Irony: Trump, coal miners, and Obamacare

[Rochard]

Saw this on CNN while I was making myself lunch today... Coal miner worked in the mines most of his life, voted for Trump because he believed Trump was going to being jobs back to the coal mines. Shortly after voting he discovered he has "black lung" disease. Now he is afraid with Trump in office he will lose his Obamacare.

Chances are the jobs will never come back to the coal miners anyhow.

Fuck your Obamacare. Doctors are overpaid and don't serve half of what they make.

You don't deserve what you make either.

Government paid medical school, medical technical schools and nursing schools and a one payer national healthcare -- Medicare for all and the prices have to be regulated somehow.

3 of my cousins are Specialist MDs -- their educations were very expensive. Their insurance costs are very high. The system adds a lot of overhead. Next time you need surgery hire a plumber ...

Here's the deal:
1) UMWA Miners enjoy awesome medical benefits until the day they die and even then, their surviving spouse will continue to have them.
2) If they are speaking about the cash stipend that was awarded for miners with black lung, that has absolutely NOTHING to do with Obamacare. I'm very familiar with black lung benefits and Miners health insurance. Check The Black Lung Act of 1973..... and you will see that this was a federal law nearly 40 years before Obamacare.

I think this may just be a few miners who are trying to game the system by trying to get benefits they don't deserve!! And of course the Clinton news network CNN tries to blame Trump. I'm surprised it's not Russia's fault somehow lol
