There's also the construction aspect with all those new emergency rooms and urgent care centers sprouting up. In addition, there is the economic multiplication factor to consider.

The ACA's contributions to increasing/maintaining haves wealth is neither tangential or small.

This is about tax cuts for the wealthy, it has nothing to do with improving access to basic health care or reducing costs of services.
It should be called the "go fuck yourself and die in the gutter" bill.

The one bit of news that offers McConnell a glimmer of hope is that the CBO said the bill would save $321 billion over 10 years. McConnell could use some of that money to shore up support of senators concerned about Medicaid cuts,

Yeah, right. More like it all goes into even more tax cuts to the 1% who will then launder much of it into re-election campaigns.

McConnell just punted on having a vote before the July 4 break. GOP town halls are going to be a shit storm.

And rightfully so.

I think they all will be afraid to hold town halls. Don't do what the leaders want and you get primaried. Don't do what voters want and get shamed to put it mildly. This is what gerrymandering and unregulated campaign laws have given us.

So much for 'winning'.

The Party of 'No' is proving up to be a venal party of laughingstocks led down the primrose path by an orange haired shitgibbon for all to see.

At least the Democrats and Pres. Obama spent their political capital back in '09 trying to improve the lot of regular citizenry with the ACA.

All the Repukes can do is try to screw Joe Taxpayer into the ground while giving a huge tax break to the 1% who hardly need it.

Three more moderates defect, saying the cuts are too deep. Tea Party morons are still saying it doesn't cut deep enough. Are we winning yet? Lol.
