I think he believes he gets to keep that blood money from Saudi Arabia.

As for his South Korea claim....there is no agreement for them to pay a dime next year, because Trump could only negotiate a 1 year extension to the 5 year payment plan Obama negotiated. Contrary to Trump's ignorant lies, for >3 decades the cost sharing agreement has been negotiated on a 5 year basis with S. Korea paying the U.S. yearly, but Trump has been incapable of negotiating and today there's no payment agreement at all. Only 4% of South Koreans support paying what Trump's demanding, making his current near $5 billion demand (a 400%+ increase from last year) a clear deal killer....which might end our cooperative agreement with another ally.
Japan's cost sharing agreement is up for renegotiation next year, expect the same level of absolute failure in those negotiations and the loss of another ally and the loss of more US influence in the Pacific.

*promote exposing the ridiculously easily debunked lies being used to hide the total failure to negotiate successfully.

Calling this bill 1000+ pages is absurd...have you -seen- the actual pages? There's generally two or three small paragraphs per page, that's it. If it were printed in normal fashion, it would be maybe 250-300 pages.

With that out of the way, let's start taking a look at these claims...

• Page 16: States that if you have insurance at the time of the bill becoming law and change, you will be required to take a similar plan. If that is not available, you will be required to take the gov option!

No it doesn't. It's defining the requirements for a "grandfathered in" healthcare benefit. IOW, it's trying to make sure that companies who currently offer crappy health insurance aren't required to upgrade it, while at the same time preventing those who -do- offer decent insurance from downgrading it below the new minimum coverage standards. It has -nothing- to do with your choice of insurance.

• Page 22: Mandates audits of all employers that self-insure!

Nope, wrong again. It orders a study of the differences and similarities between typical insured and self-insured plans. That's all. A "study" is not even close to the same as "audits of all employers..."

• Page 29: Admission: your health care will be rationed!

Three for three. This page talks about setting out-of-pocket maximums on copays and other cost-sharing mechanisms. Has absolutely -nothing- to do with rationing care.

• Page 30: A government committee will decide what treatments and benefits you get (and, unlike an insurer, there will be no appeals process)

This one's at least -close- to the topic on the page, albeit with some serious deficiencies in accuracy. Let's call it 3.5 wrong out of 4. There will be a committee. The committee -recommends- the covered benefits for the various coverage types (there are three). The committee must allow for public input into these recommendations, which is one hell of a lot more than an insurance company allows. Personally, I'd rather have input up front, than try to get the coverage changed when I'm in the middle of dying without treatment (which is the insurance company's standard operating procedure).

• Page 42: The "Health Choices Commissioner" will decide health benefits for you. You will have no choice. None.

4.5 out of 5 wrong now. This is just a flat-out lie. Nothing on that page has anything to do with who is choosing your benefits.

• Page 50: All non-US citizens, illegal or not, will be provided with free healthcare services.

5.5 wrong for 6. Another flat-out lie. Nothing about this is free, and nothing here says diddly-squat about illegal aliens. It does say that it doesn't change the rules established by "title XXVII of the Public Health Service Act" or state law. So, I suppose that if one of those says we have to provide free healthcare to non-citizens, then we would still need to do so. However, this document just flat does not make that statement.

I mean really...do I need to go on? Every one of the issues on the first 50 pages is bullshit. Where did you find this? Rather obviously, it was on WorldNetDaily or some such wingnut site. Frankly, it took all of 15 minutes to figure out that it was all wrong, too. I can see where that might be too difficult for a conservative, though...thinking is hard, isn't it?
