Trumpcare Flopped

Right, and that's the main reason Trump won. Voters didn't like either candidate, so Trump managed to get more votes in states that were seen as "Clinton's firewall". If Clinton had run on a populist platform maybe the election would have been closer.

Do you really want a president elected by people who think coal is hunky dory, etc? I'm interested in a candidate who pushes a platform that is good for the people - and can be explained to them - as well as moving the country in a progressive rather than regressive direction.

This measure is going to price sick people without considerable means out of health insurance.

Only in states which apply for the waiver, which is gonna be some of the Republican states, and none of the Democratic states.

Gee.  Almost like having two countries.  Of course, that's what they want!

They'd prefer 50 countries.


As long as they can continue to tax and wage their war against the poor, women, minorities, the environment, science and facts in general in them all.

Everyone spoke too soon there is Trump care version 2.0 which is even more worse than 1.0
in the great words of Alan Grayson "The republicans want you to die quickly" that shit is true.
Even if they get it passed a good chunk of the US population will die and continue to die off
which is bad for everyone.

Trumpcare 2.0 dead-on-arrival as Tea Party blocks Pence intervention

This week, Vice President Mike Pence hatched a plan to fix Obamcare with legislation that would allow states to opt-out of the law entirely. The tea party members of Congress, who are members of the so-called Freedom Caucus, have killed the new proposal, however.

They don't want Trumpcare.  They want Wedon'tfuckingCare.

And bad news for me in the Omaha World Herald yesterday:

Iowa Blue Cross and Blue Shield affiliate Wellmark Inc. will not offer individual health insurance next year, either on the Affordable Care Act’s exchange or off, the Iowa Insurance Commissioner Doug Ommen said Monday.

The 21,400 people with individual Wellmark plans will receive notices and must switch to other insurers for 2018, he said.

“We are very concerned about this development, but Iowa is not alone as ACA markets around the country are being left with few to no options available to consumer.” 


Yeah, I'm affected. Most of those left slowly twisting in the wind are self employed farmers like me.

Don't expect any help from the republicunts.  They'll tell you not to get sick.

I'm not real thrilled with the current boning from Obama . . . . .

Your problem lies ahead of you.
