There is no reason I should be helping to pay two thirds of Medicare coverage for seniors. They only contribute about a third of their costs. So Paul Ryan taking a machete to Medicare will make me laugh and laugh and laugh. Because seniors typically vote Republican! So good! They can't complain because he's their guy! Everything seniors have been complaining about Obamacare they blissfully ignore when they are the ones benefitting. Slash Paul Ryan, slash! This is so poetic.
Why stop there? I say abolish Medicare and Medicaid. These are socialist programs and have no place in our capitalist country.
As long as people like you refuse to let states control immigration from other states and give states the options to levy tariffs on other states, states can never be "the best incubators". And the puppets of big pharma and insurance corporations who you vote for know this.
I hope a lot of Republicans lose their health care coverage. Trump's their president, they have to smile and say thank you sir may I have another?
Yes, all those deplorables who voted for Trump will be able to thank him for having either no insurance or super expensive insurance, with not nearly as much coverage. HA HA HA. You crazies will finally come to love Obama, who gave you decent health care coverage!!!!!
Republicans opposed ACA from before day one, 8 years and they didn't have an alternative ready to go? Trump promised "something better", where is it? This is a pretty weak response to something they hated with every fiber of their being. ACA wasn't the answer, but if they just announced the highlights of their version, this doesn't sound much better.
Trump doesn't seem to have had much input - other than providing some math support from OMB. So far, this is just Ryan's version put together by two House committees with some Republicans in the Senate already objecting to the Medicaid phase out.
It's a plus to see the credits adjusted for income but, again, without scoring not sure what that means monetarily once the kid ages off our policy. Also, our employer-provided insurance is good but not so good that we would probably have been impacted by any tax changes. But so far none of those - for now.
Maybe they will. I'm a Democrat and I pay huge taxes. I get no government benefits, I paid for my own college and I have a long line of military in my family. But I don't agree with Republicans and I find Trump repellent. The one thing I want to see is this country get so much Trump they develop PTSD at the sound of his name. Paul Ryan controlling all this is just funny, the guy that has been wanting to privatize Medicare and Social Security for years. I hope they get it all, everything they want, and seniors are left going "what happened?" Because seniors have been fine with younger voters paying two thirds of their health care, it will be poetic to see them gouged by their own party.
You probably don't pay that much taxes, judging by the time and posts you post here. Let's not try to fib us.
All those poor people, especially in rural areas get no sympathy from me. You voted for these charlatans knowing you had no healthcare coverage before ACA.
Good luck with the ER where you most likely have to drive miles and miles when the medical issue is already at stage 4. Death panels have arrived.
Trump has said he will not touch Medicate. The "Grey Panthers" will revote if they take away Medicare for current recipients. Many of these seniors voted for Trump (shows you dementia is rampant). Besides, the government has been earning interest or liberally using all the money paid in by seniors for Medicare for 40 years.

Do it. Effective immediately. Republicans should live the results of their votes.
