No more mandate penalty guys!

*forces you to pay 130% the cost of health insurance if you ever go without it thus disincentivising people from ever signing up for healthcare if they ever have a lapse*

"The mandate sucks! I hate the mandate! What a payoff to the insurance companies!"

*makes you pay way more than the mandate penalty, this time directly to the insurance companies, and incentives them keeping premiums high by also resulting in a higher penalty*

It's a little bit juvenile, but it's simple and it's timeless.

We let it be known that Schnorkles, for a snack, eats tiny pieces of shit.

You're picturing it and you're talking about it. That's a win in my book.
that said, the entirety of (parts of) this bill is designed to phase in 3-4 years and is literally "maybe we should change it if we get killed in 2018 or 2020" the bill.

Reconciliation isn't supposed to affect revenue and spending. Tax bills have been passed through it before, bypassing the need for a filibuster proof majority in the Senate. The hard limit is the Byrd rule, that forbids any bill being passed by it from affecting the deficit longer than 10 years (hence the ubiquity of legislation that sunsets after 10 years): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reconciliation_(United_States_Congress)

The reality is that if this bill passes, very few people that took advantage of the ACA will be able to afford insurance. We will quickly go back to having as many, if not more, uninsured in this country than we did before ACA. Tax credits is complete non-starter for low income families; its really a thumb in the eye, like dangling a carrot in front of a horse and then still smacking with a board when it tries to eat the carrot.

Are you asking for a sane timeline or the one we're currently in?

In a normal election the best she could hope for is to get to the final vote and then everyone else outside of her base goes "Nope nope nope nope" and votes for whoever the other person is. This time?

For reconciliation to happen, a budget resolution needs to be passed by April 15th. If that doesn't happen, they need to wait until the next session next year, or have 60 people in the Congress pass it.

They've got less than a month to jam this through.

She will get to the second round but the general consensus is that she will lose because France has a very big cultural thing of the centre uniting against extremes. In 2002 when Le Pen's dad got to the second round, Sarkozy got 80% of the vote.

On the other hand, 2016 has made me pretty skittish about accepting basic political facts still work because, y'know, nothing matters.

The 2002 campaign is pretty interesting since the left really hated Sarkozy, so their signs all said: 'vote for the crook, not the fascist' which has to be some of the least enthusiastic campaigning of all time.

So let's say the average premium is 300$, right? Okay, now I lose my job and can't afford new health insurance until 64 days later when I get my new job. I now have to pay 300$ a month PLUS a 90$ penalty every month for one year. The penalty is equal to 90x12 = 1080 dollars. A 1080 dollar penalty for being uninsured. The penalty under ACA was 695$. On average, this is a penalty increase of almost 200% and it goes directly to insurance companies.
