So Trump wants the government to pay for IVF but not to pay for basic health care…

Riiiight…

If you consider the relative cost of IVF for a few thousand people per year versus basic care for all 340 million Americans every year, it seems like a real cheap promise to actually implement. Not at all the Republican way, but cheap and probably highly discriminatory, so sorta the Republican way.

I’m sorry, but did he actually _promise_ anything?

What does any assertion by any pol about some vote-buying gift they hope the government will bestow upon their audience _du jour_ _if_ they’re elected really mean? Bupkiss.

I just didn’t see the big contradiction the OP did.

I PM’d the OP about expanding the OP. This falls below our thresh hold of content for #Politics & Elections, so as no reply, this is closed.
