Democrats are the ones who handed off healthcare to the government at 12am on Christmas eve. Anything that the government does to healthcare from here on out is on the Democrats hands. We all said it should stay private since the Govt ruins everything it gets its hands on. Now we will see a battle of the health plans every 4-8 years while people get stuck in insurance limbo. Thanks democrats.
After 9 months of debate. Begging the Republicans for input.
So using your argument, now it is in Republican hands.
Thanks, Republicans.
People dying from drugs; the opoid epidemic. How did many of those people initially get addicted to opoids? From prescription drugs? When did poor people start getting increased access to doctors and prescription drugs? Through Obamacare?
It looks like Obamacare is only slightly behind AIDS as the biggest new killer of the last 50 years. The last time life expectancy grew at such a low rate was in the middle of the AIDS epidemic.
Good grief! You are blaming access to doctors for the opiod crisis. How about income inequality, despair, poverty, factory closings, lack of education......
I guess to the Trumpies, anything that casts their leader in a bad light, even if it is the truth, is 'Fake News', ie, cover eyes, ears and (I wish) mouth.
The greed of the wealthy, including our so-called president, knows no bounds.
'For Medicare and Medicaid participants, insurance companies could increase the elderly’s health care by a whopping $13,000 per year. This is a life-threatening event! Additionally, there are no protections from prescription increases of any amount. Can you say euthanasia for the elderly? Meanwhile, the prescription companies are going to realize $25 billion in tax cuts on a yearly basis.
Trumpcare slashes coverage for low to moderate-income households so insurers, drug companies, and wealthy Americans can get huge tax cuts –
As if they do not make enough money, the managed care companies and the pharmaceuticals will $600 billion in tax breaks. The middle class and poor Americans get no tax breaks. An obscene total savings of $275 billion in tax cuts goes to the richest 2%. People making a million dollars per year will receive a $50,000 tax break each year from repeal of the ACA’s taxes on the rich.
As a result of this loss of tax revenue due to the tax cuts for the wealthy, an estimated 15 million American low-income children and senior citizens will lose their medicaid coverage leading to more financial devastation among these group, not to mention being at risk for premature death.
Meanwhile, the managed care companies will receive $145 billion in tax breaks over the next 10 years.
Some sources, who have analyzed Trumpcare, state that the 400 richest families will receive a tax cut of $7 million per year due to the generous Trumpcare policies.'
Euthanasia would be, at least, painless. What the GOP Death Care Bill would amount to would be millions of people slowly suffering from many ailments that would otherwise be treatable. A slow and hideous death to many and this is not hyperbole at all.

'Death Care Bill' - isn't that a bit extreme? I prefer to call it the Unaffordable Care Act, because my coverage is about to be multiplied 5 times.
