The Creators Of TrumpCare On TrumpCare: 'Don't Call It TrumpCare'

Unlike House Speaker Paul Ryan, Stephen Colbert doesn't need PowerPoint to break down the finer points of the GOP's health plan.

[@andrewwilliams5792]

I worry about the number of Americans who think the sun goes to sleep at night.

[@vigneshr6644]

or number of Americans who think the sun won't rise the next day because trump got elected and every policy doesn't lick their balls.

[@Chukuman00]

Vignesh R yeah erm the total number of Americans that think that is 0, so please shut up before you embarrass yourself even further, Vignesh

[@mccarraa]

Andrew Williams alot America's believe world 🌍 is flat. But I enjoy laughing 😂 at usa and thanks 🎅 Santa I don't live there. I'm in ROI. 🍀

[@vigneshr6644]

Its called a metaphor . Reply once you've passed 9 th grade.

[@Chukuman00]

Vignesh R my mistake, it's probably my fault that I haven't heard the very eloquent metaphor 'lick their balls' before. I'm sure Dickens and Austen loved that deep phrase in their works of literature. Tell me Vignesh, why hasn't your lord and saviour trump saved the country yet? Based on the things he was promising, many thought it'd be an idyllic utopia by now. No need to be so cranky that your hero is a moron

[@andrerutkowski6390]

Lets just call it the "Republican Insurance Plan" or its abbreviation R.I.P

Why do the politicians in this video seem like they belong on a episode of parks and recreation

[@dianeridley9804]

Bernie sander's If even one of them were remotely like Ron Swanson, I would have hope for the immediate future

[@garretttipton6163]

Why on Earth would you want someone like Ron Swanson? He's the man who thinks government should literally be a single man in a room deciding who to nuke. I guess roads are optional now. Even Leslie-spend-all-the-money-no-matter-what-Knope would be better than Ron Swanson.

[@imawaterbottle6932]

Garrett Tipton he's probably also a libertarian

[@dianeridley9804]

Garrett Tipton Ron Swanson is a libertarian. He hates surprises and liars. He guards his privacy with an unwavering ferocity. He says please AND thank you. He loves his wife, his stepchildren and his baby boy. He is never shy about professing his love for beef and breakfast food. He builds one-of-a-kind, high quality wood products (with the occasional silver wedding band). He does not compromise his integrity for monetary gain. He apologizes when it is necessary. He is fiercely loyal to his friends and champions their causes. He is not perfect and never professes to be. He looks straight into your eyes and tells you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. And who gives a f*ck about Bloosh? Not Ron Swanson.

[@storytime3119]

Because they do

Beth-Apparently, he doesn't have to pay sales tax like the rest of us. Tax it when we make it then tax it when we spend it. Bullshit!

[@soyborne.bornmadeandundone1342]

I can answer that question! ..... VERY VERRRY out of touch. That's how out of touch he is lol.

[@Dr.-Dank]

Wait, there's a tax on ice cream?

[@TheUnlocked]

Dr. Dank sales tax; It's a prepared food product

[@PJC1983]

First rule of TrumpCare: Don't call it TrumpCare Second rule of TrumpCare: "... Wait, why don't we tax the sun?!"

[@vigneshr6644]

Third rule : "why don't people get sarcasm?"

[@brendantheprettygood]

Vignesh R no it was not! he really wants to tax the sun! that's impossible.

[@Katiewithdaffodils]

I mean you really could have a sugar tax, that's not so ridiculous, it's like alcohol taxes (beer duty in UK) and things like that. That's not necessarily originally a conservative idea though....Not as funny as a sun tax...

[@sdgdhpmbp]

+Vignesh R How the fuck is it sarcasm? It'd be like joking "black people are so oppressed they may as well go back to being slaves". It's dumb. Make your point better than using a very dumb metaphor that we know you've been working on for days. Because that idiot really wants to tax the sun.

[@tylernelson9039]

the republican was being sarcastic . not good but sarcastic nontheless

[@stalematesibling]

of course they wont like it. how can they make money out of fossil fuel then?

