Well, right now I have the right to purchase lousy health insurance that doesn't cover what I need, but is EXPENSIVE.
So I'm looking for an alternative.
Stan, these people could care less that people like me and you are paying a lot of money (me, $920 a month) for lousy healthcare insurance. If they did give a damn they would be in agreement that something has to be done to bring down premiums.
Not likely the Senate will let it pass, without major changes. But if it does, Trumpists can celebrate and revel in the delicious knowledge that tens of millions of less-affluent people will have no affordable or adequate health care.
And if it passes they can revel in the fact that both the House and Senate won't have to be covered by it.

I completely agree that something needs done. The odds that it is this are very slim.
Color me confused. What did anyone win in this deal? The right to purchase lousy health insurance that doesn't cover what they need, but is cheap? The right to not be able to purchase anything near affordable because they were born with some sort of medical problem? The right to let your employer gut your insurance? Please, tell me what you won here.
The right to purchase catastrophic only if you want it. Which is what many people need and is much cheaper.
The right to not purchase insurance if i don't want to.
There are some controls to protect those with preexisting conditions. How good they are I don't know.
Nancy Pelosi claims that this is a transfer of wealth. LOL. How can you transfer wealth from people who don't have enough money to pay insurance premiums themselves.
Blood? I was too busy noticing your hands in my pocket... for someone who likes something, you do everything so that you don't pay for it either... ironic...
I can say with absolute confidence my hand was nowhere near your pocket, nor could there be any reason short of a suicide wish that would induce me to do so...
Incidentally, I'm doing quite well in the finance department without need of yours or anyone else's assistance, thank you very much.

Many people DO feel that they are paying too much, and many have been saying changes need to be made to the ACA. A repeal and replace was not needed.
This bill, if passed by the Senate, will only hurt more Americans.
thanks i was worried we would not be able to retake the house or senate in 2018, this brings us so much closer. We will use this against every GOP member of the house come election time. the cheering, the music and the na na na will haunt them.
Most of those who voted for this did so because that is what there constituents wanted.
