and if you thought the rollout for aca was a clusterfuck; you ainā€™t seen nothing yet when the republicans go thru with thisā€¦
(uh, isnā€™t revision of the gazillion pages long tax code one of the gop prioritiesā€¦ and here they go already complicating it further.)

Understand this: All the threats to the Affordable Care Act affect EVERYBODY, not just people currently buying insurance with the subsidies SCOTUS might take away.

If ACA fails, for whatever reason, ALL insurance is threatened. ACA has already lowered rate increases for employer-based insurance and Medicare, but premiums will rise rapidly if millions of people now getting ACA coverage (whether with subsidies or not) are tnrown off their policies. Disastrous effects will flow to all patients.

Tom Price is not one of the Houseā€™s strobe lights. This should be fun to watch.

And in the spirit of fair turnabout, treatment for emergency room patients identified as Republicans will be limited to bandaids and placebos.

Umm, not that the GOP cadre of ALEC-Fred C. Koch twins-Federalist troglodytes often err outside of reason, but how are Medicare recipients supposed to find employers who will hire them if they are preexisting patients?

wonder what morons in the backroom wrote this bill up.

And what part of the Constitution allows the Federal Government to impose ā€œtort reformā€ on the States, and state courts?

Most large states have already passed ā€œtort reformā€ laws, for example, MICRA, in California, passed in the 70ā€™s and sign by then (and now) Governor Brown, caps pain and suffering awards at $250,000.

Would the Federal law override the state law? How, and on what basis?

Perhaps I am wrong here, but you canā€™t exactly get a tax credit if you donā€™t pay taxesā€¦is that correct? How does this help people who canā€™t really afford insurance afford insurance?

Sounds like really crappy legislation to me.

Well, that didnā€™t take long. Instead of finding ways to put people back to work, Republicans are so focused on depriving people from access to medical care.

This piece of crap bill doesnā€™t say anything about pre-existing conditions. Or about kids being able to stay on their parentā€™s plan, a really popular feature of the ACA.
