    Bingo. The AMA and AARP seem to believe the rates for those effected are going to be pretty dang high. Also those people in Red States with Diabetes or Hypertension better start saving because whoa nelly they are going to be in trouble. States can get the waivers promised in the current bill ONLY if they have the high risk pool.

    The Insurance companies should be happy as hell, they are going to make easy extra bank on this when it passes.

    Elections have consequences...enjoy it Red Staters!! Pass the bill! REPEAL REPEAL REPEAL!!!!

        If all those GOPers will forswear any campaign contributions or lobbying benefits from big tobacco, big sugar, processed food giants, and alcohol, then their commitment to protecting health while saving health care $$ might be more convincing. Walk into any fast food restaurant or convenient store in this country and you can see why health care will never be truly affordable until we adjust the way we consume food and drink. Exercise too, but diet first. Michelle Obama's advocacy for healthier foods in schools probably did more to address the true root problem than we give her credit for. Chronic diseases and their connection to diet: that's where the battleground should be. But there is too much money being made off of addictive junk for that to happen.

          Good question...I know lots of stuff caused by obesity certainly is! I hope those people in St. Cloud have a nice savings

            No, no. All that ape in heels did was ruin school lunches. She made them inedible.

            I've read or heard that over and over from righties. She ruined their kids' lunches.

                  I remember when a bunch of Righties around here tried spouting off that nonsense. To them apparently advocating for healthy school lunch was equal to Socialism and I am not speaking with hyperbole.

                  I wonder if Scooby is as pumped about this as I am? This plan is going to pass because they will use the high risk pools to cover for the fact that they are going to price people with pre-existing conditions right out of the market. My guess is the CBO will still show high numbers of people will get screwed but it wont matter. Give the Trumpers and the Righties everything they have begged for...the wasteland we become will be reminiscent of the wasteland Trump pretends America is right now. The Recession is coming, companies that love him like Carrier and Boeing are cutting jobs and still outsourcing and the mining jobs dont seem to be on the rise. Cutting taxes but spending like he is leads to only spot...and now the poor who love him not only will be poor but they will have no economic assistance and no health care. I want to feel bad but I dont. This is what they wanted

                  REPEAL REPEAL REPEAL! CUT THOSE TAXES!!! SPEND SPEND SPEND!!! I am a White Middle Class Man in a State with a high standard of living (for now...the GOP in this state is trying to screw all that up) I will be just fine. I sure hope all those people in Cleetusville, Pennsyltuckhoma dont get too used to living high on the hog

                  DGF,

                  Your employer should be pretty excited about this...this is free money!

                    You said that in jest, Fade, but you are right; people do have the right to eat whatever they want and how much they want. But we could take an approach similar to the way we've handled tobacco: warn people and educate them. We don't just eat too many twinkies and snicker bars for the sugar, we eat too much of everything for the sugar. Because it's in everything, and it's in everything so we'll keep buying it. It is probably safe to say that what we put in our food kills more people in a month than islamic jihadists have killed in our entire lifetime. It also makes universal healthcare unaffordable under anybody's plan. The burden of all that ill health is just too great.

                    We don't have to demonize our own companies and our own people who are involved in them, but we can educate and we can use the power of taxation (though that ends up being a legal question, I suppose) to modify our eating habits. Until we fight that battle, the other ones will rage on with no end in sight.

                      I really think my parents did a hell of a job raising two kids, but if there is just one thing I wish they did, I wish they pushed us to eat better. I'm doing it now, but it took 28+ years to get me to eat a salad regularly.

                      They kept us extremely active with sports so we could get away with that while we were younger. But it starts to catch up on you when you get older.

                        My parents kept me in Little League baseball and bowling. But they flopped on the eating healthy part; ice cream and pop were on the grocery list every week. It wasn't until I came home from college, got a job, and started the cooking myself that we started eating fresh. And oh... they didn't want to give up their Kraft Mac n Cheese.

                          And even if you exercise enough to keep the weight off, eating junk still leads to heart disease, diabetes, etc.
                          If you don't change the world today, how can it be any better tomorrow?

                            I'm a marathon runner, and one lie I have been told is "you can eat whatever you want." That is true... but they're missing the other part of the statement. I do allow myself a little fun, yes, but for the most part, it's fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and quality protein. Usually, my doctor has rave reviews for me, and I'd like to keep those going, thank you...

                              Most people get more sugar by breakfast (40g/day) than they should all day. One of the trade offs as processed foods removed fat was an increase in salt and particularly sugar.

                                Unless it's corn on the cob, I don't salt anything anymore. Haven't for years. Honestly, most if not all food doesn't need salt.
                                Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.
