Under the Trump argument, both the law’s protections of pre-existing conditions and its Medicaid expansion, which has provided coverage to 12 million Americans, should be killed.
The good news is you’ve got COVID again.
What, doc?
The bad news is you’ll have to pay for it yourself this time. That’ll be $300,000.
WHAT!
Oh, and you can’t vote until you pay it. I’ll be on the golf course, if you need me.
“Now get out of my office you filthy peasant” is left unsaid?
I’m an unsubsidized individual healthcare buyer. As soon as Trump was elected, I left the exchange and bought my policy directly from my provider because I didn’t want to risk losing my coverage. Now that I’m 61, and have lost 75% of my income for probably the better part of 2 years, I do qualify for a subsidy, but I’m terrified to switch. Originally, I was planning to wait and see if Trump is defeated, but now, with the SC situation, things are even more precarious. I think I have until the end of the year (at least) once open enrollment starts, so I guess I’ll just wait a little longer and dig a little deeper.
Seriously? You call this trolling?
I could train a seal to troll better than this. (And they don’t even have opposable thumbs.)
Remember back when TPM had real trolls – before they all went downhill?
Trolls nowadays…
They just phone it in.
And his Auntie.
Now you just watch it mister. We still have @davidfarrar stop by ocasionally, and he’s the smartest, most clever troll this board has ever seen!
Well we already know that republicans legislate from the bench, because they accuse dems of doing it.
I wonder how Newt is coming with that Term Limits for Senators deal in his Contract on America ; - )
This year’s drop in oil prices has apparently forced Vlad to make some staffing cutbacks.
Tell Putin I said ‘Hi’.
I live in Indiana and one reason the 2 Senators from this state might seem reticent is because when Pence was Governor he took the medicaid expansion money and used to help fund the Indiana Health Plan. Without that money, the plan will be underfunded and hoosiers will either see a big change in coverage or they will be paying more taxes to make up the difference. I don’t think it really occurred to the morons that they might actually have to deal with this possibility some day.
“I think it’s too early. … You’re assuming a lot of things,” Senate Majority Whip John Thune (R-SD) said. “We just want to manage the next few days and weeks, but I am sure there will be plenty of discussion about health care among other economic issues in the future.”
Well we already know that they’re for killing a lot of people, but bankrupting the American hospital system?
Maybe they’re going for a two fer.
I don’t so, not this time. The American people are the ones who will be paying for it. Not just Democrats.
Hold my beer…
They’re gonna catch the Roe-mobile, too.
All the more reason to make sure we take the Senate, have Biden in the White House and get rid of the filibuster - by the time the Supreme Court renders any decision the Democrats could have passed whatever legislation is necessary to shore up the ACA (based on any arguments raised at the SC) thereby negating any ruling that would be against the current iteration.
How great would it be for the backlash against McConnell and his minions to result single payer health care and a jacked up SC with 4 additional non-wingnut justices?
Any judge that Trump picks to replace Ginsburg is expected to be against the law
Took me a few seconds to process that sentence, even though that’s what the whole article is about.
