And those Trumpets would vote for the moron again. They have absolutely nobody to blame but themselves â I mean, I really, really, seriously have no sympathy whatsoever for them, zero, zip, zilch, nada, nothing.

Every single one of these Republican senators would vote for this bill if they knew they could get away with it politically. Doesnât matter what the bill does. They donât care. Sad.

Trump Tweets: âPerhapsâ Just Let Obamacare 'Crash & Burn!â
That would certainly be an improvement over the current strategy of dousing it in gasoline, lighting it on fire, and putting a brick on the accelerator.

TranslationâTrump still obsessed with Obama.
Probably has an Obama voodoo doll and a box of pins by his bed.

Trump once again shows his total indifference to human need and suffering. This âwinningâ bull shit is more than I can deal with.

He makes a point without realizing it (the only kind he can make). One thatâs too nasty and bitter for us to face squarely. The choice before Republican âmoderatesâ (and only them, because God knows Democrats are completely out of it) isnât between voting on whatever ACA-repeal abomination comes out of conference or killing it and letting the ACA continue as is.
Rather, itâs a choice between Republicans taking ownership of the chaos and destruction they are determined to unleash on the entire healthcare sector by voting for the AHCA or trying to offload responsibility for the destructionon to Democrats by continued sabotage of the ACA and claiming the structures theyâre dynamiting collapsed on their own.
And by that standard, over the long term, itâs better for the nation if they have to take ownership of the harm theyâre hellbent on causing in order to increase the value of the capital gains income tax break for about 400 wealthyâmostly obscenely soâtaxpayers. The only thing to recommend the latter course to us is that it might buy a reprieve for Medicaid at the cost of the complete collapse of the private individual insurance market and premium spirals for employer provided insurance.
I say this as someone âwith skin in the gameâ to use their favorite phrase. I changed jobs largely because the premium on my unsubsidized crappy bronze Exchange policy doubled in two years, partly because Republicans killed the risk adjustment corridor in 2014 and the Kochtopus Imperial state legislature rejected Medicaid expansion and it was literally threatening my ability to hold on to my house, but mostly based on my assumption that as of Election Night, my chances of holding on even to that terrible policy were slim to none.
And, worse, I recently discovered Iâve got a non-life threatening condition that guarantees Iâm going to have to have an expensive bit of surgery sometime in the next one to five years, depending on how long it takes to unfold. So now I have a built-in pre-existing condition. One I could leave untreated at the cost of a drastic reduction in quality of life, meaning I am chained to working for a company that provides health insurance for the next few years, no matter what at precisely the time employers are once again going to find it more and more difficult to provide insurance.
But the important thing is that people earning more than 200K will get their full 19.6% tax break on their capital gains income rather than having to struggle along with a mere 15.8% break.

I´m not sure to whom you´re referring with ¨Puritans¨, but I might point out that 112 out of 193 D´s cosponsoring a bill that has no chance of becoming law in the present Congress, while a hopeful sign, is not entirely dispositive of the Ds´ resolve should the matter enter the realm of the possible, judging from past performance.

I bought it up, because its one of the things that the âpuritansâ keep bringing up, while discussing these losses. Then Bernieâs name gets thrown into the mix and âaway we goooooâ.
Now I was surprised that Conyers was the first to introduce a modern day version of single payer and thatâs my fault for not knowing. However, iâm not shocked that everything about the bill is being attributed to Sanders.
I donât blame Sanders that much, but again, I have no idea where his views begin and his supporters views end.
