It’s the “drinking liberal tears” attitude turned into national healthcare (non)policy. What are these people if not stupid(1) and evil.
(1)Stupid defined as doing things to purposefully hurt people, but in consequence, it hurts oneself even more.

Proving the GOP is 100% politics and dominance and 0% about policy and the general well being of the country. They are hellbent on making the country more (postbrownback) Kansas - all pain - and eventually more taxes - but with degradation to services and infrastructure that will take years to rebuild. And doing this by choice, not as a result of a catastrophic external event (such as a Katrina).

I thought Texas had all the money they need. They’re willing to secede after all. Why not just let the great Texas experiment thrive with zero “fedral gov’mint” assistance. That kind of government would slide down any size bathtub drain.
And you thought the Civil War was over? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! This is all about shifting the money away from liberals and darkies (which they equate at this point anyway) to the rightful whiteful owners of the universe. Period. End of fucking story.
Yeah! That’ll teach them Yankees for trying to do some good things for their state citizens. Health care, shmealth care. Let’s build some new Civil War Monuments! The South shall Rise Again! Yeeeehaaaah!
Is the sunset after 10 years how they get around reconciliation, or is it a deliberate plan to hold the entire country hostage?
The taker states being given additional opportunity to take at the expense of the states who pay for the southern states(takers)
so other reporting has this particular version of deathcare reform as being actually nastier than the earlier failed versions, as concessions won by non-radical repubes during the earlier fiascos are not included in this version
I recall earlier version(s) contemplating putting an income tax on employer contributions to worker health care, taxing currently untaxed healthcare benefits as income, since there is no debate on this matter, how do we know that there is not a provision like this in the current version?
On another topic, do repubes actually think that the individual market is “decoupled” from the the group market? That spikes in premiums will not occur on the group side as the individual side collapses. Granted, I may be totally naive on this topic, but I don’t see how something that is likely to impact bottom lines of health care providers (uninsured patients not paying bills) not being spread out among those with coverage to make up some of the loss, just like before ACA.

Are the Republicans now just trying to break the country up?
QUANTIFICATION!
Tea Pain‏ @TeaPainUSA
Kochs pledge 400 million to GOP if they repeal Obamacare.
400,000,000 Ă· 32,000,000 lose insurance = $12.50
One life is worth $12.50!
What, did the Russian money run out?
So the Red states that hate being taxed want to get their hands on the tax dollars that other citizens in other states have paid? Cute.
Like when we finally have to pay back the fifty trillion dollars in debt the Republicans run up?
