So does Trumpcare pass the house?

Dang.

Dude is losing it.

"it" is long gone.

I posted a link to an article that compared Trash's coherent articulations of long ago to his current scrambled BULL .

The shrinks are right. Trash is mentally degraded, degrading. Stress kills brain cells. All in parallel with his malignant, incurable narcissism.

And where the is Bethesda Navy doctors' traditional Presidential health report on Trash?

I wonder how what BigPharma garbage he's on?

Mitch McConnell’s Big Secret Is Out As Trumpcare Will Hurt People Who Get Insurance At Work

If you thought being in an employer plan would protect you from the evils of Trumpcare, you are sadly mistaken.

Trumpcare V2.1 will

impose annual limits on as many as 27 million Americans and

lifetime limits on as many as 20 million.

And it's not just in states with waivers, which is to say your Democratic governor can't protect you.

I don't care what people cite about people losing health care etc...that is all a distraction from the truth that what we have now is an unmitigated disaster.

It's like saying you give someone with no money $1 and that you drove wealth to the poor. It's a damn disaster regardless of how people are touting that "so many now have access to health insurance"

Millions losing healthcare is a distraction? Time to go back to the glory days of medical bankruptcy?

Yes. To clarify - it's a talking point that takes away from progress. It's makes it seem like one thing is "good" and it's really not. The current plan that those millions have is a disaster and largely unaffordable with little coverage.

It's not a talking point, it's a real world consequence of going back to the even worse system we had before, which is what Trumpcare would push us back towards. People on the right like to act like exploding healthcare costs aren't a 20 year trend, like it all started with the ACA. The current plan sucking doesn't mean we should go back to something worse. Fixing it isn't a reality with the current GOP in charge, since their idea is to call a tax cut for the rich a health plan.

Well I honestly don't think it's better than before. My coverage is definitely worse and more expensive & everyone else that "has" insurance that otherwise would not doesn't seem to be able to afford it either.

Chuck Schumer Just Killed The Biggest Republican About Obamacare Dead On The Senate Floor

Senate Democratic Leader, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) got Republican Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) to admit that Obamacare wasn’t negotiated in secret, but had 25 days of hearings.


Schumer got Joni Ernst to admit that the

Affordable Care Act got 25 days of hearings and 169 hours of consideration.

Trumpcare has had zero hearings and zero hours of consideration.

One of the talking points that Republicans are using to defend their actions is that they are using the same process that Democrats used when doing the ACA.

As Schumer got Ernst to acknowledge in the video above, this claim is a flat out lie.

Hatch admits Trumpcare is too toxic to be seen by the public

Senate Finance Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) said holding public hearings about the legislation would only give Democrats more opportunity to attack the bill.

"We have zero cooperation from the Democrats," he said. "So getting it in public gives them a chance to get up and scream."

Of course, they have offered no opportunity for Democrats to "cooperate" on this bill.

They've allowed zero opportunity for the ing

March of Dimes to cooperate on this bill,

ditto the American Medical Association,

the Association of Hospitals,

American Cancer Society,

you name it, they've been shut out.

Because if anyone outside of the Republican caucus sees it before McConnell has a chance to ram it through,

there's the threat that his own people will bail out. Hatch just admitted it.

Democrats to slow-walk Senate business over health care bill

Democrats will begin slow-walking Senate business on Monday as part of their opposition to Republican attempts to overturn the Affordable Care Act.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York said

Democrats will object to requests for “unanimous consent” to set aside rules and expedite proceedings.

The procedural move is a tactic the minority party can use to draw out the legislative process for days, forcing Republicans to jump through procedural hurdles to get anything done.

The goal, he said, is to refer the GOP health care bill to a committee where it can be debated and amended publicly.

Republicans are writing their bill “under the cover of darkness because they’re ashamed of it,” he said.

“This is a bill that would likely reorder one-sixth of the American economy and have life-and-death consequences for millions of Americans, and

it’s being discussed in secret with no committee hearings,

no debate,

no amendments,

no input from the minority,” he said.

Senate wants to kill Medicaid even faster than House did

Because almost $900 billion in Medicaid cuts in the House bill didn't give quite enough for massive tax cuts for the wealthy,

Senate Republicans are reportedly looking at slashing it even more,

according to lobbyists and Senate aids who spoke with The Hill.

The proposal would start out the growth rate for a new cap on Medicaid spending at the same levels as the House bill,

but then drop to a lower growth rate that would cut spending more, known as CPI-U, starting in 2025, the sources said.

That proposal has been sent to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) for analysis, a Senate GOP aide said.

The aide said that plan has been described as a "consensus option that has been sent to CBO," though no final decision has been made yet.

Another aide said there are still other options in the mix.

This is being reported as "a leading option" in the negotiating process.

Remember how the Senate was going to be the moderating force and fix all the bad stuff in the House bill?

Paul Ryan on Trump Allegedly Calling Health Care Bill ‘Mean’: ‘Misinterpretation’ of What He Said

“No, I don’t think that accurately reflects the President’s sentiments about the House health care bill.

I think that was some kind of a misinterpretation of a private meeting.

I’ve spoken to the president many, many times.

He’s excited on what we did in the House.”

There is now reporting that in a meeting with tech CEOs yesterday,

the President said the Senate’s health care bill needs “more heart.”
