Collectively, young people hate being forced to buy health insurance which subsidizes the elderly but want free college subsidized by the elderly. Farmers are often Republicans who hate subsidies except farm supports.
It reminds me of the homeless people who first beg and then curse when you waive them away. So much entitlement, and this is why I hate to give my tax dollars because you people are truly not grateful, you feel entitled.
Blackmail - lol. Just pointing out what is apt to happen if Trump turns on his base and those states turn blue again. Dems want single payer.
Nah, the bald truth is that all of these hysterical, emotional appeals get to the point of making folks tone deaf. Just can't hear it anymore. The CBO is so wrong on so much, it hardly bears paying attention.
Go back to projecting presidential election result with the quasi-facts and statistics. You were more successful with that.

The legislation has to be about cutting costs off at the knees. Either insurance companies and the healthcare industry are going to take a massive hit, or we're talking about leaving an entire generation to die.
A CBO analysis on anything is about as reliable as a diagnosis of death from a hang nail.

This is real freedom right there for the elderly. According to the CBO, headed by a republican, a 64-year old has to pay $14 600 for insurance under Trumpcare. Today, he or she pays $1700 on average. The young healthy generations are compelled to subsidize the elderly under the current mandate system. Thats what insurance is. The healthy subsidize the sick. Just like the drivers with no accidents subsidize the ones who do get into accidents.
Trumpcare would devastate rural, elderly America. Thats freedom right there.
There is no way the CBO, republican or democrat, or anyone else, can know this. The 2017 insurance plans haven't even been written yet, let alone priced and negotiated with the states.
Health insurance works on an annual schedule. The carriers decide which markets they want to pursue during January and February. The plans are written by the end of April and priced. Then the carriers roll the plans out to the states in May. They negotiate the policy price and benefits throughout the summer. The plans are agreed to generally by Labor Day, printed up and rolled out to the big employers and unions in the fall. Then they are made public around the first of November. So anyone who tells you they know what is going to happen before Labor Day is full of baloney. (And they have to be pretty well connected to know what it's going to be in September, too.)
What is known is that under Obamacare, 21 counties in Tennessee will have no carrier at all. Humana has already announced it is pulling out of the state and it was the only insurer for about one fifth of the state. Other Obamacare carriers have not announced where they will market their plans next year. So in terms of devastating rural, elderly America, what about all the rural elderly people in those Tennessee counties...?
is this real? or did I miss the parody here? Just because you don't like something or it doesn't support your view doesn't mean it's bogus or fake...you're aware of this right???
