Do people still incur those kinds of weekly charges even with Obamacare in place? I'm legitimately curious from my DC bubble.
yup, they can still happen. obamacare did not fix the criminally high prices that patients are charged in this country (yes, it curbed some excesses… but not nearly enough). luckily the ACA got rid of lifetime limits, so insurance companies can't say "sorry, you've hit your $100k max, the rest of the bill is up to you".

Apparently, he had insurance, Peter Buck, and $125K from the GoFundMe account. I guess my point is…if his medical bills only used 75K from the GoFundMe, does he get to pocket 50K?

Let's not lose perspective. Four days in and .3% of the people who voted for Trump have raised 1.2% of the money needed to fund only 4% of Trumps wall.

there you go using math again…Fact's are for losers!
in addition the 5B number is a low low ball estimate
the original estimates were 20B
And you know how gov't spends money wastefully (i.e. space) so probably double that
so 12 mill raised of 40B…drop in the ocean
not including ongoing costs, which are in the 100s of millions a year

I used $25B because that was the "conservative" estimate Fox News has been using, but yes, I agree, it's much more.
204,669 / 62,984,828 = .3%
$12,475,646 of $1B = 1.2%
$1B of $25b = 4%

I don't believe many of these people would have hit the donate button if they actually believed it would come close to their goal and thus require them to actually pay.
It's just a no cost way to back Trump for them.

I think the most karmic scenario would be if hackers somehow got into that GoFundMe and drained people's bank accounts and all the money went to some Russian crime syndicate

Some classic quotes all in 1 90+ minute Cabinet meeting
"When they say I'm not popular in Europe, I shouldn't be popular in Europe."
"I don't care about Europe."
"I could be the most popular person in Europe. I could be – I could run for any office if I wanted to, but I don't want to."
"I think I would've been a good general, but who knows."
"Nicest machine guns I've ever seen."
"I could have had a lot easier presidency by doing nothing." (we can only dream)

@realDonaldTrump 1.4.19
How do you impeach a president who has won perhaps the greatest election of all time, done nothing wrong (no Collusion with Russia, it was the Dems that Colluded), had the most successful first two years of any president, and is the most popular Republican in party history 93%?
the last part is true (only truth in this twat) and still very scary with all we know…

Why is it so hard for him and a Republicans to realize they also represent people that don’t vote for or support them?!?

Anybody see the Shutdown as a hail mary by Trump and McConnell to have the agencies operating normally when Mueller's report is released in February and the arrests start flying?
