i guess the most hardcore of trump's base will like it too, meaning the people who still believe him even when all he says is stuff like "we're going to have great healthcare, the best, you'll love it" and nothing else

If Trump were smart he'd just keep saying that and not bother pushing for any legislation at all.
You know what else I don't get? Of all the dirty people tied to Trump, doesn't Pence seem ... the least dirty? Why would he be the first to lawyer up?

People who are very very rich and wish to pay lower taxes like it. That's it. I don't think insurance companies particularly like it.

one of the narratives among young brainwashed Pubs is "this bill gives people 'choice' without realizing that the "choice" it provides is utterly useless (you can buy insurance in other states now! whose network is only in that state! meaning all out of network costs or you're paying up front for everything and everything over REasonable and Customary charges/!!!!)
― Charles "Butt" Stanton (Neanderthal), Thursday, 15 June 2017 21:59 (six years ago) link
it's like saying "you have the choice to buy a truck with three wheels when previously you weren't allowed to"
"as a blanket thing i should say that my attitude has become a fair bit more morbsian post-election than it was beforehand.i figured that hillary would be a mediocre-decent dem president; now i'm near convinced that the hold the clinton wing has on liberalism in this country is completely malignant. (granted this is an impression gleaned from social media where conflict and stupidity are maximized)"
It's fair to say that the election has broken lots of brains and that website doesn't help. Look at the replies anytime Bernie tweets that he thinks Russiagate is a legitimate issue, it's a litany of conspiratorial "sir you have betrayed your legacy!" anger from the segment of his supporters on the "anti-anti Trumpism" side.

yeah insurance companies don't like it either. it exists solely because rich fucks don't want to pay for ACA subsidies.

McConnell's got multiple reasons for pushing this - notch a legislative "win"/fulfill longstanding GOP promise, facilitate the tax cut that they *really* want, and kill the poor.

Not so much. 2016 was considered a good year for the individual market cause the best companies only had losses in the millions instead of hundreds of millions.
