No way he ran on healthcare and childcare. Maybe im dumb and dont remember, but maga is very much against aca and medicare for all, and any kind of socialized service.
If you were saying he ran on "no new wars", sure.
He ran on "LET ME TELL YOU, IT'S GREAT, VERY GREAT, IT'S THE BEST, IT'S VERY BEST, YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE, THE FAKE NEWS MEDIA, EVERYTHING FAKE, I'M AWESOME, THE MOST AWESOME, THE BEST MOST AWESOME, MANY PEOPLE SAY"
And people literally fell for that shit. That was his whole program.
Trump ran on "It sucks now, and I have a concept of a plan for the best healthcare ever".
Trump spoke towards a truth we all feel about how bad it is, then lied about the cause and what he was going to do, democrats told us better things aren't possible, america is already great, but if you vote for us, we miiight consider doing .01% less genocide.
People fell for it because the alternative "Shut the fuck up and vote for tax cuts for small business owners and The Most Lethal Military Evar!" is too depressing.
I hear your point.
He actually said that, he said that with his magic tariffs ™ there will be billions available for daycares https://apnews.com/article/trump-economy-harris-corporate-taxes-15ba5ecfdf5e907bd9b2c349b07222b8
Im pro medicare for all, but im anti aca. The ACA raised my health insurance massively. I paid 6k a year in 2012, and now i pay 36k a year.
Forcing everyone to pay into for profit health insurance doubled healthcare in a few years.
The average health insurance cost per person should not be 18k a year, no one should be paying 36k a year like i do.
My point is I really doubt he ran on a pro-healthcare pro-daycare platform. I could be wrong, but I would be shocked to learn otherwise.
He made statements that we’d have the money to pay for things if we didn’t go to war.
So to now say that we can’t pay for something because of war is in direct contrast.
I don't think trump ran on pre healthcare or prodaycare either, and I'm pretty sure Republicans are anti paying for that stuff in general.
How much did you pay in 2015 though?
How much of your increased payment is because of Trump et al?
How much are you paying now?
My plan is 36,468 per year for kiaser HMO.
I pay monthly, $3039. It for the kaiser family plan. It's for me, my wife, and two kids.
...
You pay $3039 PER MONTH for health insurance?
