Good question and probably another thread. There are issues with simply repealing it immediately. One group who would be hurt would be those who obtained coverage through ACA that would not qualify under traditional plans. It's not as simple as simply canceling it.

 

He has said repeatedly that it would not be repealed until there was something to replace it, there would be no gap in coverage. Also said that preexisting condition coverage would be part of it.

 

Have you not read that or just ignoring it for political purposes?

I assume we would not since I don't believe Mrs Kerry owns any portion of the company.

 

Would he benefit monetarily if Kraft Heinz did better business? I suspect not since his wife cashed out her stock.

 

She didn't cash out until 2013, when he was running for President she was still raking in the ketchup money.

I'm glad to know that you value investigative journalism.

 

Let's assume that the Russians really are behind WikiLeaks (I don't believe that, but for the moment I'll grant you the point).

 

Woodwardinov and Bernsteinovich didn't INVENT Clinton's corruption, they simply reported on it. HOW they found their "Deep Throat" isn't the issue. It's WHAT that source revealed that is the important thing.

 

Russia's political motivation and the content of the emails are separate topics. Consider Snowden. We are going to debate the NSA’s surveillance programs whether or not he is pardoned, remains in Russia’s care, or comes home to be prosecuted. No one (I’m aware of) is demanding the emails be suppressed. That the leaks temporarily embarrassed Clinton does not absolve Russia of trying to kick sand in our eye.

Assuming she didn't cash out if he won, then it would have been fair game. But, with only a 4% stake she wasn't in a position to shape the company's decisions. If I remember correctly, it was a frequent topic during the campaign, with Republicans boycotting Heinz ketchup (I think you could even buy "W" ketchup from Bush's campaign).

I agree that it was silly.

 

How does or could Trump ever separate himself from the Trump brand that would satisfy you and those that still can't get their head around his presidency?

 

If you were put in charge of it today, what would you put in place or do to separate Trump from his vast holdings so there would be no discussion of anything improper?

So what do we do now, if Russia kicked sand...do we retaliate, if so what should President Obama do?

401K? Some should be worried about health insurance.

 

I just want MY health insurance to go back where it was before ObamaCare. Remember Obama promised if I liked my plan I could keep my plan?

I agree that it was silly.

In another thread I said I wasn't necessarily bothered by him keeping his business. Stocks are easier to sell and re-invest. But it's incumbent on him to avoid the appearance of using his office to benefit his business.

So what do we do now, if Russia kicked sand...do we retaliate, if so what should President Obama do?

 

This is a bigger question than I can answer, but it should not go unchallenged and it should color our views of Russia's interests. Russia was not seeking to help us, and this recent escalation meshes with their policy of American/Western antagonism.

Are you new to BGP?

 

Do you think I don't read articles and studies before I post something? You think I just make crap up?

 

Let's go to this thread so we don't bog this one down.

During the campaign all he would say was that he was going to do away with it. After the election is when he began softening his tone.

Then why the fear mongering from you about people losing their insurance.

 

Yes I expect more from you than the normal biased rhetoric we see from so many.

During the campaign all he would say was that he was going to do away with it. After the election is when he began softening his tone.

 

When asked point blank, he has been very clear that no part would be repealed until there is something in place to replace it.

That's the question, how do we challenge it?
