Do NOT call this TrumpCare. That is what the GOP wants you to do, to blame their shitty policies on Trump. Call this Republicare of whatever, but stick it to the assholes who will vote this in, not Trump.

I'll have to work on a name but I agree with the sentiment.

TrumpCare has such internal dissonance. DryWater. FireFreeze.

I agree, but if Trump signs whatever bullshit they come up with, he shares blame.

I'm just very, very afraid that even if Trump becomes massively unpopular with the Republican base, Republicans will just distance themselves from the fallout and blame it all on Trump.Those fuckers don't deserve a second chance, but I'm almost certain they're going to remain in power in 2 and 4 years from now.

Shocked, I say, shocked!

Guess we'll see what happens when millions of people's loss aversion kicks in.

Judging from what were seeing in Republican town halls across the country, I'd say it's already kicking in.

The war will make patriots of them all

So...its really the republicans in acting the death camps?

Death Panels are a wasteful Obama extravagance that are unsupportable in the current financial climate. From now on, all sick and old people will be pushed into a river.

With the new epa we won't even need an environmental impact study. Coincidence?

Before climate change we could use icebergs to just float our old and sick out to sea on.

They have alternative truths.

It's not a bug, it's a feature.

So if the numbers (of insured people) drop I would say that’s a good thing because we restored personal liberty in this country.

Considering that he formerly endorsed single-payer and since being elected promised universal coverage, it's safe to assume that Trump has no actual concept, plan, or ideology over health care policy. As for the Republicans (as personified by the likes of Paul Ryan), it would be nice if they just cut the bullshit about 'repeal and replace' and just say out loud that people have no right to health care and government has no role in regulating or providing it.

The entire picture should come into much better focus after Tuesday.


Mnuchin Vows No Cuts To U.S. Entitlement Programs — For Now
“We are very focused on other aspects.”


Is the T-Party officially dead and do deficits mater anymore. Is Budget neutrality still a thing?

Funny how actual budget neutrality never seems to matter when the Republicans are in power. Dismantling Obamacare will open up a trillion dollar hole over the next ten years, but so what? Under GWB they passed a massive, unfunded entitlement program (Medicare part D).
Meanwhile, their so-called president has proposed a massive new arms build-up, a giant border wall, a huge increase in DHS bureaucracy and border enforcement, and big tax cuts for businesses and the wealthy. And curiously, I'm not hearing a peep from the famous 'freedom caucus' deficit hawks, who were willing to default on the debt and shut down the government over deficit spending under Obama. So apparently no, as long as a Dem isn't in power, budget neutrality is not still a thing. Hypocrisy? Yup!

Dynamic scoring, dynamic scoring, dynamic scoring. And what ten years? This is big. I mean big. Bigger than anything you've ever seen. This is going to cause the GDP to grow so big. Bigger than anything you've ever seen.

Interesting approach, by age group. I would assume this comes directly from the insurance industry. This sounds like the beginnings of a paradigm for pricing by age. Is this where we want to go?

It's where they want to go. Healthcare insurance is a ghoul industry, if they could boot you off coverage at the first sign of trouble they would. Which is why private health insurance should be illegal.
