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

On Mike Lee's part, I think it's a little bit of both.

He tried to stop Trump's nomination on the convention floor. Now he's going to try and outflank him by holding him to his campaign promises.

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.

But I have nuanced philosophical reasons for why the poor should just die.

"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.

The disdain the Republicans have for anyone who isn't a rich white man is crazy.

Wonder how the economy will fare if poor people stop buying stuff so they can save up for health care that still won't cover the expenses when they need it?

Major conservative activist groups are trashing House Republicans’ health care plan

Several high-profile conservative activist groups have already come out against the House GOP’s health care plan, arguing that it doesn’t go far enough to repeal Obamacare.

The groups — Heritage Action, FreedomWorks, the Club for Growth, Americans for Prosperity, and Freedom Partners — were influential players in several major legislative fights of the Obama era. Using their sway with House conservatives, they generally fight for lower spending, bigger tax cuts, and less government involvement with the private sector.

And all of them are now opposing the House GOP’s plan — a plan already viewed by many as too conservative to pass the Senate — for not being conservative enough.

FreedomWorks called it “Obamacare-lite,” Heritage Action said the bill accepts “the flawed premises of Obamacare,” the Club for Growth called it a “warmed-over substitute for government-run health care,” and the Koch brothers-affiliated Americans for Prosperity and Freedom Partners complained the bill “repeats the mistakes of Obamacare.”

Republicans don’t seem to have any concept of the quagmire they are about to enter with this bill.
Doing nothing and letting the ACA fail on its own would have been better... irresponsible, but better.

Not for their political ambitions. Most of them ran on a repeal and replace promise. Their problem is Trump has been holding them over the flames to do a repeal and replace that "covers everyone."

This man will end up getting re-elected by a 30+ point margin

Isn't he from California? He might be up in 2018

Older people should pay higher insurance for health-care.

But that's why things like healthcare shouldn't be commodified.

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

Honestly it's even worse than that. If they strip the essential benefits categories, then catastrophic plans go back to being plans that only cover bankruptcy from ED visits.

Utah.

This proposal is trash.

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.

tax deductible premiums is a single payer characteristic as all "premiums" would be paid via income taxes

If you control both houses of Congress and the presidency, you don't have the luxury of "letting the ACA fail on its own."

You have to actually fix it.
