Ouch. Still, words to live by, especially if one is a republican.

The main problems House Republicans have is that they don’t really understand how our healthcare system works, or the ACA… or basic economics. Anyway, expecting them to propose legislation that would do anything other than to make things far worse for most people is a bit like asking someone who knows nothing about internal combustion engines to tune up your car.

As a wise philosopher once said

Nobody knew health care could be so complicated

Did I say wise? And philosopher? I meant a dumbass orange cheeto.

Sorry, this is just wrong. The ENTIRE GOP are killers.

Keep in mind this bill came from Ryan, who is considered a moderate Republican. The Right Wing of the GOP thinks Obama was born in Kenya and that ‘legitimate rape’ cannot lead to birth.

This is what we get for not teaching home economics is school anymore. You can’t re-engineer insurance, so the poor, sick and elderly – pay for the rich, healthy and young.

Trumpcare is Wealthcare.

The “win” for the Republicans here, is that we made the bill worse, but we didn’t make any more people lose coverage! YAY!

At this point, it’s hard to argue with the statement that this is not a bug, it’s a feature.

I’m thinking of Everett Dirksen and paraphrasing: : “A million here, a million there, pretty soon, you’re talking real money, er, people.”

Excellent. The only thing that would make it better is for it to reduce the deficit even less.

Excelsior, Republicans! Way.To.Go.

If they repeal the EHB, it will. More people will be able to afford crappy insurance policies and will take those tax credits – that’s why Ryan didn’t include that element in the original bill.

Fabulous. I want this bill to break apart in a million spinning pieces and fail so miserably even right wing radio calls it a Ryan/Trump turkey.

Fuck Van Sustern. In an interview with someone who hadn’t seen the bill, she said the same thing happened when the ACA came to a vote.

He had to be a republican, but I just turned it on to see this.

Come on, MSNBC!! Don’t do this.

Oh great. She’s arguing with a dem about how much went into the ACA.

Please remove that offensive picture from this article. Or at least circumcise that goddamned thing.

“24 million people would still lose insurance over 10 years under the revised legislation, and it would do far less than the original bill to reduce the federal deficit.”

OOOPSY POOPSY!
