lmaooooo michael medved skypes in for a question at the wh press briefing what a fuckin joke

@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

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.

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

Our fearless leader:

“It's a complicated process, but actually it's very simple. It's called good health care ... I think it's gonna go very quickly.”

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.

"It's called..." ARGH every moron in the Anglosphere who begins a thought with this... gambit is ALWAYS a weapons-grade fuckwit.

This is just ... weird:

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..

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.

because they aren't being fucked, it's all part of god's plan

they're being loved

lack of health insurance is like a golden shower from god

Breitbart's not happy, calling it worse than Obamacare.

the independent is to british newspapers as louise mensch is to british politicians

The Independent is married to Metallica's manager?

http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/03/07/sean-spicer-inaccurately-claims-paul-ryans-health-care-bill-fully-repeals-obamacare/

Spicer, reached by phone on Tuesday afternoon, told Breitbart News, “I don’t care” when told this bill does not constitute a full Obamacare repeal.

There once was a boy named Pierre Sean
Who only would say "I don't care."

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

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

The Great One is disturbed by the reaction so far:

Even a fucking five year old knows that's not English

"I feel sure. Please feel me."

Rand thinks I'm pretty. Right, Rand?

is he being facetious I'm confused. last I checked Rand Paul was in the bowells of the Congress looking for text of the AHCA.

And Trump, why he is antsy:

http://www.cnn.com/2017/03/07/politics/donald-trump-health-care/index.html

President Donald Trump warned House Republicans Tuesday if they can't get pass health care legislation after seven years of promises it could be a "bloodbath" in the 2018 midterm election, according to one member present in the meeting.

Trump vowed to throw his full support behind the effort to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act during a meeting with House GOP leadership, saying he is "proud" to support a GOP-authored plan to replace Obamacare and told members behind closed doors that he would support it "100%," according to sources in the room.

But he warned lawmakers of the high-stakes nature of the effort, citing a potential electoral "bloodbath," a member present said.

"He said he hopes members understand that," the source said.

The end is the funny part:

Vice President Mike Pence also joined the meeting and was feeling hopeful about the legislation's prospects in the Senate, sources said, despite the fact that two senators have already come out with deep concerns about the House legislation.

While Trump said he was committed to the bill, he did indicate he was open to making changes. Sources in the room, however, said that the changes would have to win broad support and be passed through the amendment process, making it difficult to amend the contours of the legislation in any meaningful way.

"This is a guy who knows how to close a deal, and he thinks we are at the point were we need to close," the source said.

More telling, from Robert Costa's feed:

Key question among top Rs on Hill: Who has power and actual influence on HC in WH? Mulvaney? Price? Bannon? Cohn? Priebus?....Pence is seen as the ambassador, to be sure. But he's making a soft sale to Rs and others are having side mtgs. w/ Hill folks.

Win-win for opposition. New ACA somehow passes, people get screwed and pissed. New ACA doesn't fly, Trump fails and they look like even bigger fools.

This tweet from, of all people, Ana Marie Cox kinda sums up my feelings at the moment:

@anamariecox
It’s just such a pleasure to see the GOP really *fuck* itself, you know? I mean, who know what tomorrow brings but this is fun.

xp

or new AHCA passes, people get screwed and pissed, Republicans blame Obama, democrats out of power for many more decades.

Win-win for opposition.

Yeah. But not so much fun for the millions of (mostly poor) people who are going to get screwed. It's not a game.

exactly. I have an entire family of friends who would be fucked by it because they run their own business and ACA Was the way they finally could afford health care

oh shit that was meant to reference the sean spicer quote mentioned earlier

Hahah I admit I thought of that too.

hahaha Evan

The expert's on the case!

did Pence really say "if you like your Obamacare, keep it"

Oopsie

The most conservative Republicans genuinely seem think that taking health insurance away from maybe 15 or 20 million people (who would not have it without the ACA) is a good idea, because their ideology abhors that these people were ever given government assistance in the first place and removing it is the only right thing to do. These same conservatives fought tooth and nail to shoot down many provisions proposed for inclusion in the original ACA that would have kept medical costs down, because the government acting to limit or reduce the profits of capitalists in any way is a sin.

I expect these people will make a hash of the AHCA, too.
