Ya, I'm sure he's haunted by all those dead presidents, living in the White house with his finger on the button as the leader of the free world. Much better to haunted by Hillary as president.

This is exactly what has caused this. For the most part, the majority of liberals and conservatives work together on a daily basis and get along just fine. It's not until we go home and troll the internet that we find so much hate/discontent. It's just meaningless entertainment - a way to pass the time - yet we still take that displaced anger to the polls, or even worse, to the streets and kill someone over some political bullshit that doesn't even directly affect our lives. . .

On a serious note, one of the issues with this plan is that once a person on "expanded" medicaid (not those on disability or that truly need/deserve it) will lose their benefits once they achieve a status that disqualifies them, forever. For example, under the current law, if you receive $2000+ in any one month, then you are disqualified from receiving medicaid. But, basically, you can then re-apply when that money is gone and be accepted again under the qualifications for "expanded" medicaid. Under the proposed system, once you are disqualified, you won't be able to come back under the qualifications for expanded medicaid. On the surface, I think thats reasonable, but what's not reasonable are the terms that will disqualify you and ultimately terminate your insurance permanently. For example, if you bust yours ass at a dead end job for one month and just happen to break $2000, or receive an inheritance of $2000 dollars in one month, it will disqualify you for that month, and then there is no recourse to get it back for the rest of the year/life. If this plan were to go into effect, then it should loosen the qualifications and/or disqualifications. . . for example, rather than disqualifying a person for making $2000 in one month, disqualify them for making $2000 in 12 consecutive months, which would be above the poverty line. I think the current qualification for medicaid expansion is for those under 19k. Hope that makes sense.

Obama ordered a burger with mustard and a supposedly serious news show host dedicated an entire segment to slamming him over it. Trump more scrutinized? Sorry, don't see it. Was that scrutinization televised on primetime TV throughout the entire world on a daily basis?