[@syedahmedjilanee6041]

[@mateonoctis3114]

Yeah, you are right, we had that proposal. We are ruled by our own Republican-like douchebags.

[@MarcoJosephCheung]

They do call it "the world's greatest healthcare plan of 2017" though. When that's written in a congressional bill you know it's idiocracy in full swing

[@vigneshr6644]

if its the only one written in 2017 .(proper grammar one )

[@texivani]

t6253 Who are you talking to?

[@MarcoJosephCheung]

If it's the only one written in 2017 then we can also call it world's worst healthcare plan of 2017

[@mattyian1208]

2017 was a great year

[@MalakMacabre]

I love the people bashing on Stephen Colbert because he points out the obvious errors of Donald Trump and mocks his insecurities. It's like having a 14 year old girl as president who only wants to play on Twitter and gossip. Your comments are full of sophisticated curse words and intelligent phrases like "come at me bro." Go watch Fox news if you don't like Colbert. They'll tell you whatever you want to hear anyway.

[@joeyval7905]

Malak Macabre FOX news..... if you learn from news channels your miseducated, do your own research! News channels are always bias

[@blazingocean4206]

Malak Macabre I was going to agree with you, but how are you any different? Just ignores them.

[@toastykowabungadewey2716]

WOW why a girl, Whatcha implying?

[@Youre_dumb]

CEOofFRESH1 Here me. Obamacare was not good, it was just better than what we had the first time. This Trumpcare shit is a step backwards. Single payer is the most viable option

[@PaulZink]

Why is it "unfair" to report what Donald Trump says and does? (Oh, and set the record straight if he makes false statements, too.) Breaking news for you, James: "the press" is not a Public Relations agency through which you "get information around". Here's how it works: (1) something happens that is newsworthy; (2) journalists report on it. Journalists do not "change the story", they report the facts -even if those facts are unpleasant or inconvenient for certain parties. But if Trump wants to use Twitter instead of the White House Press Office to make a statement, fine. However, why does he need a Press Secretary, then?

[@equalitystateofmind5412]

TrumpCare just doesn't have the same phonetic appeal as Obamacare. Those consonants, man... They're, like, adjacent....

[@equalitystateofmind5412]

Thoughts, Internet?

[@TheRiptideRaptor]

Equals Four agreed

[@nathenhutchison6182]

Drumpfcare?

[@scoobertdoobert9988]

Nah Republicare has a much better ring. That way the GOP has to take the fall when it all goes to shit.

[@thefemaleanimefreak]

Equals Four Obamacare has a smooth vowel-consonant scheme, but Trumpcare is too erratic.

[@chasemiller2548]

If there's one thing Trump is making great again, it's satire. Can't wait to see where SNL goes with this.

[@vigneshr6644]

Not really , intellectual humor died.

[@mccarraa]

Vignesh R rest of world 🌍 really enjoying it, laughing at American. that's why all the show's rating and views are up.

[@berzerkerdav]

Trump has made comedy tv great again! =D

[@summerstevens2547]

+berzerkerdav wish he would make "American Great Again" as he promsied. Just lining his pockets and the mega rich donors now cabinet members and corporations also now cabinet members. Rich get richer and no one cares about regular guy. Top 1-5% keep dropping on us like birds in a tree, we're so far beneath them they can't look down.

[@brotlowskyrgseg1018]

It seems like Sean Spicer and Melissa McCarthy are currently fighting over who is the best parody of a press secretary. I'd say Spicer has the upper hand, since his hillarious sketch with the two paper stacks.

God BLESS Mr. Colbert

[@eboknows9812]

One would think Paul Ryan would know how insurance works. Alas, it takes a late night comedian to point out the obvious.

[@vigneshr6644]

One would also think to view the actual clip instead of taking an out of context clip for making a judgement.

[@gavinjenkins899]

Vignesh, this isn't a damn dress making somebody look fat, where you don't say anything if you can't say something polite. The man is giving a talk about how his step 1 is removing the law that is keeping several of my loved ones alive. It's on him to explain, and damn quickly and clearly, what the hell he's thinking, if he doesn't want to get crucified by everyone in similar situations he just began by announcing he is screwing over before doing anything else to help. He's very much failing to do so.

