Pushing for Universal Health care is indeed a socialist desire.

CBO Projects Obamacare Repeal Would Leave 32 Million Uninsured By 2026

TPM
Aside from the abysmal morality of this, there's a very real electoral consequence for the GOP if they head in this direction. Blue collar and older demographics will be hit by this along with the poor and middle class. Because of the tax structures the GOP wants and is promising, the wealthy and very wealthy will gain and they'll be the only ones who do.

A Republican politician in Connecticut who was caught on a security camera pinching the genitals of a woman who he was arguing with about politics was arrested and charged with sexual assault last week, The Westport Weston reported.

...The woman lamented that "it was a new world politically" given Donald Trump's election, to which von Keyserling allegedly replied "I love this new world, I no longer have to be politically correct," according to the arrest warrant obtained by the paper.

Von Keyserling also allegedly called the woman "a lazy, bloodsucking union
employee," according to the warrant.

In any event the alternative is the collapse of ACA which will occur next year as losses and rates increase and more insurers withdraw from the exchanges.

Repealing the Affordable Care Act would result in 32 million Americans losing their health insurance by 2026, according to an analysis published Tuesday by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) and the Joint Committee on Taxation.

The CBO projected that the 2015 bill passed by Congress to repeal Obamacare, which would have immediately eliminated the individual mandate penalizing those who do not purchase insurance plans, would have resulted in 18 million people losing their health insurance in the first new health plan year.

In this report, the CBO examined the “Restoring Americans’ Healthcare Freedom Reconciliation Act of 2015,” which still forms the basis of the repeal effort. It covers what Republicans would be able to do under budget reconciliation, which only requires 50 votes in the Senate. The hitch, though, is that reconciliation bills can include only provisions that directly affect the budget. In this case that excludes parts of the ACA like the ban on insurers rejecting patients with preexisting conditions, since that doesn’t have a direct budgetary impact. So this isn’t an evaluation of the effects of everything Republicans want to do, but only of the first step in their repeal effort, the most significant parts of which are the repeal of the individual mandate, the end of subsidies to buy insurance, and the rollback of the expansion of Medicaid.

So how dramatic is the carnage? Here’s what repeal through reconciliation would produce...

Here's the CBO projection (internal link at TPM)

Your projection I've quoted up top comes from where and from who? Can you link to it?

Gingrich Calls for Abolition of the Congressional Budget Office So Trump Can Cook America’s Books

No link. I merely extrapolated from the cost increases and insurer abandonment levels that occurres this year. It looks like the CBO did something like that with their phony "uninsured projection".

So my bad that I didn't look at the situation of Venezuela first

[Trump is] a grown man, and secondly he’s someone who has been involved with beauty contests for many years and has met the most beautiful women in the world. I find it hard to believe that he rushed to some hotel to meet girls of loose morals, although ours are undoubtedly the best in the world.
