I’m ill. . . . most of all because of the removal of the healthcare mandate. Many young adults will drop their insurance because of costs (My 27-year old’s policy just went up 50%) and lack of penalty. This will cause the pool to be older and sicker and premiums will skyrocket. It’s also difficult to reimpose a mandate once eliminated. The rest of the tax bill is garbage as well.
OT, but the WSJ is just reporting that Corker has hid millions of $ in real estate and hedge fund income from his financial disclosure forms. Does that help explain his vote change?

This is going to be a disaster. I hope that it will be rescinded or reversed after the 2018 midterms and the incoming navy blue tidal wave.

That’s a wonderful campaign picture. Put it on billboards everywhere. Caption: These men just took away your health insurance.

I doubt that will happen until 2021 when there’s a new president. We’re going to have to live with this shitshow and everything and everyone damaged in the short run. This is what people get when they don’t vote or vote their “conscience”.

Except for MacArthur, NJ’s Republican delegation voted no, as did Issa and Rohrabacher.

Unfortunately, not likely anytime soon. The House will hopefully flip, but few Repub senators up for grab in 2018, and too many Dem Senators up for re-election. So, the Senate may remain in Repub hands or split. Then, assuming Trump is still in power, both houses would have to override an expected veto.

A very sad day for America.

“In February, when the new brackets are out, and people get the $100 to $150, they’ll see,”insisted Collins"

This is the literal equivalent of the swarmy car sales man that gives you 100 off a polished lemon that will cost you thousands to repair.
