Are these guarantees?
He may be correct in that nobody will be worse off “financially.” It looks like the poor will be able to suffer more, and die sooner, but with all of their wealth intact.
Worse off financially? Sure, if I can’t afford the new premiums or am denied coverage, I can keep the money I could have contributed to my health care. Oh goody, I’ll die that much richer.
All bald faced lies, I assume – unless he really is that stupid?
Whatever, appalling words coming from a person who holds so much power over the health and well being of EVERY man, woman, and child in the United States.
Didn’t Price say a few weeks ago that money and cost were not the way to evaluate health care policies?
I don’t remember the exact quote, but the message today is not the same.
“They may be moved from a plan that they currently have to a plan that is much more desirable for them to have,” he said. “We are going back to the basics - bloodletting and leeches”
I’m reading Middlemarch currently. The model for GOP health care is about what you see in that novel.
I think he firmly believes that if he lies convincingly enough he can get away with this.
Well now here is a flat out lie. I guess Sec Price does not consider getting far less from the government to pay for your health insurance will make you worse off financially. After all you can just not bother buying health insurance and end up with extra money in your pocket. Going bankrupt due to hospital bills does not really impact your finances. You were broke when you went into the ER for treatment and you just stay broke. Great plan that.
No one believes you, Tommy. Even that man’s supporters are beginning to realize how fucked they will be.

Trump supporters in the heartland fear being left behind by GOP health plan
Republican proposal would upend a healthcare system in Indiana that covers many low-income people – in a program that Mike Pence put in place
"I’ll tell you that the plan that we’ve laid out here will not leave
that number of individuals uncovered,” he said**. “In fact I believe,**
again, that we’ll have more individuals covered."
…
The Affordable Care Act made sure everyone was covered. Or at least made sure everyone had the opportunity for coverage thru the marketplace. How can Price get this new act to cover more than everybody?
Pardon me but did not Obamacare have the individual mandate? If a person did not have some sort of coverage then there was an income tax penalty? The question is there in my accountant’s tax organizer…
Maybe Price s so wealthy he has no understanding of the ACA law.
Know what I say to all that?
another fucking idiot
“I believe, I believe, I believe”… No facts, no numbers… nothing. The majority of americans aren’t going to be sheeple like the folks that elected your lot. Prove it with numbers, or just admit you have no idea what you are talking about.
He really is that stupid. And that venal. And that uncaring.

I dunno about that. Check back in in November 2018 and we’ll see.
The American people are pretty easy to fool…just ask Dubya, or the 2010 midterms, or the 2014 midterms, or the general election last year.
I can’t help thinking of the Scott Walker recall election, which failed miserably…I will believe it, when I see it.
Tom “firmly believes”, as he puts its, his own twaddle. The GOP’s rape of the poor and middle classes is in sharp contrast to the day to day opulence of “dictator chic” enjoyed by fearless leader.

After my book Dictator Style came out, friends and editors would call me to alert me to the latest tranche of pictures to be released: unverified photos of Robert Mugabe’s plutocratic-looking house in Zimbabwe, the sacked Qadhafi compound in Tripoli and the Yanukovych palace in Kyiv. Each time, I felt as if I could predict every last chair cover and golden heroic beast. Come on, I’d think, surprise me!
Then, in late 2015, I came across a set of pictures with no identifying text. They appeared to show a gigantic apartment in what looked, from the windows, very much like New York. But I know Manhattan and its sophisticated style pretty well, and at first glance, you would think the place didn’t belong to an American but to a Russian oligarch, or possibly a Saudi prince with a second home in the United States. There were overscaled rooms, and obviously incorrect-looking historical detailing and proportions. The home had lots of gilded French furniture and the strange impersonal look of a hotel lobby, with chairs and sofas placed uncomfortably far from one another. There were masses of gold; there were the usual huge chandeliers, branded relics of famous sportsmen like Muhammad Ali, and mushroom-colored marble floors. There was relatively little in the way of paintings, but otherwise, the place reeked of dictator chic.
About as good an appraisal of Trump as I’ve ever read.
Hey Tommy! Ever hear of the INDIVIDUAL MANDATE under the ACA? It means the law requires us to have coverage
That means everybody.
OK so… the question remains…how to cover more than everybody
