Don ran an excellent Presidential campaign that focused on core issues as "bad" (when they weren't) and stirring up so much anti Hillary sediment. While doing this, he confused rural Americans into thinking because he was a businessman, he was the "only one who can fix it" person.
(The problem with this is that throughout US history, businessmen who became president are some of the worst presidents ever! (Don't believe me? Look it up.)
And, this: "I'm the only one who can fix it" attitude, enabled him to confuse and con the rural Americans into voting for him. They (apparently) goose-stepped to the polls thinking he was going to be able to do what no other President would or could do.
(Boy, did these rural Americans get conned. The majority of rural counties (+/-3,100) voted for Don; whereas, the majority of Urban counties (+/-57) voted for Hillary.)
And all during the 2016 Presidential campaign, Don kept saying how bad the Affordable Care Act (Obama care) was. And, by doing this, he convinced rural Americans that the insurance that was actually helping them, was horrible for them.
However, the problem with Obama care, according to the Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan, was that insurers systematically pulled out of states -- thus enabling one insurer to have a monopoly within that state, that enabled them to charge more money in that state, thus the monthly increase in their premiums. (And, they were able to do this because of the limited, or very, very weak Federal Regulation.) And because there was no mandate stating: "You must provide insurance to all," They decided that they weren't making enough money.
Through the years, I've asked why there is no Federal Regulation for Insurers -- just as there is for Federal Mortgages, etc. You've heard of the 'Equal Opportunity' line when applying for a mortgage, right?
So, why is there no Equal Opportunity for Insurance?
Paul Ryan explains why ACA Premiums increased
The reason is: the insurers don't want any Federal Regulation on their industry, so they continually lobby and contribute (pay off) to Congress person elections to avoid being regulated.
The problem is: Insurers are in the business of making money. They truly don't care whether or not you are healthy; or, have adequate health care coverage, as long as you pay them your premium. That's all they want.
Oh, and if you want to have better coverage, or have a lower monthly premium, you must have a higher than normal deductible. (Does this sound about right?)
Affordable Care Act Explained
And, the protests we are seeing at Congressional Town Hall Meetings of these Congress persons from these rural American Counties, is having an affect on them. Even these supposed Non-College Educated rural Americans are finally realizing that they were conned, too.
These elected Congress persons or Senators are starting to feel the heat that repealing Obama care as Don has demanded -- or even changing it to what the insurers want -- will result in them NOT being re-elected.
This makes me think: Are these politicians Non-College Educated, too? It's obvious, they didn't understand the Affordable Health Care Act in the first place.
I know that Don still doesn't understand it. (He claims he doesn't like to read, so, I am guessing that he hasn't read it, nor has anyone around him.)
Don't Change My Health Insurance
So, all you politicians: Maybe it's time that you stop taking insurer's money and start focusing on your constituents, because if you don't; if you continue to support a bad president and his lame policies, you will be out of office the next election cycle.
Ignore Constituents and you are out!
Now, I knew that there was a huge campaign to 'Hate Hillary' this past Presidential Election. I just didn't think rural Americans would be so easily persuaded as they were.
PS: If running for president, please remember: "Democracy was never meant to be efficient."
