CBO report: 14 million fewer insured by 2018 under GOP health care bill
...
In total, an estimated 52 million people would be uninsured by 2026 under the GOP plan, compared to 28 million who would lack insurance under the current law.
Well we knew there was a reason that the GOP was absolutely terrified of the CBO score. 14M more uninsured by 2018 and 24M by 2026 seems like a good reason to be worried. But hey....you've got "access" to that healthcare and "choices".
Holy crap. The GOP are in over their heads now. As Kramer says this may be the best thing long term as single payer becomes more likely now.
ETA: 14 million of these folks likely to lose coverage next year.
Standby for the midterms folks.
Choosing to die would be the cheapest. I'm sure there will be a lot of takers cause that's all we care about right.Well we knew there was a reason that the GOP was absolutely terrified of the CBO score. 14M more uninsured by 2018 and 24M by 2026 seems like a good reason to be worried.

Ryan just came out and said that these 14 million people uninsured next year are "stuck on Obamacare" and would "prefer to have a choice other than government mandated care." So I guess their preference is...nothing??? Post-truth isn't just for the Executive Branch...
President Donald Trump suggested again Monday that Republicans could hurt themselves politically by trying to repeal the Affordable Care Act, saying the GOP may be better served letting it fail on its own.
Wow, talk about not being on the same page as the party you are supposedly affiliated with. He just kicked the legs out from under his party.
You can't be this stupid.

AHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAH, a 64 year old making 26k and paying $1700 a year under Obamacre will have have to pay $14,600 a year under TRUMPcare, AHAHAHAHA
Elections have consequences.
My understanding is I will get a tax cut, based on repeal of the investment income surtax over $250K, and ability to shield more income through higher HSA contribution.
I feel bad for the millions of my fellow citizens who will lose health care. I vote for Democrats and am OK paying more so more folks have health coverage, but I will respect the will of the American people through their elected Republican representatives if they insist on me keeping the money instead. We can offer our help, but we can't force people to accept it if they don't want it.
I think the 0.9% Medicare surtax above 200K individual/250K household also goes away.
These particular changes also financially beneficial to me and my family but totally fucking boneheaded for the country at large. Millions of additional uninsured people is a bad thing and something I also have voted to avoid. Give the people what they want I guess.

Plus 3.8% cap gain tax cut over $250K. That's the big one that GOP is after, since that's what their handlers care about.That's the whole point of the exercise, to indulge the greed of our wealthiest citizens.
I am just tired of arguing with people who want to screw themselves to give me more money. Fine, you win.
One House GOP aide put it this way: "They're saying people are losing coverage but in reality, these people are making a choice," the aide said. "We're not ripping coverage away."
That's not right, either.
