I guess he needs to pass the bill so he can find out what's in it. “You’ve heard about the controversies, the process about the bill…but I don’t know if you’ve heard that it is legislation for the future – not just about health care for America, but about a healthier America,” she told the National Association of Counties annual legislative conference, which has drawn about 2,000 local officials to Washington. “But we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it – away from the fog of the controversy.”

Trump shows a similar grasp of detail in describing his view of the bipartisan health care legislation from Sens. Patty Murray (D-WA) and Lamar Alexander (R-TN): Trump has no information about, interest in, or knowledge of the substance of the bill. Instead, he judges it entirely on the basis of his personal impressions of the legislators involved. Except while he vouches that Alexander is “a fine man,” he hasn’t bothered to get to know Murray at all, even though she’s the top Democrat on the committee with jurisdiction over health care and health care was his main legislative initiative for the first nine months of his administration. www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/10/23/16522456/trump-bartiromo-transcript

This is the kind of gibberish that a person with dementia would say. His lack of interest in the details is bad enough but when you layer in his obviously rotting away brain, this whole thing becomes a lot more dangerous.

Except I'd believe that a person suffering with dementia could have, at an earlier point, had an idea about which they're talking. Not so much with President Trump. He doesn't even feign interest in the issues any longer.

Sadly (for the nation), this is a real possibility. Bob Corker says Trump is "devolving". www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/dementia/symptoms-causes/syc-20352013

Trump makes George Bush sound like a genius.

Appreciate the attention it got yesterday but "Just say no" without any new funding combined with cuts to Medicaid doesn't seem like it will do much. Think pols underestimate how big this problem is right now....

Lol...
You are not serious about dealing with the opioid crisis if you're trying to gut Medicaid.

People who told us Obama lacked experience are quite pleased that Trump is President and Jared Kushner is setting policy.

Everybody in my generation knows someone who died as a result of this drug... A confidential Justice Department report found Purdue Pharma was aware early on that its OxyContin was being crushed and snorted, but continued to promote it as less addictive. Purdue Pharma knew about “significant” OxyContin abuse in its first years on the market but continued to market Oxy as “less prone to abuse and addiction than other prescription opioids" anyway, per DOJ report thebea.st/2IULzg7

Actually fighting to strip Americans of pre-existing condition protections and to sell us junk insurance. Of course Trump said he wouldn't do this but nobody's shocked Trump told a lie....

1 trillion in tax cuts for me, Junk insurance for thee....
Sabrina Corlette, a research professor at Georgetown University: “Many consumers will buy these plans thinking they are getting a great deal, before seeing the final rule. But if they need health care services and the bills start to pile up, they’ll quickly discover that these plans cover very little.”
Imagine that...

That's perfect. Should have seen that coming.
The amazing part to me is how freely and easily doctors still prescribe this crap. I've had them (or derivatives) prescribed on two occasions. One for a surgery (gall bladder) that, in all honesty, didn't really require any pain meds at all and I didn't take any of them out of fear. The other was even more egregious. I tore a meniscus playing soccer with my nephews. It was certainly uncomfortable for a few days but I limped my ass into work the following day without much issue. I continue to be shocked when my parents tell me about the meds they get prescribed for the "horrific" condition of getting older. My father is a stubborn s.o.b. and won't take anything and he's always been that way. My mother is the exact opposite. If a doctor tells her to take something, she follows the orders to the letter (my mom is probably far smarter than my father and me) which scares the crap out of me at this point.

If there's a state in the union that desperately needs rehab clinics that are covered by health care plans, it's West Virginia. People in general and kids, in particular, are dying at an alarming rate due to opioids. I very much hope that they cast votes in their own best interests.
