GOP Health Care Bill Is More Unpopular Than Obamacare Ever Was | The Huffington Post
Apparently Obamacare wins this beauty contest. Even many Repubs don't like this GOP bill and will like it even less now that the GOP and Trump have taken out most of the popular parts of Obamacare from the Trumpcare bill including pre-existing conditions. Seems the only ones who this bill is aimed at pleasing isn't the Gop's constituents, but the health care insurance companies.

Obamacare was promoted int he media as being amazing and gave away stuff. The GOP alt is promoted as terrible and taking things away.
 
You are getting ahead of your skis. There is no Trump care yet. Regardless of what you are reading in the hysterical press, there are several steps and several bills to move forward before much in the way of change is felt by consumers.

The next focus after this bill whenever it passes, is cutting cost to the consumer, after that the fun begins on how to give someone something for nothing and not go broke.

The bolded is the truth, it IS terrible and it IS taking things away. No amount of right wing spin can change that. Nor can it change the fact that the GOP bill is more unpopular than Obamacare. Proving once more, the GOP doesn't know how to govern.

Trumpcare is a piece of **** like Trump and his supporters are.

Additionally, Obamacare was opposed by those who thought it was too far left. Trumpcare has the opposition of those who think it is too far right and those who think it is too far left.
 
Well, since Trumpcare doesn't actually exist... yet, it's not fair to even compare them... yet.

In case you missed it, Republicans spent years bashing the ACA -- and yes, the mainstream media reported a great deal of it.

Plus, the ACA wasn't particularly popular until after the election, when people started to realize that they might lose some benefits if it was taken away.

And of course, that is exactly what the AHCA does. It dramatically reduces subsidies, eliminates taxes on the wealthy, takes away coverage from millions of Americans, and now it guts the essential care requirements.

Since the media didn't write the law, they are not the ones responsible for such a negative reaction to it.
 
That is because to try and sell the bill the GOP has to keep moving it to the right. Soon it willl just say to the American people, F**k you. And you are right, pun intended, the bill will probably never reach Trumps desk. If it does, there are going to be a lot more people without insurance. But there will be a lot of happy millioinares and billionares as they once again get ta cuts.
 
america is his supporter and america luvs his health care

Trumpcare is more unpopular than Obamacare. That is why Trumpcare won't pass. Better learn to deal with it. Another thing you obviously don't care about is grammar and spelling. Maybe one day you'll get a job other than mowing lawns.

Did you read the GOP bill summary? What is does and doesn't do, and who it's aimed at helping and hurting is very clear. If "great salesman" Trump can't "promote it" effectively, media be damned, LOL.

Free money is hard to say no too.

I merely commented on the media pushing the polls. Personally I think trumpcare is garbage, it's far too tepid and does little more than give cover for spineless RINO's to say they did something.
 
For those saying folks should reserve judgement on "Trumpcare", I guess my question is, if they've been talking trash about Obamacare for so many years, would not someone have put together an alternative that would at least be something you guys can review now, even if it takes a while to put through the government? Also, how much public consultation is taking place? Or are you guys stuck with finding out about it in the media (which no one believes anymore), and will get what you get when the bill passes?
 
I think Trumpcare is awesome!

They fail to pass it and they lose because voters will be angry they did not come through with a replacement for Obamacare.

They do pass it, they lose because they will be screwing over millions of working class whites who supported them.

Lose-lose means win-win.
 
Hate to tell you but if they would actually pass it they will lose more votes than if they fail to do so. If you read the article only 17% of those polled like this bill. That actually means that 83% hat the bill. If I were a reub legislator, I would be more afraid of voting for than against, but I would certainly hope the leadership would pull the bill rather than force me to vote at all. And that apparently is exactly what they have done.
 
Obamacare, apparently.

the one piece of turmp healthcare, was covering healthcare, which was hospitalization, treatment and preventions. They are also removing that from trump care. So now what is left is only Tax Cut for 1%. So now trump care has changed to Trump tax break for the Rich. so they taking the money from ACA and putting in their own pocket.

That is essentially the new conservative and Republican Party.Rub from Americans to line up your own pockets.


Something that stands out is...in one of his speeches Trump said we are going to make you so much money....in hindsight he was not talking to American People but only to his would be "Friends" and of course Russians.


Diving Mullah

Okay, I understand. But that begs a question, imo. What would your prefered bill do. Going back to the previous status quo is an acceptable response, but if you actually thought that was tenable long term, please explain. Thanks.;)
