insurance across state lines is moronic. 'oh I got this real cheap insurance from alabama I just need to fly 2,500 miles to see a doctor in network'

insurance across state lines is moronic

It's also directly at odds with the Federalist philosophizing behind the House GOP plan. Per WaPoo:

House Republicans on Monday released long-anticipated legislation to supplant the Affordable Care Act with a more conservative vision for the nation’s health care system, replacing federal insurance subsidies with a new form of individual tax credits and grants to help states shape their own policies.

Which means more of those "invisible imaginary lines" that Trump says inhibit better/cheaper health care.

The "across state lines" thing has been a sign they've been waving around as cure-all since 2006, right? I just remember the continually pointing to it as the thing tying their hands and preventing the market from showering down goodness upon all

30 pages of the GOP plan is just photocopies from a Doc McStuffins activity book

duped and used by my worst Miss U (President Keyes), Tuesday, 7 March 2017 18:52 (seven years ago) link

I've got to admit, for the first time since the election I think I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed. Russia stuff, ACA stuff, travel stuff, all at once. It feels like it's been the same day over and over again for a year.

The hashtag of the day for the opposition is #WealthCare, which I like

"Who knew healthcare was so complicated, but we can solve it all with a bill that's smaller than the ACA!"

He wants to save all Americans from the high cost of health care, and he heard something about apples keeping the doctor away?

This jumped out at me:

In general, the impact of the Republican bill would be particularly severe for older individuals, ages 55 to 64. Their costs would increase by $5,269 if the bill went into effect today and by $6,971 in 2020. Individuals with income below 250 percent of the federal poverty line would see their costs increase by $2,945 today and by $4,061 in 2020.

This is the GOP base why are they fucking them over? Freedom? You'd think they'd at least try to soak young people who never vote for them, but according to the article above they're the only ones 'saving' anything..

@tinyrevolution
Actually, Chaffetz is right: under the GOP health plan, for the cost of an iPhone you'll be able to buy insurance with a $75,000 deductible

I'm disgusted by this attempt to scare our senior citizens by playing politics with their health. For shame!

It's a complicated process, but actually it's very simple.
It's called good health care, but actually it's terrible.
I think it's gonna go very quickly, but actually it's gonna drag out in the courts.

The GOP doesn't give a fuck about its base, who will continue voting for them as long as the party stays right with god on abortion, gay rights and non-whites.

White evangelicals are basically the only demographic Republicans win outright and they're perfectly content to continue getting fucked as long as it suits their ministers' beliefs.

it has been deeply satisfying to see Paul Ryan, after making his way to the legislative pinnacle, fall flat on his smug face with this first healthcare swing. i am sure he will find a way to get what he wants eventually, but this is an embarrassing display

art, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 00:24 (seven years ago) link

losing a vote or withdrawing the bill would be "falling flat on his smug face", I don't think he's quite there yet.