[@aadesh_singh]

Vignesh R one would also think before replying to EVERY FUCKING COMMENT in the comment section. Don't try so hard man.

[@vigneshr6644]

+Aadesh Singh Well you've read every single comment anyway so ...

[@LyricalDJ]

EboKnows Oh, I'm fairly sure he does. Just like tax exemptions for the rich do the opposite of what Republicans claim they do. They know that, it's all part of the plan.

[@velvetlensfilms3290]

[@vigneshr6644]

Not really , More like rich .

[@user-hr9oz8xv6n]

I suppose you're right, liberals don't pay taxes so what do they care? It's not like their welfare checks will be any different..

[@user-rn5sv9yf8i]

Vice Principal Dick Vernon It's funny how red states are the ones draining the economy since they depend so much more on welfare than blue states. But, you know, whatever, liberals are the freeloaders!

[@molefilebone]

'... please check spine at the door.' Absolutely brilliant joke.

[@johncraske]

All this trouble about an issue which has a very simple solution - just bring in universal health care like virtually all civilised countries in the world have already done. Speaking as a Brit, I simply do not understand why a system which provides peace-of-mind for all no matter their financial situation is seen as such a terrible thing. OK, many in the US call it socialism (dread word!) but if being safe from being bankrupted from medical bills is socialism, then I'm all for it. Let's face it, if Walter White had lived in Europe, it would have saved him a whole heap of trouble. Sure we have to pay for this out of our taxes. Just as we have to pay for education , defense etc out of our taxes. But health is one tax I am more than happy to pay. Of course, it will never happen in the US, as the medical insurance companies, financial institutions and the doctors will be dead against it. But I still don't grasp why the people don't want it either.

[@de6212]

The right wing "news" has convinced the most ignorant Americans that Brits hate the NHS. These are people who hear this and are too lazy just to google some polls to see if it's true.

[@johncraske]

Actually, DE, it's probably the one thing which Brits are almost universally in favour of keeping. No matter peoples' politics, they all want to retain our beloved NHS. The problem is that we are all getting older, so the pressures on the NHS increase every year. Therefore if we wish to retain this national treasure, then we have to keep putting more money into it.

[@pytdarlene]

D E You nailed it. I try to talk to people about this and all I get is that Breitbart and Fox News fear mongering bullshit that they are going to be left on a gurney to die in the hall. I can't believe what people on poor diets and pharms will believe. They just don't research ANYTHING to find out if it's true or not. And they won't let you tell them otherwise.

[@tigerbalm3005]

John Craske As a fellow Brit I concur, no matter what our political bias, the majority of us agree that the NHS is one thing we want to retain and are happy to put our hard earned into its survival!

[@ebthedoc4992]

