The Hero to the Stupid

Trump found a pen in the White House and as usual he used it for no damn good to sign his name to an executive order this time to repeal part of Obamacare. He would try to take away the American court system if he could. Instead of taking parts of healthcare away, why can’t he find a way just to make it cost us all less money? We all want healthcare for all but we need it to be affordable. Trump needs memory medicine because he forgot to sign the document after he thanked himself for the changes. What is wrong with this man?
Debra Ness, president of the National Partnership for Women & Families, said Mr. Trump’s “irresponsible” executive order “will loosen or eliminate critical consumer protections for certain health insurance plans, driving up the costs of premiums and making it harder for people, especially those with pre-existing conditions, to afford coverage.” The best part about Obamacare is that it offered healthcare to ALL of us, no matter what our illness was. The sickest folks got the most help because they need the most help. Not anymore!
A statement from the American Cancer Society said the order “jeopardizes the ability of millions of cancer patients, survivors and those at risk for the disease from being able to access or afford meaningful health insurance.” How does this help all those coal mining voters that you convinced to vote for you Donald? They all have cancer!
Trump surrounded by top administration officials, business leaders and Senator Rand Paul  the Republican from Kentucky, in the White House Roosevelt Room, praised his own executive order as steps towards repealing and replacing Obama’s health care law. The Republican led Congress hasn’t passed a bill to undo Obamacare so Trump is resorting to his “pen” instead to chip away at the plan that gives us all unconditionally healthcare.
So now if you are really sick just die because you will never be able to afford the treatments and medicine you need to have. Why won’t he get after the insurance companies or the drug companies or the hospitals that are just charging too much money for anything relating   to health care? That is what most Americans are upset about. This order offers no solution just more chaos and fear.
The President began to walk out of the room after congratulating himself as he often does this time without signing the order. Vice-President Mike Pence had to remind   him and usher him back to the desk where he found a pen.
The plan is now a confusing one with many options that you will have to seek to find healthcare. The president’s executive order is intended to make lower-premium plans more widely available. Trump hs long talked about his desire to make health insurance plans available across state lines. His order directs Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta to consider expanding access to association health plans, which could possibly allow American employers to form groups across state lines, according to the White House. The order could also allow employers in the same line of work to join together to offer health care to employees, no matter their state.
The president’s order, according to the White House, also directs the Labor Department, Treasury Department, and Health and Human Services Department to consider expanding coverage for short-term, limited duration plans that could be made available to people in specific circumstances, like if a person loses his job or misses the open enrollment deadline. Trump also cut the money that encourages people to sign up for health coverage.
Trump is the hero of the stupid. This executive order is likely to face backlash from medical groups and could very well face legal law suits. His way of fixing things is by throwing the wrong tools into the broken engine that needs help and not more confusion to all.
 Encourage his White House people to use the 25th Amendment to kick this guy out of office and stop reminding him to do what he says he wants to do that is catastrophic to all.
