Discussion: Rep. Says Bill Will Affect Those Who Wait 'Until They're Sick' To Get Coverage (VIDEO)

We will crush you Walden. This ‘bill’ is absolute BS and YOU KNOW IT. You have decided to align with Trump and call it ‘winning’ even though you know this is against ALL your principles and all the crap you whined about for the last 8 years. I don’t care that you will throw it to the Senate. You will OWN this…over and over again.

People with pre-existing conditions usually don’t have to wait very long before they get sick.

If we had a single-payer system, wouldn’t everyone be covered from the outset? Just asking.

I am really glad that I invested in that pitchfork factory stock! From the looks of it, there is going to be a big demand for pitchforks.

Are they stupid, ignorant, or just evil? Or all of the above?

I agree on that. Not only do I not think this issue is going away, it’s going to be even more heightened as the year progresses. I just don’t see this as going on the back burner anytime soon.

You know, when you see a headline like this, you don’t even have to read the text to know that the rep in question has an ® after his/her name.

Agreed. Especially, if this thing gets passed, at the end of the year, when people need to renew their coverage and find out they can’t get anywhere near the same coverage, even at a much higher price. That’s the kind of thing people don’t forget.

Liar, liar pants on fire. Also, more than likely this bill will need 60 senate members to pass out of the Senate. Ryan obviously did not tell his members who are voting yes putting their careers on the line for a bill that will never pass out of congress. The Bryd rule will come into effect.

RAyn not only doesn’t give a shit about the little guy, he doesn’t give a shit about his fellow Goopers.

He only wants a checkmark in the column. He’s as bad as Drumpfie.

A whole lot of people are going to be sick when this surprise package gets a CBO score.

The thing is, they know very well it will need 60 votes to get out of the Senate. As far as the House is concerned, that’s a feature, not a bug. They don’t want this thing to pass, because they know if it goes into effect they are screwed. They want to make the Dems filibuster it so they can go back to their Districts and say, to people who paid no attention to the actual contents of the bill, that they tried to repeal Obamacare and replace it with “something better,” but the terrible Dems prevented them from doing so.

This isn’t a health care bill, no matter how it’s dressed. It’s a wealth transfer bill.

So you’re saying that we don’t want people waiting until they’re sick to get coverage? You’re saying that what we want is for people to be getting coverage, and paying premiums, while they’re healthy? Is that what you’re saying? Because if that’s what we want, maybe we should have a, let me see, I’m trying to think of the word, it’s something like “mandrake.” A rule. A requirement that everyone get health insurance coverage even if they think they’re so healthy that they don’t need to. What’s the word for that again? I forget. But is that what you’re saying we need?

They’re gonna be even more sick when that mean THEM, not some vague, anonymous person somewhere else.

But we will still have the names of the Reps who voted “yes”, so it’s a loss for them no matter how you cut it.

Because the CBO will deliver, those with “safe” employer-based insurance will wake up to find out how “safe” they now are, and all the rest of the scam will come out.

But we’ve got names. And we know where their districts are.
