    Well most of the people this will hurt dont count to Republicans these days anyways...

      I've been all for the ACA and am heartened to see it's popularity increase due to grassroots political activism.

        Trumpcare 3.0 is back from the dead. Per FNC, they are aiming to actually bring it to a floor vote Wednesday. The Freedumbers are on board, the moderates can suck it.

        tl; dr: If you're sick or at risk of illness, older but too young for Medicare, lower middle class but too rich for Medicaid, and in a red state, then: You. Are. F-cked. The correlation of that description with Trump supporters is, let's just say, astronomical.

        The Republicans may be about to give the Democrats a generational electoral gift. Right now everything that goes wrong with health care, even the stuff nobody can address, is blamed on the Dems because it's Obamacare. By the end of the week that may have reversed.

          It was also discussed in the Trump thread because he guaranteed Pre-existing conditions would be guaranteed. (which is counter to what the Freedumbers seem to be saying) They are pushing the High Risk Pool canard and now the only way states can opt out of the Medicaid expansion and such is by having the High Risk Pool. So not only will your insurance skyrocket if you have diabetes but if you cant afford it or you are out of work the state will make sure you cant get public assistance either.

          That is why I posted I want this to pass. This is what the people wanted, time for them to sleep in the bed they made. The Dems will laugh all the way to the midterms on this.

            They're basically stealing the money from the high-risk folks and giving it to the rich. Pretty sad. I imagine my premiums won't be affected even though he's saying they will.

            I hope Kep is right. And I pray that someone has some new ideas. What I'd like to see is them figure out what the budget needs to be for Medicare for all and just take the money from the overpriced Defense budget that doesn't even pay for Health Care for Vets.

                That's great. ER's are really inexpensive ways to administer Health Care to citizens!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                    I'll finish his thought, we can't call ourselves the greatest country in the world and make people decide between financial ruin and their child's life. Which isn't a choice at all.

                        Mookie has yet to hear a newsperson ask a congressperson if they realize that in home/auto insurance the people who don't make claims subsidize the ones who do.

                        Plus unlike abortion the narrative is still insurance instead of coverage.

                              They understand it. It's the definition of "socialism". However with auto insurance, they have "high risk" tiers...
