The CBO score did not reflect Sen. Ted Cruz’s (R-TX) proposed amendment to allow insurers to sell unregulated plans, but it did reflect the bill’s deep, longterm cuts to Medicaid.
why not?
Maybe it just needs some air in the tires? Saw this on TV news at lunch! Another good reason for the 2nd amendment…to be fixed!
Well they’ve officially proved Einstein’s definition of insanity. Keep trying again boys!
“Democrats in the Senate remain eager to work with Republicans to pass real solutions to lower premiums, stabilize the market and improve coverage for millions of Americans.”
Schumer continues to parrot the same talking points as the Republicans. Meanwhile 27 million remain uninsured under Obamacare. What is the Democrat’s “real solution,” Chuck?
Do I need to look for the Ellison tweet that endorses this act?
Thanks for the link, Inversion! That is really hopeful!
How do we get Schumer to start talking about that?
Slimy Ted.

Takes me back to the early 2000s and learning about Walmart’s use of “Peasant” Life Insurance plans, and that former Senator Phil Gramm had been pushing these as investment vehicles for corporations to fatten up their exec. compensation funds in his post senate career.
They’re gonna keep right on trying, though. “What about if we delay these caps for five years? Seven? Do I hear a seven?”
One or two things are obvious about your statement, you don’t know what Google is, or how to use or your Fox bought laptop etc that has Google blocked out on it, what is it?
Now find someone that knows how to read and able to comprehend what they’ve read at the same time to explain to you why there’re still uninsured Americans!
From the Tierney Sneed article “The score did not reflect any analysis of a proposal being offered by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) that would let insurers sell unregulated plans because that amendment was not in the bill text submitted to the CBO its Thursday score.”
He’s one of the good guys with guns, right?
Thanks
I am not sure what your point is other than some attempt at weird insults, but I refer to this article in regards to understanding why there are 27 million still uninsured under Obamacare, not the old links you provided.
If Sen. Paul’s vote can be bought, so can the votes of other holdouts.
As for Schumer’s comment, he fails to grasp that leaving millions worse off is the intent, not a byproduct.
You do realize that there are many different reasons why people remain uninsured now don’t you?
Is this recent enough for you? I particularly like the last 2 sentence’s below!
The number of Americans without health insurance rose in first quarter 2017
11.3 percent of U.S. adults were without health insurance coverage in the first quarter.
The uninsured rate is up from 10.9 percent in the third and fourth quarters of last year.
This still sits below a 2013 peak for uninsured rates for American adults.
Despite the increase Gallup found in its survey, the rate of adults without insurance remains well below a peak hit in the third quarter of 2013, when 18 percent of U.S. adults lacked health insurance, according to the researcher’s data.
Of course the ACA helped get more people covered.
But having 27 million still uninsured for whatever reasons is not acceptable. Particularly when the reason for almost half that number is because insurance is too expensive. And the rates are still rising way over the inflation rate, so we may see that number grow even more.
We have to do better. Universal Healthcare polls well. Democrats should embrace it now, and not just talk about “lower premiums, stabilize the market and improve coverage for millions of Americans.” The United States National Health Care Act, or the Expanded and Improved Medicare for All Act is a great place to start.
Looks like an alcohol related incident to me.
