GOP's AHCA aka Trump-RyanCare

And this came from a conservative. Moreover, Breitbart (Trump's Pravda) is wondering aloud whether Price's statement may be "The Lie of the Year."

Cool opinion piece, Finn. She's never been a fan of Trump, which is no doubt why you like her so much.

So, you believe Price?

"WASHINGTON — The House Republican plan to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act would cause 24 million people to lose health insurance within a decade, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said on Monday.
Republicans had been bracing for what was almost certain to be a bleak accounting of the legislation’s projected effects. The American Health Care Act, as Republicans call their bill, was already facing widespread criticism from providers of health care, some conservatives, and a united Democratic Party. The numbers released Monday will only make it more difficult for Republicans to explain why their legislation would bring positive change to the country’s health care system." NY Times

No wonder the Repugnants and Trump have been preemptively attacking the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office.

Funny, we kept our doctor, we asked for help from no one, our policies increased by 6%, well mine did as Florence no longer needs insurance, she has infinitely better protection.

Where all this bull shit going around is coming from I do not know, but it gets a trifle wearing after a time.

14 Million to lose their insurance next year under the Republican's 'Repeal and Revenge' healthcare plan. The sad part is that the people most hurt will be rural and elderly. The midterms are going to be a bloodbath for the GOP.

Nah, they'll let it die in the Senate, run Omabacare into the ground, then blame the Democrats. Their lunatic voters are obviously willing to accept whatever Trump and his surrogates say at face value (I sit next to one at work). Unbelievably uninformed voters. They would have been "good Germans".

Ryan already lyin' about it. Incredible.

Indeed. My brother in law who voted for trump because "he will make America great again" didn't realize trump was married or had kids and was shocked when I educated him.

Edited...where's my manners....

Welcome to the forum Chicks.

Have we gone way downhill, or were there always masses of people this ignorant?

[MrPots]

Yes, of course, however the political system wasn't always so willing to exploit the ignorance as they are now, and the educated minority? They have never been so complicit as to allow it to happen.

Where are the educated elite that are supposed to be calling out the corruption? Oh yea...they're counting their investment gains..... perhaps screwing over the poor is a little too profitable for them.
