I think I pay 35$ a month for my iPhone. You mean I could get a plan for the same price?

Comments from Breitbart:

I was checking out Ben Shapiro's tweets and all the comments on them - these people are pissed and full of rage. They're saying things like the republicans are democrat socialists in disguise and that they need to put even more hardcore conservatives in.


Purity tests never end. We just need to split as a country.

It's not bad. WTF is wrong with you weirdos?

The mandate is gone and that's great news. To pay a 30% increase for a year and not have it be mandated by government is much better than being forced to pay what essentially is a LIFE TAX.

The fukking media has you idiots by the balls I swear.

"But if she had a lapse in coverage longer than 63 days — perhaps she couldn’t afford a new plan between jobs — and went to the individual market later, insurers could charge her a 30 percent premium surcharge. She would need to pay that higher premium for a full year before returning to the standard rate."

- This is not a tax

- Insurers could opt NOT to do it.

- The mandate is gone.

You a$$holes need to stop feigning concern about shyt.

No mandate = less people in the marketplace = higher premiums for EVERYONE

The 30% surcharge (for 1 year only) will not discourage healthy people from staying out of the market until they actually get sick. This means that the pool of insured individuals will be disproportionately made up of sick individuals. Which means more cost to the insurance companies, which means premium rate hikes

The mandate was put in place to keep premiums from skyrocketing due to pre-existing conditions clause

If you don't want the mandate, you need to take out pre-existing conditions. And if you want to do that, then fukk you

Be an idiot, brehs

Lol, Breitbart's goddamn CEO is in the White House and it's still not conservative enough. They won't even entertain the notion that they were sold a fake bill of goods and that Republican's can't govern as they campaigned.

Also, link.

Heritage's political arm has officially come out against the plan. A few months in, and the GOP is already in civil war.

and the result of these post 2010 radical data driven gerrymandering is that they can get more hardcore conservatives to replace the ones that aren't wingnuttery enough.

Jason Chaffetz is a Jew who converted to Mormonism in his college years.

Think about the level of sycophancy and self-loathing that takes.

Pay higher premiums to cover emergency room visits of those who don't have insurance, brehs.

It's Obamacare-Lite. More expensive and covers less people. Complete joke. And they aren't even giving cost estimates lmao. Guessing the CBO will trash it with their score on the cost.

Really proves that republicans have no ideas and have essentially agreed with obamacare's basic idea in terms of government helping people purchase private insurance.

This won't pass the house or senate.

Thom Hartmann was talking about this on his show. The basis of the ACA was proposed by GOP in 1972.

Anyone who makes less than 100k a year should get medicaid. If the big ballers want to roll the dice on medical debt they have the assets to be liquidated by the courts.


It's a national shame that people don't have health care. It doesn't make us financially savvy or tough it makes us unhealthy and our citizens debtors.

I have this weird notion that a GOP president could sell single payer healthcare to his base if he promised "extreme vetting" of the "wrong" kinds of people.

And the Heritage Foundation cosigned the idea as an alternative to Hillarycare in the 90s. That's not to say Obamacare is a complete republican plan: republicans would never cosign the Medicaid expansion for instance. The law is a massive redistribution of wealth from the wealthy to the poor/working class. A major political problem with the law is that it doesn't help the middle class enough, outside of small business owners and those who were too sick to get coverage before the law passed.

This political theater will be interesting. Either it's a setup or they really do disagree this much.
