Obama makes fun of the typical Whitey response of "keep you government hands off my Medicare" : Oh and, Thanks Capitalism !
Gallup has Trump at 10%,even that seems high compared to how black voters have been voting since Trump took office. The same stability holds true for Trump's approval rating among black Americans. Gallup averages show Trump with a 10% approval rating among blacks in 2017, 11% in 2018 and 10% so far in 2019. In short, Trump's approval rating among blacks has essentially not changed over time, despite blacks presumably having had plenty of time to observe the economic gains that Trump touts as the reason why they should be moving into his camp. Approval ratings for an incumbent president have a significant relationship to actual election outcomes. I think it is fair to say that Trump's progress toward a substantially higher share of the black vote than he got in 2016 is in severe doubt if he maintains a 10% black approval rating. Notably, the last Republican president before Trump, George W. Bush, had a 14% approval rating among blacks in 2004 as he was seeking re-election. Bush received 11% of the black vote that November. Bottom Line The 2020 presidential election is almost a year away, and what happens next year will depend in part on who wins the Democratic nomination to face off against Trump -- whether it's one of the 17 Democratic candidates currently running (including three black Democrats) or potentially a new candidate jumping into the race at the last minute. But it appears very unlikely there will be a sudden breakthrough by which Trump gains a substantially higher percentage of the black vote than he got in 2016. Black Americans' approval of the job Trump is doing as president remains low, and the stability of these ratings since Trump took office suggests a low probability that the pattern will be significantly disrupted. The history of consistently low black voting for GOP candidates over the past four decades also underscores the structural challenge any Republican candidate faces in attempting to increase their black vote share. It's likely that black voters' enthusiasm and turnout in next year's election will be a much more important variable than the predictably high percentage of the vote black voters will give to the Democratic candidate.
I'm a "Twenner", that is some who is not rich, but who is not poor. Wasn't Obamacare about providing free healthcare to the poor? If the rich can afford either Obamacare or to self-fund and the poor don't pay, who is burdened by Obamacare? I'll wait a few seconds before giving the answer so some of our slower members can catch up. ... ... ... It is the Middle Class and small business owners who now are forced to pay healthcare insurance premiums. Young working class families and young entrepreneurs trying to start or run a new business are affected the most. Although Obamacare premiums are lower for this group than others, much of what responsible people are forced to pay is the irresponsility and substance abuse of others. In addition, healthcare insurance costs are a significant impediment for sole proprietor on small family businesses from growing into competative enterprises versus larger, more established corporations. In other words, Obamacare effectively reduces competitive pressures on larger businesses, which means slower innovation and higher prices for consumers. The rich get richer and the poor get more emphatic in supporting Democrats. Beautiful. Perhaps everyone is ultimately better served when resources are allowed to be allocated to the productive and people are allowed to make their own decisions regarding insurance. As the poor are concerned, maybe Bill Clinton and friends could hold a charity event like it was a third country disaster and raise money the poor S basic healthcare.
Whose decision to take that risk should it be? The individual's or the Government? Why should the productive and those who are trying to make a better live for themselves and their family's be forced to pay the costs for others? Why shouldn't there be a cost for the poor for healthcare, even if it is a nominal cost? Somehow, some way, cigarettes, alcohol, and illegal drugs get paid for by the poor, why not healthcare? A fee equivalent to a couple of packs of cigarettes, a 12 pack of beer or a couple of bottles of booze for each doctors visit should dissuade many of those who like to visit doctors for "recreational" reasons. This policy should significantly the load on our healthcare system, thereby improving quality and reducing costs.
When your unpaid for medical bills are passed on to everyone else the government.Remember when that was actually republicans position?

I know my position and have certaintly let it be known. As far as the Republcans are concerned, it would not surprise me: Doctor: "You have extensive metastatic cancer". Patient: "What are my treatment options"? Doctor: "Democrats or Republicans". Patient: "You have the number for Hospice"?
The Impeachment hoax is completely over and kaput. What remains now is how the Idiot Dems and Rinos decide to put it away logistically.
