[-] Bdtrngl@lemmy.world 27 points 2 weeks ago

Trumpcare is coming annnnnnny day now.

[-] vegeta@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

He already released a very thick and comprehensive binder of it. It had many pages. Some said, Sir this is the most pages we have every seen in a healthcare plan binder.

[-] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 weeks ago

This page intentionally left black x 1500

[-] TimLovesTech@badatbeing.social 12 points 2 weeks ago

He is going to bundle it with infrastructure week!

[-] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 104 points 2 weeks ago

The same IVF that his running mate voted against protecting access to?

[-] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 55 points 2 weeks ago

i'd be surprised if those two chucklefucks even talk to each other

[-] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Have they actually been seen in the same place? I've not personally seen an image with the two of them, but I'm not looking either

Edit: They did campaign together

[-] linearchaos@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

Would you imagine anyone wanting to talk to either of them?

[-] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 3 points 2 weeks ago

I can think of a few people... Maybe only a few dozen million, but they're out there.

[-] Rapidcreek@lemmy.world 73 points 2 weeks ago

His ship is sinking. Here come the chicken-in-every-pot promises to try to stop the hemorrhaging.

[-] jonne@infosec.pub 19 points 2 weeks ago

And the evangelicals are going to make him walk it back within days as well.

[-] Myxomatosis@lemmy.world 56 points 2 weeks ago

Haven’t Republicans been attacking IVF and isn’t planned to be banned under Project 2025?

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 20 points 2 weeks ago

Yes but Trump has been trying to distance from it by saying he might need to workshop some of it

[-] Myxomatosis@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

Absolutely pathetic so par for the course for him.

[-] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

The government will cover the costs of the zero IVF treatments that legally occur.

[-] Blackout@fedia.io 46 points 2 weeks ago
[-] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 28 points 2 weeks ago

Because he prefers people who didn't get cancer.

[-] acetanilide@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Well if you don't test for it then you won't have it. So there's no need to cover any treatment because it will no longer exist whenever Trump is ~~king~~ president

[-] Gimpydude@lemmynsfw.com 18 points 2 weeks ago

Because cancer isn't big in the news. He thinks this will improve his "ratings"

[-] grue@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

Because he's pandering to the "quiverfull" and "great replacement" lunatics.

[-] linearchaos@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Checks the GOP lobby card.

Yep, too much money in it...

[-] normalexit@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Why cancer and why not everything we know how to treat?

[-] return2ozma@lemmy.world 39 points 2 weeks ago

Keyword "says". He's lying.

[-] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 22 points 2 weeks ago

Maybe if Trump keeps saying progressive things. Kamala will copy some of those too

It's 2024 in American politics, crazier shit has happened

[-] paf0@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

Maybe we could pay for it with Kamala's old Medicare for All plan or Mayor Pete's "Medicare for All Who Want It"?

Let's be clear though, Trump isn't going to do those things. He'll just say whatever it takes to stay out of prison.

[-] dirthawker0@lemmy.world 19 points 2 weeks ago
[-] Lightor@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

No, no, no.

It's like Go Fund Me for health care, but we all put money into a single account and when someone needs it they just.... wait a minute....

[-] BigMacHole@lemm.ee 16 points 2 weeks ago

That SOUNDS like Socialism but its NOT because TRUMP said it! If Kamala said it it would be DEMOCRAT SOCIALISM INDOCTRINATING YOUR KIDS!

[-] garpujol@discuss.online 2 points 2 weeks ago

Republicans are like a cat chasing string. No offense to cats.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago

For those confused about how this jives with the GOP's general hatred of women, consider the following:

[-] MyOpinion@lemm.ee 15 points 2 weeks ago

Well you can't since it involves killing babies according to your wack job base.

[-] Lightor@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago

What happened to the "I don't want to pay for other people's health care" reasoning against Obamacare?

[-] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 weeks ago

"Government or insurance companies"

... that sounds like socialism to me!

[-] TimLovesTech@badatbeing.social 4 points 2 weeks ago

He is giving insurance companies the choice, and for that reason they are going to pass.

[-] CMDR_Horn@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Well once he bans it then the gov can spend unlimited amounts of money on 0

[-] Doomsider@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Oh, is it opposite day again!? No wait, he is just trying to stay out of jail....
