Those who do not drive resent it when their taxes go towards roads.

People who do not use public transportation resent subsidies given to those who do.

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.

Actually, most of the wealth is in the hands of old people...the ones that you typically want to give cheaper health insurance at the cost of overcharging the poorest segment of the US which is young people.

Think before you just start spewing dogma.

Wrong, Trump tweeted in favor of the bill the day it was released. Trump is playing you. He's the ultimate crony capitalist hack.

Just kidding, that's Trump today without the tupee and tanning lotion.

Why do I have the feeling that there is a bald Trump daughter that nobody's ever seen?

Good one Finn!!!

Seeing Trump and the Republican congress as a unified force is a bit myopic. If this passes, Trump will probably sign it. But I don't see him willing to throw himself on his sword in order to make this bill pass. There is a distinction and I urge you to look harder for it.

At least watching the two clowns frantically trying to shove the other in front of the bus is providing a bit of entertainment. They do say that laughter is the best medicine.

Funny, Trump tweeted about 'OUR" wonderful healthcare bill in reference to AHCA.
https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/...86723552411648

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

Actually, I worked for the Feds where everyone pays the same price regardless of age or whether you're retired. I do have maternity coverage, but as a 60+ male don't expect to use it! Maybe the Donald has the same Federal BCBS I have! Pay one price!
