^ The London terror attack was terrible. :frown: I heard that an American man was among the 4 victims including a respected police officer. And 50 other people were injured. My condolences to the victims and their families.
Authorities seem to think the attacker, Khalid Masood, acted as a lone wolf.
I didn't hear about the attempted one in Belgium.

Lovely Linda Wrote:Another promise shot to H.There was a part of the bill that stated insurers could raise premium costs on elderly people and would allow cuts to Medicaid for low earners. So that bill had problems. I thought he wanted to do something about high premium costs and such. That's not likely the main reason it was shot down which you can thank the Freedom Caucus for. It probably wasn't conservative enough for them or it was too similar to the ACA.
Maybe Trump should hve done what I did and called the Marketplace who told me awhile back that
Obamacare was not going anywhere.
Seems Trump's inexperience is showing big time.
Would not surprise me one bit if the same things happens to tax reform.
The Elites are in control on both sides. That is why there is not a "dime's worth of difference".
Regardless, it would be way easier to make changes to the ACA rather than repealing it. If he tries to make a healthcare bill to meet the Freedom Caucus' criteria, he'll lose support from moderates and not gain it from Dems. Will be interesting to see what he will do next.
Trump's inexperience is showing a bit here. He must've thought it would be easier to get people to agree with him on ideas/plans than it actually is. He can't even get a lot of Republicans to agree with him. I mostly think his ways of approaching others just isn't working. This was a failure.

Medicaid has been getting worse over the years. Not worth having.
Trump needs to work on meds. Insurance does not want to pay.

Btw, am now on Mirtazapine. Seems to be helping.

But I wouldn't want it to go away. I know people who use it and need it, and a lot of people do so I disagree. That change would've negatively impacted low income people on Medicaid. He promised not to touch social benefits btw.

yep. Putin will leave no stone unturned to find the culprit,
in fact, he'll probably turn stones that weren't even there...
