On Wednesday, House Speaker Paul Ryan held a press conference to defend Republicans health care plan, which was widely panned across the political spectrum after its rollout Monday night. Despite criticism that the plan would deprive millions of Americans of coverage, destabilize insurance markets and unfairly burden states, Ryan praised the legislation as monumental, exciting conservative reform.
This is what weve been dreaming about doing, the House Speaker told reporters. Its a conservative wish list, the speaker said. Ryan then ticked off parts of the legislation that should thrill conservatives, before concluding that it gets Washington out of the business of being a nanny state.
Unsurprisingly, Ryans pledge to stop nannying the American people stopped short of womens health care choices.
It ends funding to Planned Parenthood and sends money to community centers, Ryan boasted. What the bill actually does is stop federal Medicaid reimbursements to Planned Parenthoodthat means stripping the organization of millions in federal funds. As Vox pointed out, that would hit poor women the hardest but impact anyone that relies on Planned Parenthoods services if clinics are forced to close as a result.

And so far it looks like we will just sit here and let him do it.
Not because liberals arent protesting, but because supporters of his wont stop him.

(23,123 posts)They just don't believe their beloved party would fuck them over, probably even when they see it in print. When they go to renew their plans which have expired and costs have gone up x5 (was $100, now $500/mo) and the insurance has a $5,000 deductible, no max out of pocket and only pays 40% of the cost and the patient is responsible for the balance, think they will finally get a clue. It absolutely won't happen until the bill comes to them, otherwise they are so stupid they believe Drumpf and Eddie Munster, not facts. Wonder if they will realize that a person making $75,000 gets the same subsidy as a person making $13,000 and think that's unfair? I sure do. This plan will hurt us and we will have to make some hard choices, if we even have a choice at all, other than Bankruptcy.
