people are losers.

    That photograph; the centrally posed main man surrounded by twelve lesser men. Anybody thinking of The Last Supper?

    Melania reciting The Lords Prayer at him; the soundtrack of Mine Eyes Have Seen played over scenes of his arrival in Melbourne; now this. Are his PR people really trying to deify the great leader?

    oh good god. I actually work for one of those companies – that’s our CEO, fourth from the left. He sent a company-wide email after the meeting. It was pretty anodyne. He said, “The President asked good questions,” which could mean anything.

    He definitely supports the ACA, that much I know.

    aaaaaand, I forgot to mention the thing I came here to say. Occasionally a health insurer is also a health care provider. Kaiser is the biggest of those that I know of.

    But yes, that’s usually not the case, so I think we can still conclude that Donnie doesn’t understand what insurance is.

    Well, Trump probably thinks that paying for something is the same thing as providing it. Money is his only form of communication, since he has no command of the English language beyond about third-grade level. (I apologize to any third graders out there; I know you can think better than this man, you’re still just developing the vocabulary to match your thoughts, but he only has the vocabulary to match his thoughts).

    Have you seen his recent televised ramblings on replacing the ACA?

    We have come up with a solution that’s really, really, I think very good. Now I have to tell you, it’s an unbelievably complex subject. Nobody knew that healthcare could be so complicated!

    You mean, apart from the “experts” you just mentioned, and everyone else in the fucking world?!?

    Of course he thinks he’s actually Making America Great Again, so this sort of delusional disconnect comes naturally.