Why is it, really that the Republican Party is so dead-set against the ACA? Because it also put mechanisms in place for accountability. Please remember that big-time insurer and pharma executives are among the heaviest contributors to the former's campaign chests. And of course said executives want to keep their obscene bonus levels and continue driving cost structures best described as a clipper ship trying to sail on the tips of it's masts. Another case of the Congress majorities creeping up the backside of their billionaire benefactors, helping them dump on Joe and Jane Normal! Thanks for helping us keep an eye on this Adminstration's flouting of ethics! I've been resisting. It's had consequences: Posting this everywhere I can before Bannon makes me disappear !March 8, 2017...Hi, I'm Eb theDoc. My Facebook account has been disabled since Saturday Mar.4th. It's never been a political platform, but was a point of contact I enjoyed visiting to see friends' and friend's friends' (no control over the latter!) posts on what's happening. At first I thought it was due to an insensitive post on Colbert's Cate Blanchett interview (made when I was overtired, since deleted and apologized for @facebook). No reaction from Ms. Bickert or Mr. Osofsky to date. Didn't expect one from forthright Cate (Luvya)!So I must assume it was due to a post shortly before, on the arrest for deportation of the illegal immigrant Avelica-Gomez in front of his 13-year old daughter (can't remember which page: Meyers/Colbert/Noah/Oliver?) in which I'd used wording that felt 'right' for the portion of the public that supports Trump, but laid me open for libel, because DJT has not been convicted of the many things he's publicly bragged about doing. The post, since revised for legality, can be found in the comments on The Young Turks' report on the arrest. Problem is, if that's the case, we have an Administration that's prepared to silence critics by _fiat_ (as Steve Miller's horrifying interviews show) in contravention of First Amendment Rights. Worse yet: they are using executive powers unconstitutionally to suborn corporations that should serve as the proud foundation of our freedoms. America, when will you wake up? My parents managed to survive the rise of the Nazi Reich, the war, and bring us out of the shambles of WW II to a good life in the US. Are we going to let a few bigots who've crept into the White House and built an inept Administration founded on 'BigMoney=BigProfits for everyone (HarHar!)' violate our standards and integrity? Eb Somersworth, NH This was the post on ICE: Avelica-Gomez. Let's take this as a typical example of Trump's 'new improved' ICE guidelines. A Mexican who entered illegally 25 years ago and has diligently, quietly and honestly, supported his family since, with 4 US-citizen daughters, is arrested and taken off for deportation in front of his 13-year old after dropping another off at school. His 'Bad-Guy/Bad-Hombre' profile? Non-felonious DUI and driving without a licence in 2008, buying a tag for his car on the sly in 1998. Mr. Trump, on the other hand, has been involved with plaintiffs/lawyers/courts in felony cases involving fraud/rape of minors/exploitation of illegals/tax evasion for millions/sexual assault/rape of a wife, etc., usually with huge settlements and always with sealed court records. America, where is your sense of proportion? How could an Attorney General who's expressed admiration for the Klan (never a joking matter, Mr. Sessions!) help you keep it? Eb

He could only wish he had the crowd Obama had when he became our 44th president. What a loser Trump is. He will go down in history as the most unpopular president since Herbert Hoover....

[@EWAMILENAP]

I thought it was Trump Deathcare.

[@Pontius888]

Sounds about right.

[@guruofdoodoo]

Funny you should coin that name since just about all government run healthcare systems have death panels that decide when you cost to much to keep alive. That and the fact that Obama loved to fund abortion which is "DEATHCARE" . That and his votes for assisted suicide in the Illinois state senate. You libtards always try to blame all your failed policies on the other side. You know like the Jim Crow laws, segregation, and lets not forgot the PMR which instituted the warning labels on records

[@rosariocardona7037]

I love Colbert. Tells you a blunt truth with a joke.

[@diorme7510]

Thank God for you Colbert ♥

[@mm-lh1nt]

Us Australians don't mind a few of our tax dollars going towards protecting everyone's health- including our own. Forever greatful for Medicare. Can't imagine living in the U.S where you have to pay for education and health. What kind of sad life

[@geraldherrmann787]

trump care, jump scare.

[@danib9845]

What I like about comedians and politics is that you can tell it as it is, unlike the mainstream media that can't. You're so right about the bunch of spineless republicans, including Cruz, who are kowtowing to the liar-in-chief. I hope Americans remember those congressmen and senators in the next election.

[@craffte]

OMG I LOST IT!!! the Jason Smith was gold. Tax the sun. Tax that boy's momma. She should hide her face heehee

[@tylerwillems9358]

I love you Colbert. You are so good at what you do. Seriously, some of the best education happens from you, in such a light hearted way. You're a great comedian, and politician.

[@mustafamalik4211]

We should rename "TrumpCare" to "TrumpDoesn'tCare"

[@egoalter1276]

That is a very bad idea.

[@egoalter1276]

What is the actual problem with the proposal?

[@egoalter1276]

Privatly founded healthcare DOES NOT WORK. Your very country is live example of it. Literally every single fucking nation, be it a middleeastern shithole, a south american communist dictatorship, or a first world country agrees, that healthcare is a social issue best handled by the government, on tax money.

[@happyschwagg290]

It's interesting though, when you actually look into these things and find that our lack of meaningful government involvement has resulted in us paying around 2x more for the exact same medications as most of the rest of the West. Maybe you enjoy the freedom to get price gouged, but I don't.

