Backed by “spreadsheets or whatever”?
Literally “death by Powerpoint”.
Death by ballot box is what they all deserve.

Yeah, but they will keep access to health care.

That emergency room will still be there … probably with a new expanded waiting room.

15 million was the “best case” scenario from Brookings. They say its very likely that it will be many millions more than that number.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have all these assholes on record voting for this crapola just before the CBO score is published? When is the floor vote?

None of those 15 million people will be congressional republicans.

“Report: 15 Million People Will Lose Health Coverage Under GOP Repeal Bill.”

In other words, for Republicans this is a feature, not a bug.

Trumpublicans-- “Is that all? We were hoping to relieve at least 20 million of the burden of health care coverage.”

The hospitals are aware of that and can’t stand this bill. And that will affect ALL of us even those who have good coverage through their employers

But The Free Market! Those people will feel so much better knowing that they are dying free rather than living in serfdom. Especially when they see how much the rich are getting in tax cuts.

For some reason this reminds me of that infamous interview near the beginning of the war in Iraq, where a reporter is asking an interpreter whether the kid with his hands blown off knows that we did it to free him.

15 million is all? There probably aren’t any corporate donors in that group and that’s only 5% of the population of the entire US. “Who cares, screw em” AMIRIGHT Republicans?

A modest proposal, someone should offer an amendment that put Congress on the AHCA. If it’s good enough for the rest of America, it’s good enough for the congress-critters, amirite?

“The Republican bill to repeal the Affordable Care Act is moving full steam ahead—approved by two committees this week on party line votes—…”

TrumpCare—approved by two committees this week on party line votes—…

FIFY

And BTW, everyone should really breathe this in slowly, because it’s almost unbearably hilarious that they’re so fucking cocky and smug and so filed with avarice that they put themselves on record BEFORE the CBO report that will come out saying this (or something close to it). FUCKING. HILARIOUS. They could’ve saved themselves if they just waited, but no, apparently they just couldn’t wait to climb the gallows.

Shear genius! Simplicity! What’s the best way to cut insurance costs? Don’t provide it. Now that’s some real American pragmatism.

Nancy Reagan brilliantly solved our nation’s illegal drug use with 3 simple words: Just Say No.

Paul “Ayn Rand” Ryan needs to solve our health care problem the same way: Don’t Get Sick.

Done and Done. Next problem, please.

Patient: Doc, it hurts when I do this.
Doctor: Don’t do that.
