    Can you even imagine how the conservatives would have reacted if Obama had done something like this?

    This skidmark has to put his stupid name all over everything.

        Which, of course, was not called ObamaCare, it was called the Affordable Care Act. Conservatives created the nickname so they could just say it’s bad because Obama, and their voters would eat it up

          Exactly this. It was the cons that called it “Hillarycare” and “Obamacare” to try to make it all about the individual and their supposed vanity and how above their supposed station they are being, etc.

          Meanwhile, Donvict slaps his name right on the thing because he’s 100 times more vain than any Democrat they’ve ever accused of being vain. And the sister-fuckers are just fine with it.

          And when given 4 years to try and find a replacement, they spent it all stammering themselves and ultimately couldn’t find one.

          And this shit is going to be no more different. If Trump is going to expect people to pay 100k for visas, he’s going to expect Americans to pay 50k for a shot of insulin or 300 for acetaminophen. Something.

        It’s the ACA. “ObamaCare” was created as a nickname by Republicans to outrage their base. I don’t know if this post is supposed to have a /s, but if not, you fell for the propaganda, homie.

    Conveniently timed announcement given millions will lose their health coverage soon. These drugs can’t be purchased with insurance, but they’re listed at MSRP, so I’m going to guess that basically no one can use this.
