I am beginning to think the reason Republicans are meeting behind closed doors to draft Trumpcare is more about appearance than substance.

I do not believe the bill will be (fill in superlative) like Trump says therefore, they are really putting together a marketing plan.

They are studying car salesman 101... "It's all about the customer believing they got a good deal!"

Without increasing taxes (No chance, they plan to lower them for the wealthy) or military cuts (again, no chance. The military is Republican Welfare) this plan cannot sustain itself any better than Obamacare.

Time to scrap it all and hammer out a bi-partisan universal healthcare.

All the car salesman 101 in the world is not going change that eventually, Republicans will have to come out of that room and let people see what they voted for. Even other Republicans don't know what they are cooking up in there. And McConnell wants to rush it fast to a vote before July 4th and then everyone rush out for a break. Wait until Kentucky sees what McConnell does to them, that should be entertaining at least.

I have very little sympathy for Kentucky. McConnell told them he was going to repeal the ACA "root and branch" but assured them they could keep their very popular exchange. And the idiots never put it together that without the ACA the exchange is worthless.

Their idiocy saddled us with six more years of this ass. They deserve what's coming to them.

Obamacare was wonderful. Its a dream come true to buy something expensive I can't use.
Those stupid people who bought it but couldn't afford to use it should have made more money or less money so someone else could of paid for it. No one can beat Obamacare. Its just that good.
Republicans are wasting their time.

Kentucky is usually ranked the State most dependent on federal assistance.
It's the Number 1 Welfare State.

And they overwhelmingly voted for Trump. Watching this play out should be good.

Once the country actually sees what they voted for, watch how fast they run from town halls. When they order the kegger to celebrate, hopefully a lot of pictures are taken for the opposition ads.

It turned out that the Affordable Care Act, was not so affordable after all. You have to give Trump credit for atleast trying to fix Obama's mess.

Taking health coverage away from 23 million people by 2020, increasing costs for those 50 and older by 5 times and removing pre-existing conditions limits is what Trump's party wants.
