We are in trouble. Some Republicans don't see the connection between
healthcare and good health.
Brief conversation with a Republican:
Him: I agree with Trump on healthcare. Let ObamaCare fail. Let it blow up.
Me: But people are going to die without healthcare.
Him: They're dying anyways. Not everyone can afford healthcare.
Me: But Trump hasn't offered a plan to replace it and people are not going to be willing to let go of something without knowing what the long game is for Trump. (Because, lets face it, the only long game for Republicans is to do away with government, make it smaller by reducing its obligations and give the money back to their donors.)
Him: It doesn't matter because it's the insurance companies who are calling the shots. They're the ones who are withdrawing.
He kept going off tangent, jumping around issues that he felt comfortable with. He mentioned Loretta Lynch by name three times.
We almost need a playbook to make these conversations productive and worthwhile.
