Rep. Byron Donalds’ solution for Americans losing their healthcare because of GOP policies and their craven decision to allow the ACA subsidies to expire is simply to believe in Trump.
Leaving one’s healthcare on the faith that Trump will do something is incoherent, dangerous and frankly unfathomable.
Rep Donalds and the entire Republican party is so devoid of ideas on how to fix healthcare in America, they are telling many of their own voters to stick their heads in the sand, pray to Trump and you’ll feel better because of a flimsy ceasefire? If they didn’t have any ideas before, they’re not going to have them now. They’ve never wanted Americans to have broad access to healthcare, instead believing everyone should become a slave to corporate gods offering healthcare. So much for small business.
COATES: Well, given what you’ve described, it sounds as though the trust is fundamentally broken down, such that negotiating or believing the other side would actually come to the table appropriately isn’t there.
And I do wonder, given statements from your colleagues like Marjorie Taylor Greene and others, that you seem to have a great deal of faith in your Republican colleagues to come to the table and come correct.
But coulda, shoulda, woulda for Democrats is not the plan. Is that the only recourse? Or Republicans have a plan to actually come to the table along with Democrats, assuming they do what you want and come back to the table?