[@videodog52]

You are outta your mind.

[@stalematesibling]

Greatest country in the world votes for congressman who questions why we cant tax the sun..................................................................................... oh wait also elected trump.

[@vigneshr6644]

It was a great country when people took things in context and under stood sarcasm and its role in highlighting the absurdity of life.

[@SocialGore]

Vignesh R Yeah, THAT'S our problem.

[@vigneshr6644]

Well a population that understands fairly advanced humor is a intellectually advanced one.

[@Freeroler]

He was elected by the people who don't know what sarcasm is, what should you expect?

[@SeanPitts92]

Vignesh R

[@kezkezooie8595]

Stephen made a very obvious but salient point there regarding Paul Ryan's criticism of the ACA - that IS exactly how insurance of any kind works. Your premiums go towards paying for those that get sick and need healthcare and others' premiums will go towards paying for you should you need it. It's also how government funds work. Taxation pays for public buildings, schools, hospitals, roads, bridges etc. No one will use every road, bridge, public building etc that their tax dollar goes towards paying for.

[@noeliajaime7656]

Just the fact that he's not willing to stamp his name on it like he does LITERALLY everything else should give people pause.What are you hiding Trump?

[@redrobot77]

When your president and opposition are clowns and your entertainers are great thinkers and philosophers...

[@egoalter1276]

You live in a dreamworld, or are deluded. Clowns dont get to be president.

[@MartinPoulter]

Shh! Nobody tell Ego Alter who the President of the US is.

[@egoalter1276]

Do you truly belive he is a blabbering idiot, who stumbled his way to greatness?

[@BodaiouslyInstigated]

Yes.

[@tretre3892]

Some Body 😂😂😂😂

[@eddiesfilmss]

GOP healthcare: fuck you if you're poor. But ayy, if you're rich let's have some fun

[@colaboytje]

I feel sorry for all US citizens, including the people who voted for Trump.

[@courtney-ray]

I love Stephen's commitment to his improve props! Even after he's "finished" with them, he doesn't just drop his hands, he "sets" down his invisible props! Haha

[@AkilTheAwesome]

I'm sorry but the democratic amendment to rename the bill, "Republican pay more for less act" is some master level trolling, and a grade A truth bomb.

[@Dbzamended]

We have to be calling it Republicare. Don't let them scapegoat Donald when it goes to shit.

[@serenadagostino5368]

Some countries have been taxing or forbidding rain water collecting.

[@stealthwolf1]

Holy crap that congressman is channeling Michael Scott!

[@ayobamimac]

Fellow Humans !!!!!!! We must tax The Sun!!!!!.

[@karebear3658]

Ayobami Macaulay can we add the moon too...😂😂😂

I like how we forgot about the second travel ban

and russia

[@babygorilla4233]

i mean who doesn't want to be there for them throwing their ball's away

[@mcufestus6052]

thank u for actually speaking up against these stupid ppl

[@disneyfan101rocks]

"the people who are healthy pay for the people who are sick" bruh

[@pyrophobia133]

republicans are going to choke on this...

[@k3nny111]

It's not a joke for the people losing their health insurance and subsequently, for many of them, their life. But I will power through the sadness and still enjoy the show of Republicans fucking up bigly after complaining for a decade.

[@mendezj615]

pyrophobia133 this dick

[@egoalter1276]

Just instate a mandatory health tax deduced from income, and make hospitals government funded. Oh wait, that would be bad for business. Well better leave 50 million people on the edge of financial ruination...

[@AlexO-sx6ff]

Don't call it Trump-last-ditch-to-save-face. Call it Trumpcare, and it's bad.

[@RyanJohnson]

"Privatize the fire department!"

[@MrUMitra]

Every time Stephen does some acts, he always puts the imaginary props down. Here it was the steering wheel and the handkerchief. LoL.

[@CaptainCardsworth]

"The problem with Obamacare is that...the healthy people are paying for the sick people.""You just described how insurance works."

[@keesmuch]

Mr Colbert you are a genius!

[@sheila5707]

I would totally buy a Suck it, the don't Care Bear shirt.
