Governors of both parties slam the House Bill, urge Senate to work on bipartisan version.

The reason these health care bills fail is because they only protect the 1%, the very people who are causing the health care crisis. These bills do nothing to address the padded profits of pharmaceuticals and investors. People getting crazy rich of the poor health of other people, predators.... and the health care billions in dividends the 1% is demanding on their investments.

So much of the cost of our health care has absolutely nothing to do with the cost of services, treatment or drugs.

A long list of Trump's campaign promises on healthcare that this abysmal Senate bill breaks. Yet his idiot supporters still cheer him on. The poor, dumb asses.

The masters are good at turning anger into more tax cuts for them. The non-masters are happy with having a man in the White House "sticking it to the system." Anti-establishmentism is great for the 1 percent.

"COLORADO SPRINGS — The Koch network is working with conservative allies behind the scenes to make changes to the Senate health-care bill that was unveiled this week, declining to endorse the measure as it stands.
As hundreds of donors gathered Saturday for a three-day seminar organized by billionaire industrialist Charles Koch, leaders from the constellation of groups that support his agenda outlined concerns about the draft bill.
“In all candor, we’ve been disappointed that movement is not more dramatic toward a full repeal or rollback (of the Affordable Care Act). But we’re not walking away,” said Tim Phillips, the president of Americans for Prosperity. “We still think this can get done, but the Senate bill needs to get better.”" WP

Lovely people, eh? I'm sure that when they say "better" it means worse for the average American and better for Chuck and Dave's bottom line.
