I soooooooort of get it because they're in an impossible situation. The people they're trying to directly answer to are corporate interests who want it semi-gutted to make more money and like....no one wants that. The second bunch of people they're trying to placate want nothing less than a full repeal for absolutely non-sensical reasons (with added fantastical FYGM thinking where those people are wholly dependant on various flavors/benefits of Obamacare they signed up for without actually knowing it was Obamacare/ACA), and anytime you get close enough to that to start making GBS threads out actual numbers they start demanding all the good parts of Obamacare/ACA with none of the "bad" taxes that pay for it.

They're being asked to do something impossible by poor idiots and being asked to do something completely unpalatable by rich idiots. Everyone involved would be much better served by just giving up but lol this is the only thing they promised they would do if they were elected again.


I say gently caress em and cross my fingers that they manage to lessen the possible harm by way of their unending shittiness.

there's actually an extremely simple solution to this, it's "stop being assholes"

so an impossible situation for republicans then

Favorite part from Tom Price's bull poo poo session was when he said that "Medicaid is a program that by and large has decreased people's access to care."

Even in the fever dreams of broke brained conservatives, how does that statement make sense

You're picturing it and you're talking about it. That's a win in my book.

health care policy is my favorite. so many intersections and different interest groups

Maybe I'm going overboard in mentioning AARP, but to people who aren't aware of it, they're biggest advocacy group right now, worth over a billion dollars, with a membership of tens of millions, and is listened to extremely close on both sides of the aisle. They matter.

Lobotomy? Isn't that for loonies?

Not at all. Friend of mine had one. Designer of the trump win. You ever hear of that win? Biggest in history -- absolutely true. Fits in a suitcase. It's so small, no one knows it's there until - BLAMMO. Eyes melt, skin explodes, everybody dead. So immoral, working on the thing can drive you mad. That's what happened to this friend of mine. So he had a lobotomy. Now he's well again.
