Wow, I was worried but this new bill in the Senate is genius. Among its many benefits it offers...

-Higher deductibles
-Higher co pays
-Less coverage
-Higher premiums
-Less subsidies
-Big Medicaid cuts
-Less protection for pre existing conditions
-No control over drug prices

Oh boy, I was worried we would have to suffer under Obamacare, but now that we are all going to be saved by a bill that will make us all pay more for less coverage, I can breath a sigh of relief. My only complaint is that the tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans do not go far enough.

Thank you Trump supporters! I was so wrong about all of you. I thought you would just bend over and take whatever turd of a bill the Senate churned out with tacit disregard, but you proved me wrong. You insisted that Trump uphold his promises for a healthcare law that covers everyone and offers better coverage for less. And now look at where we are. Yup, the silly liberals will surely be outraged at the awesomeness of all this winning.
 
trump promised endlessly not to cut Medicaid; where are the nationwide ads DNC;

NOW; ASAP; go after the GOP and hit them early and often as we saw the GOP do in early 2014 with the ACA rollout;

politics is not a game with the GOP and they don't play ;

but that savings to the government is needed to cover the massive tax break for the 1%

This ^^^^^^^

The DNC needs solid leadership and NOW to capitalize on the lies of Trump and the GOP regarding healthcare.

DEMs refused to play the GOP reconciliation game in 2009 and took 14 months to pass ACA.

DEMs were too late to protect themselves from GOP death panel type lies in 2009/2010 and equally late to fight back against 2014 ACA rollout ads:

DEMs spend too much too late when minds are made up;

GOPs run ads that tie DEM candidates like Ossoff to the Scalise shooting and DEMs are silent ;
 
"Fixing it" would be getting rid of ACA altogether.

Yup! You are absolutely right. If there is anything better than Obamacare and Trumpcare, it is the utopia of health care that existed before 2009. Who can forget those days when health care costs were spiraling ever higher and the drug companies exerted even more control over their monopolies? We were truly blessed in those days when hospitals were stabilizing people and literally kicking them to the street and insurance companies required people to call and get authorization before taking an ambulance to the hospital.

Trump doesn't write legislation. You Dems keep forgetting that.

Exactly...we did without it for years just fine...why bring it on now and screw everything up?

This new bill is the voice of America. The majority of people in our country voted Republicans. They voted in more Republicans in Senate and Congress and the Republicans are speaking on behalf of AMERICA.

If you don't like this bill, you only have yourself to blame!

And that has changed how? If you can't afford it, what good is it?

As with all federal entitlements, once that "free" toothpaste leaves the tube many folks are soon dependent upon the squeeze, not only continuing but, growing in every future year, There was never any intent to simply repeal PPACA (aka deny "free" insurance "access" to millions) and to remove the bad parts (added taxation of any kind to pay for it). The new mission is to keep the good parts (aka the federal spending on the latest major income redistribution entitlement) and to borrow (from future generations?) to pay for it. Like any such "immediate" need, it (now called TrumpCare?) will be phased in and the resulting deficit spending will automagically be eliminated from the massive economic growth that any and all new federal spending will surely "soon" create. ;)

He has veto power. If he doesn't veto the bill he's a liar.

Yeah we need to go back to the good ole days where people couldn't get specialized treatment and instead were just stabilized and then kicked out until they die at least. But let's make sure we give a blank check to defense spending for all the wars we need to start.

trump is wedded at the hip to the nation's most obstructionist senate majority leader in history;

trump/mcconnell/ryan wealthcare breaks every promise trump made to his supporters ;

Thank you! You speak the truth! Just like Trump did when he said he wanted coverage for "everyone" that was better with "lower deductibles" and "lower drug prices" and "no cuts to Medicaid". That is why a good number of people voted for him and his colleagues. Those are the promises they made to the American people as they slammed Obamacare time and time again.

And look at how wonderfully they are upholding their promises and the vision they sold to America. Who could I possibly blame for such an incredible piece of legislation? This is truly something you should be proud of as millions of Americans deal with the outcomes. You should brag to everyone how you helped save our healthcare system by supporting the people who made this all possible. You are a hero.

You guys are like the boy who cried wolf. You have spent so much time lying about him and demonizing his every move that no one pays attention to you any more. If the wolf eats you, its your own damn fault.

So what part of what he is said is untrue? List specifically.

The economy will improve under this bill. If a few people die, it will be for the betterament of this country.

I know! That is why I think the GOP solution of making it even less affordable and offering even less coverage is brilliant! What better way to approach issues than to promise to make them better, then make them worse, and then say "well it wasn't good before so who cares?" I think tacit disregard for the millions of Americans who the system was working for is absolutely a responsible and adult way of dealing with the problems of the millions of people who it wasn't working for.

While we are at it, child welfare sucks in my state and a lot of foster children get mistreated. We should start letting pedophiles be foster parents because...well it already sucks so what is the point?

Yup. Nothing anyone says bad about Trump is true. This bill is a perfect example of how awesome Trump is. This bill is as perfect and glorious as Trump is and Trump supporters don't even need to know what is in it or what it does because Trump would never lie or lead them wrongly.
 
Well at least it's not mandatory...right?

Feeling a little extreme today? Nothing is ever perfect but we are in a huge hole and have to get started somewhere.
 
So a libertarian supports government subsidies, forced commerce, price fixing, and the government mandating what a service will provide?

ok?
