Don’t worry. DT voters will have the freedom to accumulate cancer cells for an additional 6 months while they contemplate their own part in making sure this bill saw the light of day.

What in the world does this even mean? And what is the logic for why it is helpful? A waiting period seems unnecessary. Paperwork wise it makes sense the way it is. A waiting period could really hurt a fair number of people needlessly. And what more would be learned over that period of time?

Welp, there goes Ayn Rand Paul into the definite “no” column.

I think we can recognize that good christian punishment for the sin of being “irresponsible” – never mind that they are gutting the subsidies that would make it possible for people to keep continuous coverage.

Exactly. But “man alive” were not the words I’d use. Thanks for keeping it clean.

China will reportedly be placed in the third tier of the State Department’s ranking system, putting the country in the lowest category that is reserved for nations that fail to reach the minimum standards to thwart human trafficking, the AP said.

The categorization for China comes as the Trump administration in recent months has urged it to help combat North Korea’s nuclear ambitions.

So the insurance companies will be refusing coverage to sick people who have had a break in coverage. The call center workers will be great at telling people tough luck when they are sick and need coverage.

So big insurance companies are so in love with the ACA givaway they support repealing it… (/s intended to puritans).
