If there's a silver lining here, it's that the consequences of this healthcare bill, if it passes, stand a good chance of insuring (no pun intended) that Trump will be a one-term president if he isn't impeached before the next presidential election.

People who do not live in natural disaster prone areas often resent paying for those who choose to live in such areas.

People who live pay the death benefits of those who die with term life insurance policies.

Very low income people feel entitled to not pay income taxes and high income earners resent those with no skin in the game.

Internet and social media make us all aware of how these resentments and the " all about me" thing.
People seem a lot more comfortable expressing their outrage about the other guy. Politicians and the media who love them, feed off this.
very well put!

Seems to me that Trump is claiming this bill as his, and it's "wonderful".


it's sad the tweets of the POTUS sound like those of a 13 year old girl trying to make her ex boyfriend jealous....to think this man occupies the same job as Lincoln, Adams, Washington.....

I do not think there is a way to get a bill thru the Senate with Republican votes alone.

Doesn't Newt have some other wives to cheat on? His opinion is meaningless.

This is pretty much the way it is in the working world. All us old people have to do is keep on working.

Best part of this whole thing is that the report comes directly from the CBO, Congressional Budget Office. Not CNN, Not MSNBC...but a nonpartisan analytics office.

There is no argument to be made here from conservatives about "fake news." 14 MILLION people will lose healthcare immediately when/if Trump's new plan is passed. That's 14 million people that are currently insured under Obamacare. That is a fact.

But on January 14th, 2017, Donald Trump said he'd create "healthcare for everyone."


Conservatives....thoughts?

What does a man's infidelity have to do with his political opinions?

He said it was out for review.

It's Ryancare.
