You're just uncomfortable with the consequences of the bill. And yes, the consequences are lots of deaths of course. No way around that. But the ruling donor class own the puppets you vote for. And they wont die. They get trillions in tax breaks. Thats what matters.
judging by Dbones super hardline support for TRUMPCARE, i have been assuming Dbones is very wealthy, as they are pretty much the only people who truely gain from this .
Who knows, maybe Dbones just does not review actual policy and is more of a cheerleader who will one day awake to find he or his are not covered and will have to give up his life savings, lose his home etc to pay for a few more years...
who knows...
either way TRUMP lied and it not even trying to deliver what he promised. If trump really tried to delivery a better plan for EVERYONE and it was real? He would get 100% of all democrat votes. every dem already knows that....
Why are these people not buying COBRA once they leave an employer until they are firmly set into another job? These are not the people who are qualifying for Medicaid obviously. Savings are meant for situations just like that. If you have medical issues already you should be proactive in your own situation and not expect the government to bail you out.
The average person really can't afford COBRA coverage, once they're no longer employed. Remember how many people live paycheck to paycheck because wages have not kept up with rising costs these last 40 years! For most folks, shelling out hundreds or a couple thousand a month just isn't possible! Not all of us are upper-middle class with lovely stock portfolios that could float us for a few months or a year! Quickly getting a new job that pays as well as the old one, for a person in their 50's, is about as likely as winning the Powerball Lottery! Must be nice to be in the healthy financial bubble!

This is a sad state of affairs for people for sure. I am not rich but realize my choices are MINE and do not expect others to foot any bill for me.

Sweet lord, the lack of self-awareness is astounding. You live in an organized society largely free of conflict, famine and are insured property rights and a largely impartial judiciary. You drive on roads, fly in safe skies, and eat meat that mostly free of harmful bacteria. You walk on sidewalks, take pills that have been examined for effectiveness, and undergo medical procedures researched at top public universities. Nearly every bit of your existence has been paid for by US, not you, but US as American taxpayers and you have the temerity to say that you are only responsible to yourself? And on a platform developed by public funds nonetheless...
People on breadlines are qualifying for Medicaid so your post is disingenuous. Of course COBRA is not free. Neither is health care.
Sounds as if you never were put in the position to buy COBRA insurance. Nobody can afford it.
