holy reading this it's way worse than i imagined
Don't worry guys.
Trickle will come down to you any day now and you'll have no problem paying for your healthcare.
And to quote someone else; "ISIS wishes it could kill as many children as the GOP!"

The CBO was right, though. It called the number of uninsured dropping almost to a T.
The thing is they just missed what form of insurance would be bought. but the end result was the same.

12 billion a year in savings leaves 20 million uninsured? Fucking Christ, lol.
I'm guessing that even if they have a child unable to get proper medical care and is dying because of it, they're holding that kid's hand and saying, "Don't worry, you're dying for a good cause. Think of all the colored people that have it worse. You're a real American, and you dying is worth it as long as ethnic people suffer."
Stereotypical Trump voters actually get hit the hardest by this, I believe.

Nah. You're actually being far too generous. It works out to ~$500 per person per year. It could be ~5x that if they scrapped the tax cuts for the wealthy, but that would defeat the entire purpose of the bill.
Hmm Chuck Todd lied to me then.
THIS is why we don't get comfortable.
This is the headline I'll expect to see from irresponsible media outlets.
It happened with the last AHCA revision that the House ended up passing. You release a big turd, the media pans it. You follow up with a slightly smaller turd, and the media focuses on the "improvement."
Looks like it was taken down. Is the news legit?
To be fair, they got raked over the coals immediately for that headline and followed it up with a more accurate one:

"CBO: House Obamacare repeal will increase uninsured by 23 million"
They are going to die on this hill:

Good that people didn't let me hem slide with that, but the point is that we shouldn't have to baby them like that in the first place. How desperate the media is to give the administration any type of win and hold them to the lowest possible standards is just sad. It's good that they adjusted it, but a headline like that shouldn't have happened in the first place.
Somehow they'll keep almost all of their voters. 2018 is a pretty terrible map for dems in the senate at the very least.
Maybe the house gets taken back, but the senators will mostly be fine.

HAHA what the heck
YOU DENSE MOTHERFUCKER
I was under the assumption that republicans didn't like the idea of health insurance altogether out of sheer selfishness, because they have the idea that everyone is self-made and paying for someone elses healthcare detracts from that and is the start of a socialist takeover.
How far from the truth am I?
FAKE NEWS.

Everyone here is acting like this is DOA, but I'm not so sure it won't pass or at least something close to it.

I'm not acting like anything.
I will never underestimate the callousness and evil in the heart of a republican.

Everybody go check out the CBO report from 2015 regarding a blanket removal of the ACA.
In summary, over the course of ten years, a complete ACA repeal would save about $216 billion and result in about 24 million people losing insurance. So compared to nothing at all, the AHCA insures about a million more people at the cost of about a hundred billion dollars.
That's some fiscal responsibility.

Unless I'm mistaken that's him coming out AGAINST the AHCA. He's saying waiting for this manufactured collapse of Obamacare is looking like the way to go since their replacement plans are all abject failures.

People shouldn't be mandated to pay for health care; savings made by not spending public money on health care will allow for tax cuts that spur growth; a growing economy will allow everyone to pay for health care if they choose they to.
I mean, it's insane voodoo economics that's been repeatedly discredited over the past few decades, but that won't stop them, since their ideology is already a weird rich-person fever dream anyway.

exactly this
hope that skunky beer was worth it, that photo's not gonna age well for everyone involved

And they're barely even trying to hide it at all, since the vast majority of the savings from it are immediately going into tax cuts for themselves. Literal cartoon villains.

Surely this isnt passing right?
They are actively sabotaging the ACA so I don't see how it's any better.
MacGurcules

It might. Right now it's not revenue neutral, so it can't pass with a simple majority budget resolution vote. But it wouldn't take a lot of tweaks to get it there. If the Senate manages to adjust it enough to clear, I'd expect the House to pass the revised bill without appreciable debate.

This is what passed the House. They rushed it through so they could vote before they knew the effects.
It's DOA in the Senate. They're working on another version.

And THAT version would have to go back to the House. No way the crazy FC would pass it, not with the power they know they have after getting the AHCA passed.

As much as i'd love to see the GOP get steam rolled in the mid terms, i dont want to see thousands of american die in order for that to happen.

They've been sabotaging it all along so it's not much of a change. Any further efforts to do so will have notable backlash.

They can pass this through reconciliation. They only need 50 votes in the Senate.
