      "Coverage." Just ONE post ago he said "care." Coverage =/= care.https://twitter.com/ThePlumLineGS/status/820807039962251267 …

      Reminder: No matter how much BS Trump/Rs spew, at some point Trump becomes the guy who kicks millions off coverage: http://wapo.st/2jnkSAk  https://twitter.com/ThePlumLineGS/status/820805175594151937 …

      We don't know which Trump is talking about. He uses both -- coverage ("insurance for everybody") and "great health care"

      and he uses "soon" Soon for him means not soon.

      Marcy's point is that I shouldn't conflate coverage and health care. True! But we don't know which Trump even meant

      accepted! Just can't believe a fabulist because you don't know which is real and which is not.

      I think that 1) the ACA is worth defending; and that 2) it is flawed and that single payer would be better

      I agree with both those points. I also think 1/2 @DemFromCT

      3) One BIG reason people are disappointed in it is bc ACA boosters promised care and offered coverage. @DemFromCT

      4) Moreover, they dismissed known affordability problems (cf RomneyCare) by conflating these terms. @DemFromCT

          Yes, that is true. Much of the reporting bears this out.

          Which is why people like me who were silenced during debate are absolutely entitled to say we told you so. @DemFromCT

          I'm saying there were conversations about that, yes. We had to be shut up in December 2009, apparently. @DemFromCT
