It is not that the GOP wants to abolish the ACA it is that they are more than enthusiastic about stealing health care away from millions of Americans. They are sentencing to misery, bankruptcy and early death to countless numbers of Americans who will lose coverage. Their actions will result in Americans delaying or stopping life critical health care. Their actions will cause millions of Americans to reduce or stop taking life saving drugs resulting in more serious and even death causing illness.
The GOP is more than ok and sickly is actually over joyed at killing probably 20,000 Americans as we move forward. These looming death sentences will be a fact that the MSM will conveniently ignore and even bury. So the GOP will kill perhaps 250,000 Americans over the next ten years when they commit murder for all actual purposes.
Trump is also complicit in that he is also enthusiastic to end the ACA. And there will be nothing to replace it. The GOP knows their policy is just a load of crap that will never work.
So here we are. And I I don't care if Trump lovers get sick and die first if it is as bad as it looks like it will be. We are facing the mother of all health care crises. And it will be particularly bad when they "deform" veteran's care, Medicare, Medicaid et al.
Even now with we are seeing thousands of Americans die each year prematurely because they cannot get treatment.

(10,602 posts)The GOP needs to be threatened with demonstrations right at their private homes and that they cannot even go to lunch without someone getting in their ugly faces. They will just screw and kill everything unless we revolt on them PERSONALLY.
This fight is a PERSONAL fight for survival and they must know that they will be really miserable and will have fear. They really are at WAR with the American people. We must respond to that.
As a vet I believe it is war when they say they want to dismantle health care for vets GOD DAMN IT!!!!!

(4,483 posts)for what we must do to them. You're right; they're riding high on this pseudopopulist bullshit about the "left behind" in America. We must show them that those of us who understand the foundations of this country will not allow these fuckers to destroy all we stand for.
The Trump supporters who felt excluded from government and the Democratic party were not shut out by us. Liberal Democrats have always fought for the underdog, the truly forgotten and left behind. They chose to follow a trashy reality TV star and bigoted know-it-all who is too stupid to be interested in finding out what he doesn't know, maybe because so many of them don't want to pay attention to the boring nuts and bolts of how democracy works. The Trump supporters I know to a man were concerned that Hillary would take their guns away. Not one of them understood how difficult it is to change or repeal an Amendment to the Constitution, or were interested in finding out how that--the most important issue for them--would work.

(10,602 posts)Rep Rostankowski really pissed of seniors near the end of his career. They chased him out of his town hall meeting and trapped him in his care because he wanted to screw with Social Security and Medicare. The public is going to have to terrorize these guys personally otherwise they are going to really fuck everyone because they believe they are invincible and cannot be touched.
They need to feel the terror like a badly beaten dog. Sorry but they are at war with the rest of us.

(4,483 posts)but I am just crazy enough to confront these fuckers in person. I am a sweet old lady of 70, and I can brandish my cane and curse at the same time. They better watch out for me, because I have a Prius and a lot of time on my hands.

To bad they can't just inflict it on only those who voted for them.

(25,927 posts)or meet with constituents, they need to be asked, "Why exactly do you think it's a good idea to take away health care from people?" And the questioners need to keep on asking for an answer, not let them get away with bs about somehow taking it away will make it better.

Most Americans will be far more outraged about a person less deserving than themselves getting an extra half scoop of ice cream, than they will be about a super rich person stealing the ice cream factory and tripling ice cream prices.

(60,082 posts)If they kill the ACA without a viable replacement in place, there will never be a replacement under their rule. They will sentence innocents to an early death and saddle families with back breaking debt.
