The Latest Republicunt Health Care Travesty
Their tired old mantra:  Let the states do it!!!!!

http://www.cnn.com/2017/07/13/politics/s...index.html

Quote:New GOP health care bill could allow cheaper plans with fewer benefits

Doesn't repeal the taxes, allows companies to sell cheap plans that cover nothing in the guise of letting people think they have "health insurance," and passes the money to the states so that we can have 50 different fiascos each run by some governor with a different agenda.

Medicare for all, McConnell.  Time to pull your head out of your ass.

Ha!  Fuck you assholes.

You deserve whatever happens to you for voting for the piece of shit in the first place.

Given the fact that his voter base skews to the older, I'm tempted to think it would be okay to simply let this pass.

Of course, I have the luxury of a single-payer plan courtesy of the VA. Where his base -- and plenty of folks who didn't vote for him -- would suffer dreadful consequences, I'll limp along with my coverage, shoddy though it might at times be.

subprime healthcare?

Are you surprised?
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

No wonder the republicunts are pissed at Susan Collins.  She knows math.  They hate that.

Quote:Collins points to an underappreciated flaw in the GOP health plan

Quote:The GOP approach would try to ease the burden by creating a fund to help offset those costs, creating what would, in practice, become high-risk pools. And while that’s inherently problematic for all kinds of reasons, as TPM noted, Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) raised a separate concern: the money her party’s plan sets aside is being used more than once.
Quote:[The Cruz] amendment takes money already appropriated in the bill for other needs and says it can be used for these payments to insurers under the Cruz Amendment.
“It seems to me you’re using that money over and over again,” she said. “It’s supposed to relieve the cost of high premiums. It’s supposed to solve the problem with deductibles being unaffordable. It’s supposed to be available for high-risk or reinsurance pool. It’s supposed to be available under the Cruz Amendment to help prevent a huge increase in rates for people with pre-existing conditions.”
Matthew Fiedler, a fellow at Brookings Institute’s Center for Health Policy, confirmed this double-dipping to TPM.

Who knew math could be so complicated?  Certainly not the WLB or his Tit Turd leadership in the Senate.

Young healthy people want cheaper plans with fewer benefits.

If you want progressive healthcare, that's fine. Have the rich people pay for the poor people's healthcare. That's a perfectly reasonable way to do it. But this shit, where they put the burden on healthy 20 and 30yo's who are forced into these expensive plans that don't make sense is stupid. It's like the government forcing people to play scratch off tickets.

If USians could get over their collective misunderstanding about what socialism is, does and means, you lot could have a modified single payer system like...guess what...the rest of the developed world.

Honestly, the notion that looking after the health of its citizens is taking up so much of the US government's time is pretty puzzling to those of us labouring under the iron hobnailed boot of socialist dictatorships.

Steele and Unger (POTUS) featured analysis that concluded 'pubs plan is D-E-A-D as they are sure of 3 'pub votes agin' it.

They seemed to think a bipartisan overhaul of Obamacare is going to be forced on congress no matter what now.


I guess we'll see . . .
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
