This One Wants to Repeal ACA to Cut
Premium Costs
It is considered bad form to criticize
Trump voters for being stupid. But there comments just make not
doing so very difficult. Consider this from
a WSJ interview with a fellow from Kentucky.
“I’m
sick of them,” said Matthew Walters, a 58-year-old construction
worker who lives in Shelbyville, Ky., and has been eager for the GOP
to repeal the Affordable Care Act as his wife’s insurance premiums
jump. “They’ve said for six years if we get a Republican in the
White House we’re going to get this repealed. What is the problem?
What are the excuses? I’m sick of it. We elected Donald Trump for
change.”
What on God's green earth would ever
make this man think that repealing ACA would make premiums go down?
All of the analysis says they go up, just a matter of how much. And
without knowing what this gentleman does it is safe to assume that it
is likely he is getting some subsidies, which of couorse go away with
repeal.
There is no way a non-Trump politician
would get this person's vote, nor would any decent pol want it.
