Posted a bunch in the Greenlight thread in CineD by accident, but the thing I'd repost here is that I think the AARP is gonna rev their poo poo up and just start wrecking poo poo soon, somewhat based on Price's disastrous press conference. The guy didn't even know what was in the bill, and said seniors were getting too much, i mean.

I think they have no real interest in passing a healthcare repeal. They just want to be able to say they tried and blame dems

Kinda hard to blame dems when you've got a majority in both houses.

Say they get this poo poo passed, there's no way it can live up to the promises. Then who do they blame? Like insurance is still gonna go up, people WILL lose coverage, people will be pissed, insurance companies will drop out of the marketplace, etc. Next move?
They will blame Obama.

The AARP crying havoc and unleashing the dogs of war is always incredible.

It's a good thing for the GOP that 50-65 year olds aren't particularly republican or concerned about health care prices or vote a lot.

Literally 7 years to plan a replacement and their best plan is just 'uuhhhhhh...... gently caress everyone'

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.

A couple weeks old, but very nice, straight from the AARP website

quote:


As news of Ryan’s proposed Medicare overhaul spread, it stirred fears among the 57 million beneficiaries who rely on it to cover prescription drugs, doctor visits and hospitalizations. Democrats lined up to pledge their opposition. It also prompted an outcry from consumer groups, including AARP.

What remains to be seen in January, as Congress reconvenes and the president-elect takes office, is how Trump’s campaign assurances to protect Medicare will hold up against House lawmakers intent on revamping the popular health program.

Trump contributed to the uncertainty by announcing House Budget Committee Chairman Tom Price (R-Ga.) as his pick to run the Department of Health and Human Services. Price has been an advocate of Ryan’s Medicare approach, which supporters call “premium support” and critics decry as a “voucher system.” Trump’s website further raised questions about his plans for Medicare. It says he wants to “modernize Medicare,” which is often seen as Washington code for the type of changes Ryan wishes to make.

Since the election, Trump has not made any comments about Medicare. But in an interview with ABC News on Dec. 4, Vice President-elect Mike Pence said Trump “made it very clear in the course of the campaign that we’re going to keep our promises in Social Security and Medicare.”


The Ryan Approach

Ryan’s Medicare overhaul, a version of which passed the GOP-controlled House, would fundamentally change how Medicare works.

I think the exceptional partisan hardening of the country may be able to allow a party to suffer no backlash among their base, but I'd need to see the GOP comfortably win in 2018 to believe it.
