All the healthcare parts of this bill are just a cobbled together mess of contradictory, transparently evil, or nonsensical policy surrounding a solid core of transferring a trillion dollars from the poor to the 1%

I'm guessing dental hygienist and nameless middle manager, both miserable about the stagnation of their suburban lives. You don't get to the point where you're breastfeeding your kid while getting shitfaced in a bar, offering to gently caress for booze, without running up hard against a lot of evidence that the routine mediocrity and endless cycle of house debt is as good as your life will ever get.

They should learn some coding and move to a big city like San Fran

10 trillion over 13 years, and that's not counting the estimated 100+ trillion in tax cuts to the rich over that amount of time with the tax cut draft

both pass and the united states will be about spending 12x as much as it gets revenue pretty much guaranteeing a default :yum:

If Dems ever got Manchin voted out in the primary and somehow kept the Senate seat, lots of think pieces about the destruction of bipartisanship and how polarized america is now would be written post-haste.

so it keeps protection for preexisting conditions but reinstates lifetime caps

yeah that makes sense

it's just a way for insurance companies to deny people coverage based on preexisting conditions without actually saying its for preexisting conditions

this way republicans can say they didn't touch preexisting condition protection while actually loving it hard
