You'd see more insurers in the markets.

But Congress made them be revenue neutral in 2015.

No carrier is going to insure the sick without the payments they were expecting.

the original Affordable Care Act.

Note, please, that I am calling it by its real name.

Right now, access to health care in the US is via insurance. That's our system. It's stupid but it's what we have.

The ACA was a step in the right direction.

The Republican plan is worse than the ACA. We're going in the wrong direction.

or to me more specific, Don'Tcare

Last year, I had a routine colonoscopy, something I've put off for years, but my doctor scolded me to do since my mother died of colon cancer.

The colonoscopy cost over $3600. I had to pay $400 of it. That was just the exam. Thank God my test was okay.

Everyone just takes all that money they have sitting around and puts it into a tax free health savings account and you just pay when you need healthcare, it is so simple.


I'm glad your screening was okay, had my first one a few years ago.

Peace

Knocked me completely out. When I woke up, I realized why Michael Jackson was addicted to it.

Playbook. How can we steal more from the 99%? There's still ss and Medicare. No wonder the is stock market is crazy. They have trying a long time to get their grubby, greedy hands on this money.

more money for the rich, and then it will trickle down onto the poor... just like it did in the 1920s, 1980s and 2000s.

The rich Southerners used trickle down on the poor Southerners to get them to fight and die for the preservation of slave labor.

and, 150 years later, a lot of those poor southern states are still poor - Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi. States like North Carolina, Georgia and Virginia have gotten wealthier, but NC has some outstanding universities, Virginia has proximity to Washington DC and Georgia has the metropolis of Atlanta, so it's not trickle down that caused the increase in wealth.

Even in red states, the immediate surrounding area of a high quality university tend to be Blue like Austin, TX.

Madison, Wisconsin... South Bend, Indiana... Lawrence, Kansas

to not having insurance and not having a hope in hell of paying the doctor!

Is "the different way of looking at it" counting dead bodies?

Unless of course they try to do what they did with the original ACA repeal bill and prevent the CBO from releasing ANY report.

your office is to compare apples to oranges, and what you have done is to make talking points on hurting people your a f**ing hypocrite.

Compare the ACA to your Ayn Rand follower Paul Ryan , you know the "guy" that likes to stay up night and figure out how to "hurt" people at other peoples expense to make them and you and the CEO's of worthless heath care providers rich

Compare the actuarial costs of Medicare to any health insurance and MEDICARE wins every time ass**** every time, that's what you should be doing, doctors cannot deny access if you have MEDICARE, that is FACT


And then you said this:


“We’re looking at it in a different way, Mark, because insurance is not really the end goal here, is it?” Mulvaney responded. “It's one of the conservatives' – one of the Republicans' complaints about the Affordable Care Act from the very beginning: It was a great way to get insurance and a lousy way to actually be able to go to the doctor."


What is the end goal, ass**** do you really know except to take away human beings health care, your nothing more than yes man, nothing more

More people will be able to afford to go to the doctor with this plan than under the ACA? Bullshit. Millions of "ordinary people" can't afford to go to the doctor without affordable health insurance.

Of course, because the republinazi goal is to kill people.

or evidence-based research in healthcare delivery. This was purely ideological and not at all driven by consideration of the needs of patients, providers, hospitals, or health care delivery systems. So sick of the lies from every quarter of the Trump Misadministration.

Can I get a high five? Sorry Americans have answered the clue phone.

Single Payer, anyone?

Medicare for ALL!

The man in the silk suit hurries by, as he catches the poor old lady's eye, just for fun he says "Get a job" - Bruce Hornsby

that explicitly makes health care more expensive. Lying scumbag.

of the gop is the same as usual. Tax breaks for the wealthy, so donations to the politicians increase. We should fight for universal health care, just as other countries have. If this plan is so "good" why don't THEY sign on it themselves, and give up their taxpayer funded cadillac insurance???

they don't even realize that this is something you're not supposed to say out loud.

But they also know their supporters don't understand or don't give a damn, as long as poor people do not get health insurance and the rich get a tax break, all is well.

Sherlock!

Just bullshit. Republicans are monsters.

how about lifespan or changes in the funeral service sector?

Respond to the question of whether less people will have insurance under the GOP plan something like" tough shit"? It was on Jake Tapper's show I think, Thursday or Friday

If 3 can see through this sh*t..and be honest, that this Trumpcare Sh*t will hurt millions of people, and take their insurance away, and ..kill many and prevent needed preventive care then this is all for nothing...

Keep in mind, killing our citizens is not the goal of the Constitution. Or the founding fathers..but that is what this will do....

It isn't just a set of rules for insurance companies. It included funding for expanding Medicaid and for shoring up Medicare. Soon they will declare Medicare is an unsustainable disaster and must be converted to coupons for the elderly poor.

The bill is much an attack on Medicare and Medicaid as on Obamacare, because Obamacare contained new taxes that strengthened both of the older programs.

Protecting insurance companies WAS the objective of the Heritage Foundation back in 1989 when they came up with concept of the individual mandate - a mandate that you HAD to BUY insurance.

Insurance companies loved it! And conservatives, big recipients of insurance company donations - fell in line and also loved it! Until a smooth-taking black man with a Muslim name was handed the keys to the Very-Very-White-House-Where-Ronald-Reagan-Used-To-Live. And then it became worse than six Hitlers! Worse than book readin'!!

What he's saying is that of course people will be kicked off of insurance. HOW, then, can they get CARE? He didn't answer that.

Does anyone in the W.H. tell the truth? ANYONE?
