Trump picks Tom Price to head Health and Human Services

[Captain N]

The vast majority of Trump voters were from the suburbs. He also won the white male college educated vote AND the white women college educated vote.

The vast majority of Clinton voters were from the cities. These areas are full of no-income, welfare-income, under educated voters.

You're aware that the United States is more than just White People, right?

But if you want to go with that argument he won the educated white vote by 3% (45% to 48%)

He also won the uneducated white vote by 37% (29% to 66%)

Clinton won the white college graduate female vote by 7% (51% to 44%)

She also won the non-white college graduate female vote by 53% (74% to 21%)

Clinton did win the $30,000 and less income bracket (53% to 40%) and also the $30,000-$49,999 (52% to 41%) which accounts for a pretty decent portion of the American Workforce. 51% make less than $30,000/year as is.

There was a very small differential in the income brackets between $50,000-$99,999 which favored Trump by 3% (49% to 46%) and from $100,000-$199,999 by a mere 1% (48% to 47%)

So tell me where in this vast majority you claim is there not going to be significant damage to the other people who voted for Trump?

I actually don't mind this pick. I would have liked someone with a bit more social science background for the 'human services' part of the job, but the medical background is nice to have.

Fantastic pick? You don't even know who this guy is.

Trumpers do that for every trump thread here, they treat him like you would treat a football team, or a worship him.

Anyway, America, enjoy him. Gratz on voting him in in the first place.

I'd say NASCAR but that's a lot of lefts.

Trump is content to do 180s on every position (drain the swamp, no lobbyists, etc) he's had EXCEPT for "how he's done business."

I agree with his ideas.

[Draco-Onis]

I agree with his ideas.

If he named the devil to a position you would be defending it.

[Kaleredar]

I agree with his ideas.

You agree with making gross negligence the medical standard while making decisions actively hated by practicing physicians?


Sure.

[Draco-Onis]

As long as the devil had good policies, I would.

Well at least you are honest, I can admire that.

[Kaleredar]

As long as the devil had good policies, I would.

I'm of fair certainty the only difference between Trump and the devil is that at least the devil has both wealth and taste.

[Deleted]

Okay... So what I can gather the guy has received around 750,000 dollars from health professionals, insurance companies and pharmaceuticals/health products in the last year, somehow I find the conflict of interest that he would have somewhat worrying.

[sarahtasher]

You know people, why outside the USA we have public healthcare even if people complain ''I don't need healthcare, why I should pay for it'' ?

Here come a staggering truth : yes, there are non-working people that used healthcare more than young fit people in the 20ies. Those leeches are called retired people.

The devil's not obese.

The devil's not obese.

And has normal sized hands and hair.

I was reading some more about him (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Pr...S._politician)) and then I saw this:

Tom Price opposes abortion and supported the proposed Protect Life Act, which would have denied Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) funding to health care plans that offered abortion (the PPACA already prevented public funding covering abortions) and allowed hospitals to decline to provide emergency abortion care.

If I were a woman I would be really, really pissed off with this.

THAT'S the red flag for women?

[Wyrt]

Well, America's healthcare is about to drop even further behind the rest of the developed world.

[Cthulhu 2020]

Oh those low-income Trump supporters -- It's a good thing they're against government handouts. I expect to see so many GoFundMe posts for their medical bills over the next four years with this guy in charge.

Yeeeeeeeeep

Trumpkins oppose hand outs... until it's THEIR hand outs you're touching. Then it's "Fuck no you can't touch my government socialism!"

[Arenis]

I'm not entirely sure what you mean, but if a woman would need emergency abortion and the hospital declined, that would be pretty fucked up in my book?
