CBO report finds Republican healthcare bill will lead to 22 million Americans losing insurance

I love how the CBO is a farce because you disagree. If it said anything positive, you'd be trumpeting how great the non-partisan body was.

If you're the Trump voter, to throw your hands up in the air and blame the free-loading liberals

It is a good thing that fewer people will have insurance, because it will lead to lower prices in the future.

Chuck Schumer said

"We’re talking about average American working people, they’re talking about multibillionaires -- that’s why they’re in such trouble. That is why they’re in such trouble. Because their bill is aimed at helping the very wealthy, whereas we are trying to hurt — to help American families."

Workers worldwide were uniting prior to capitalists war also know as Great War. [Only the easily led believed it was about a silly assassination.] FDR, 1930's made an attempt to prevent the USA from fully moving to a socialist country. FDR made socialistic improvements to the USA economy. Eg., social security. In response to the people's revolution in Caribbean, Central America and South America in 1950's and 1960's Ernest Guevara was talking about the merits of free heath care for everyone. In response, LBJ gave us medicare and medicaid. Single payer healthcare for all in USA.

Pray tell, my simple-minded friend, what do the "honda accord" and "Porsche" correspond to in this brilliant allegory?

Ah yes. The Congressional Budget Office's estimate for one specific part of Obamacare, enrollment in exchanges, was inaccurate, since it was made before Republican congressmen and governors threw wrenches in some of the law's plans. The office did not anticipate in 2010 that funding for the "risk corridor" program would be blocked by Congress, and that red states would place restrictions on outreach/enrollment assistance efforts. CBO's enrollment estimates were remarkably accurate for other parts of the law, including Medicaid and employer changes.

For your pleasure:

The Congressional Budget Office is an incredibly respected body with a historical reputation for non-partisanship and accuracy. Probably why very few prominent lawmakers are disputing this report, and also why nine Republican senators have already expressed opposition to the bill.

You keep asking and I keep giving you the answer. So, pay attention and read the link this time: WE the TAXPAYERS pay for the sweet healthcare benefits that Congress has! So, what's good enough for Congress and their families should be good enough for the rest of us!

^This. Coulter has the best words!!!

The solution is simple. Two words: FREE MARKET. Here's the plan....

1) US Healthcare is a mess.

2) Solution: free market!

3) ?????

4) Profit

Why does everybody think healthcare is so complicated? EVERYTHING in life is black and white, very simple, and can be fully explained in 140 characters or less.

You should change the title from "will" to "would" until it is enacted.

Free care, eh? Sounds like we already had single payer then - so why did we get rid of it? BOOM.

BOOM? That take isn't even warm.

Do you not understand the concepts of screening or preventative care? How about cost-effectiveness analysis?

No.... Didn't think so.

I am always amazed at people who express these views. If it were you or your wife or parent and you couldn't afford the $20,000 would you be singing the same song? I highly doubt it.

The problem with health insurance is that it is an industry that exists to make money. With cars, houses etc it works for one reason only. A majority of the people paying in never take a payout. I paid into my auto insurance for over 30 years before I ever needed and received a payout, This will never be the case with health insurance, because of this it will never be a money making venture. Unfortunately the only solution is government health insurance for all. I know the conservative readers are screaming already. the role of government should be for the greater good of all of it's citizens, not just the wealthiest.

This isn't the case at all. This is complete BS. Since Obamacare I have not had to buy a more expensive plan. My employer has continued to offer a variety of plans and I have easily selected a low cost plan that covers only the things I care about. If your insurance stinks, then blame your employer or yourself for not exploring more options.

So what about if you don't have employee assisted health insurance? When I was in college I worked barely any hours part time. I was uninsured and had to buy my own policy just to cover catastrophic costs. That plan years ago cost way more than what it would have cost me to get a better plan had I had Obamacare.

Among poorer people Obamacare has made affordable insurance available/mandated to those who had none. Among richer people Obamacare has created more options and it's your employer's fault if their traditional insurance companies lost business due to competition and just passed on higher premiums to you. Your employer should have considered more companies and more plans for you among the thousands available.

Haha, Trump was trolling you all along!

Now he switches to the real gig: well, if you don't have anything better that can get votes, might as well just REPEAL.
