Hiltzik: Republicans hate Obamacare because they hate healthcare – Los Angeles Times

Here’s a pair of handy rules of thumb to know we’re heading into a major election cycle: (1) Republican candidates start talking about the need to repeal the Affordable Care Act, and (2) none of them bothers to say how that will make American healthcare better.

Sure enough, in just the last couple of weeks, Donald Trump has said he’s “seriously looking at alternatives” to the ACA, asserting that “the cost of Obamacare is out of control, plus, it’s not good Healthcare.”

Ron DeSantis, running for second place behind Trump in the race for the GOP presidential nomination in 2024, said Sunday on “Meet the Press” that he advocated having a plan that will “supersede Obamacare, that will lower prices for people so that they can afford healthcare while also making sure that people with preexisting conditions are protected.” He called it “a totally different healthcare plan.”

WHAT WILL BE OF ME


What will be of me

if this silence follows me

despite it being December

and my wandering steps go.

Where are you going,

What directions do they follow?

or have they simply been left behind,

so far from January,

left behind in memories

where laughing was not difficult

and in a stone you found support.

What will be of me.

I'll be back before nightfall.

There will be someone at the portal.

A hot soup,

a blessing to me,

or I'll just come back

on the footprint of my steps,

undecided but latent.


LMML.
