The boomerang snark

It is very embarrassing when a snarky jibe actually gets turned around to skewer the person making it.

How embarrassing when the standard “I know you are, but what am I” results in the target of the attempted cleverness responding chapter and verse with facts and anecdotes informing you exactly what you are.

In the Republican world of “Yeah, but”, where no one attempts to counter any charge with facts but, instead, brings up other people’s irrelevant actions, when responding to the near universal condemnation of the Trumpcare plan, the official Twitter account of the Republican Party begged Hillary Clinton for her plan to fix Obamacare.

If you ignore the sound bites and the selective reports about the failure of Obamacare, you will see that when it was first passed, those responsible for it said that the ACA would, over time, need some fine tuning.

Rather than repeal and replace the whole thing, it has been recommended that the ACA be examined so that those parts that needed adjustment would be adjusted, while those things that don’t need any adjustment could be left alone.

But the GOP had tried for 7 years to repeal and replace, and when they got control over the White House and both Houses of Congress it became obvious they had actually done nothing about the replace part although they had taken over 55 votes on the repeal.

In response to the criticism and to deflect people’s attention away from this, the GOP tried to make Hillary Clinton look bad by sending an official tweet asking,

“”Where’s your plan, @HillaryClinton?”

Her response was to invoke reality.

The Nyah, Nyah moment was crushed when Hillary Clinton responded that her plan was where it had always been, on her campaign website.

“Right here. Includes radical provisions like how not to kick 23 mil ppl off their coverage. Feel free to run w/it.”

Either, while attacking her during the campaign, the GOP never bothered to check out her website, or they somehow simply forgot.

This is what the GOP challenged Hillary to come up with and which has been available since September 2015.

As president, Hillary will:

  • Defend and expand the Affordable Care Act, which covers 20 million people. Hillary will stand up to Republican-led attacks on this landmark law—and build on its success to bring the promise of affordable health care to more people and make a “public option” possible. She will also support letting people over 55 years old buy into Medicare.
  • Bring down out-of-pocket costs like copays and deductibles. American families are being squeezed by rising out-of-pocket health care costs. Hillary believes that workers should share in slower growth of national health care spending through lower costs.
  • Reduce the cost of prescription drugs. Prescription drug spending accelerated from 2.5 percent in 2013 to 12.6 percent in 2014. It’s no wonder that almost three-quarters of Americans believe prescription drug costs are unreasonable. Hillary believes we need to demand lower drug costs for hardworking families and seniors.
  • Protect consumers from unjustified prescription drug price increases from companies that market long-standing, life-saving treatments and face little or no competition. Hillary’s plan includes new enforcement tools that make drug alternatives available and increase competition, broaden emergency access to high-quality treatments from developed countries with strong safety standards, and hold drug companies accountable for unjustified price increases with new penalties.
  • Fight for health insurance for the lowest-income Americans in every state by incentivizing states to expand Medicaid—and make enrollment through Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act easier.
  • Expand access to affordable health care to families regardless of immigration status. Hillary will expand access to affordable health care to families regardless of immigration status by allowing families to buy health insurance on the health exchanges regardless of their immigration status.
  • Expand access to rural Americans, who often have difficulty finding quality, affordable health care. Hillary will explore cost-effective ways to make more health care providers eligible for telehealth reimbursement under Medicare and other programs, including federally qualified health centers and rural health clinics.
  • Defend access to reproductive health care. Hillary will work to ensure that all women have access to preventive care, affordable contraception, and safe and legal abortion.
  • Double funding for community health centers, and support the healthcare workforce: As part of her comprehensive health care agenda, Hillary is committed to doubling the funding for primary-care services at community health centers over the next decade. Hillary also supports President Obama’s call for a near tripling of the size of the National Health Service Corps.
