a 64 year old person on a fixed income earning $26,500 a year would have an expected yearly insurance cost of $13,600. over half of your money goes to health insurance. after that you are living on poverty wages, and you're 64. there's no future for you.

Trabisnikof posted:Realize they had to have the house pass a bill that will raise premiums, cut off insurance for 50+ million and give massive tax breaks to the wealthy, just to have the senate replace the entire bill anew. All those town halls and any blowback they get over this (and there will be tons because healthcare matters to individuals) will be for a loving nothing bill. The GOP doesn't have reluctant and moderate voters. They literally do not care about anyone else but themselves. The trick is convincing them that this hurts them and not minorities and that would involve them listening to non-Drudgeland arguments.

So we're saving 119 billion dollars over 10 years to kick 23 million people off of health insurance. Just to spell that out, that's 517 dollars per person, per year for health insurance coverage, if they don't pass this bill. 517 dollars per person to insure 23 million people? How is that not regarded as a loving STEAL? Chilichimp fucked around with this message at 21:59 on May 24, 2017 |

I was at a military funeral today, and the widow was keeping it together pretty well until the poor soldier presented the flag, saying "on behalf of the President of the United States..." and she started weeping and yelled "NO! Not the President!!" Pretty much ruined her day, which is saying something, considering.

theflyingorc posted:...the fox news demographic would have their insurance go up by $10k a year. that's a problem The fox news demographic accepting that is the GOP's fault is going to involve making them listen to the fact that it's the GOP and not Democrats Ruining Our Bill. If they force the 'first part' through they can just blame the Democrats for things getting worse. (This is obviously nonsense bullshit but so is everything the GOP says and it keeps working.)

At this point the GOP is counting on their base never abandoning them, no matter what - that they'll hem and haw and let their approval ratings dip but then pull the lever for a Republican anyway, because anything else is unthinkable. It's not an unsafe bet.
