With Trumpcare you not only donā€™t get to see your own doctor; youā€™re lucky if you get to see one at all.

The revised CBO score with the $75 billion in tax credits might be worse than the initial one. Under Republicare, premiums would spike for a couple years, throwing many older Americans off insurance; after their departure the average age of pools would be younger and thus premiums would decrease slightly. But if you throw money at the problem without fixing the underlying issue, youā€™re merely prolonging that spike over a longer period of time.

Trumpcare hurts millions in desperate need and helps people who donā€™t need help. That makes it a typical Republican bill.

Obamacare has many shortcomings. Stingy benefits, high deductibles, difficult access and insufficient coverage are all errors on the side of being too conservative. For anyone to think conservatives have solutions for anything, is ridiculous on its face.

I suppose if insurers, drug and device makers, doctors, nurses, dentists, pharmacists, etc. could all just spontaneously take voluntary, coordinated haircuts, it would increase benefits, access and coverage while lowering deductibles and sparing the government a lot of effort. But now weā€™re in unicorns-farting-rainbows territory.

Is there a more despicable pair that ā€œThe Mickā€ at OMB and Dr. Mengele at HHS? Mengele is an out-and-out stock scamming whore. Did that sack of excrement come from a wealthy family? By that Iā€™m asking who financed his education? Was it the taxpayer? If so we got a terrible deal. Sad.
