“I believe that my stocks receive eternal 30% returns, therefore they do”
–BaghdadBobSpicer
Based on RepublicanLogic™, I never have to pay taxes again, because I Believe that my income is zero, regardless of what my employer paid me.
The numbers are based on how many less people will be getting health care.
If the amount of people on healthcare is different then what they think then the amount of “savings” they also think will change.
Not that i expect any logic coming out of his mouth.
Spice boy, from The Week magazine:
For example, the economists at the CBO — headed by a conservative economist, Keith Hall, hand-picked by Republicans in Congress — disagree with President Trump and congressional Republicans that ObamaCare is a “disaster” imploding in an unsustainable “death spiral”:
I won’t copy and paste the rest, if you’re interested :
Spin it baby, spin it good!
“CBO coverage estimates are consistently wrong, and more importantly, did not take into consideration the comprehensive nature of the three-pronged plan to repeal and replace Obamacare with the American Health Care Act,” Spicer said.
The CBO evaluated the prong that you gave them. If you want them to evaluate additional prongs, you have to provide them for evaluation.
The prong you gave them sucks, Mr. Spicer.
Typical…we’ll take the part of the report we LIKE and tell you how smart they are but the stuff we don’t agree with? SAD!!!
“CBO coverage estimates are consistently wrong, and more importantly, did not take into consideration the comprehensive nature of the three-pronged plan to repeal and replace Obamacare with the American Health Care Act,” Spicer said.
He says a lot of goofy shit. By the way, can we unveil the “three prongs”? I suspect it looks a lot like a pitchfork. Just more lies from the Trump criminal organization.
On top of all that, the BULK of the “336 Billion in Deficit Reduction over ten years” in the bill is only described in a small footnote of IMMENSE meaning;
On page 33 of the report, footnote f. the tables result in;
“Approximately 17,000 people could die in 2018 who otherwise would have lived if a House Republican health proposal endorsed by the Trump administration becomes law. By 2026, the number of people killed by Trumpcare could grow to approximately 29,000 in that year alone.”
It is LITERALLY A DEATH PANEL!!!
That’s based on calculations ThinkProgress has done using the numbers in the CBO report plugged into a study that estimates the change in Massachusetts mortality rates after that state enacted the health law that Obamacare was largely modeled after. It found that one death was prevented for every 830 adults aged 20-64 who was covered. From there the math is straightforward: “Fourteen million divided by 830 equals 16,867 people potentially sentenced to die by Trumpcare. By 2026, if the CBO’s estimate is correct, that number could rise to 28,916 deaths in one year.”
“But, but it’s the dollars stupid not the people we are trying to save here.” Spiceboi said under his breath at the barrage to logic and math coming at him.
