The trillion dollar tax cut for the wealthy is mentioned halfway through the article. Guarantee you that part goes through unchanged.
They aren’t going to “rename it Trump Care” or go wobbly because the constituents complain. It’s gone.
It won’t make a bit of difference for any district more than R+5.
So it took one day for the opposition in the house to cool down! Collins in Senate will now support it as new bill has been changed to her liking.
This is going to be morbidly interesting to see if they pass a bill that hurts so many folks. Sadly I think this is what it will take to wake some folks up to how bad this like almost all Republican plans are for most folks, especially their voters.
Well, it was a campaign promise after all…
As I said in another comment elsewhere, I think they are going to bat this around for 4 years and do nothing. They know anything less than Ocare, like this current bill, will screw folks and the only better alternative, universal, will show all their claims against it as total lies.
Dear TPM, when you repost things from AP, please look for obvious errors and assumptions first.
“You can expect more town hall meetings you won’t want to go to,” said Rep. Sander Levin, D-Mich., a reference to liberal activists who hounded Republicans during last month’s recess. [emphasis added]
The idea that all protestors were liberal activists is a framing on the right. They’ve offered no proof of it, and it diminishes the true anger in the country and gives them cover to go ahead and ignore their constituents. Please don’t buy into this framing and passively spread it by reposting under your banner.
gutless, cowardly and oh yeah, shameless.
You need to remember that WE are the ones that staple the name “TrumpCare” onto this fiasco. Make it a battle cry.
Stephen Bannon offered up his own plan he calls “Nazi-care.”
I noticed the same thing. Kind of absurd considering there is a post right alongside this one about a Trump voter protesting Trumpcare.
Don’t just post that in the comments, email TPM.
