Oh, for god's sake

"We had an audience of steel workers.  Some of the roughest, toughest people you've ever seen.  And half of 'em had tears coming down their face."

Sure.  Sure they did.

And what does this mean?

"We have also liberated millions of Americans from the crushing burdens of Obamacare. The cruel individual mandate penalty is gone. That's where you pay a lot of money for the privilege of not having to buy bad health care and pay for it. It's gone."

So people were (or now are?) having to pay a lot of money to NOT buy bad health care? And pay for it? Sarah, we're going to need a translation.

How about this one:

"You're gonna have great health care at a much lower price. It will cost the United States nothing. Nothing. Think of that. Will cost us nothing."

Because the United States isn't buying health care. U.S. citizens, however, ARE. It's costing us something. He just said it would be lower. But not nothing.

"And that's Secretary Acosta. Secretary Azar is coming out with another healthcare plan. Somehwat different. Result: the same. Much less expensive health care at a much lower price. It will cost our country nothing."

Uh-huh. Less expensive generally does translate to lower price. But, which health care plan is which and what do they entail? One is from Secretary Acosta and one is from Secretary Azar? Acosta is Secretary of Labor - what has he to do with health care? Azar is Secretary of Health and Human Services.



Sarah will tell us what it meant after they've all had a chance to think about it.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
