Trump admin argues entire ACA should be thrown out, incl pre-existing conditions

Donald Trump stands for teh most costly system of medical care in the world, one that gets mediocre results, and that prices people into the grave if they lack the funds. This is the way of the economic sadist.

The Mueller Report (which the public hasn't seen) unsurprisingly has emboldened the administration to go even further. That's what people were failing to see. Anything that this crazy person perceives to be good pushes him further over the edge into doing more insane things that pushes the narrative even further against him. This obsession with repealing health care is insanity.

I saw nothing in the Mueller investigations that could possibly suggest that Donald Trump could be 'fully exonerated'. I see an effort to suppress some damaging material. Maybe Trump supporters are unready to see an idol with clay feet, but most American adults already do.

Donald Trump is practically a Marxist stereotype of a capitalist; as a political leader, such is dangerous to capitalism itself. The best defense of capitalism is that it works for people who do not own the assets. The Marxist critique of bad capitalism, a system that serves only a few plutocrats, is a solid moral stance.

They could have sought:

1. "Sin taxes" on alcohol and tobacco to offset some of the damage that  those substances do. I(n essence, "abuser fees".

2. Tort reform on medical care. Such could reduce law suits and hence medical malpractice insurance.

3. Getting more people into medicine as GP's. That is the Cuban secret to keeping costs in line. See the GP more often, and perhaps one avoids the costly specialists that devour medical payments.

With the GOP, profits are the objective for all economic activity unless one does the real work.
