Collapse won't come, but prices will keep going up because the system is still broken as gently caress, so GOPers can use that for political leverage for a while.

I don't think this will work. It will continue to get worse while they say "haha look what those fucker democrats did. you guys are real hosed now look how expensive healthcare is! its all the democrats fault" while holding absolute power over the legislative and executive branches.

On to the debt ceiling :unsmigghh:

Meanwhile, in the land of reptiles

quote:

[
The Senate voted 50-48 to strike down a rule issued late in Barack Obama’s presidency that requires large employers to keep an ongoing record of health and safety incidents. The Obama administration issued the rule in an effort to solidify what it considered long-standing policy at the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.


By doing away with the rule, Republicans are effectively cutting down the length of time that employers in dangerous industries are required to keep injury records ¯ from five years to just six months. Former OSHA officials say that doesn’t provide enough time to identify recurring problems with particular employers or industries.

edit

The OSHA record-keeping rule may sound technical and obscure, but workplace safety advocates say it has wide-reaching implications. Under OSHA rules, certain large employers in high-hazard industries have to keep an accurate record of injuries going back five years. The data helps OSHA figure out where recurring problems are and how to use its limited resources to enforce the law.

Won't ACA just implode (explode???) though now that the IRS is not enforcing the mandate? You can now submit a tax form without showing you had health insurance, and the IRS has no teeth to go after you. Or will this only result in the federal government eating poo poo (I'm all for that) and the states will be fine.

Well, figured Health Care would be hard but at least now Trump can coast through on Tax Reform + Budget + Debt Limit with it out of the way. It'll be like Trump going on vacation early.
