8.7% of Americans still being uninsured under Obamacare in 2026 ain't a great endorsement of current law.

I wonder how much of that number is made of people in states that didn't expand their medicaid coverage?

so the GOP's healthcare plan is to basically save money by denying coverage to anyone who might actually need it, which basically laser focuses in on the elderly? is that a fair summary?

No, the savings part is directly loving the poor

The part where they let insurers charge the eldery 5x that of young people is what will gently caress over old people

This is the difficulty I am having with it as well

The block grant change especially means that the Koch brothers owned stuffed suits in Kansas and Oklahoma can just take a block grant for all gov services and then distribute it amongst their cronies and stiff every non-millionaire, meanwhile actual states that aren't run by death cult morons will be unchanged.

I wasn't expecting the changes to exempt even more anti-Trumpers, in addition to including even more pro-Trumpers

Hilariously, CA might actually take the block grant to help fund their proposal for a state based Single Payer System

Will the Trump family travel less, and Melania make the move to D.C., to make up for the potential Secret Service funding deficit? Probably not. The Post reports that the Secret Service will most likely divert funds from some of its other operations, such as investigating cyber­crime and money laundering, since protecting the first family is its main priority.

That means that Trump gave up on trying to get votes for one of the single biggest issues he ran his campaign on before 8 PM.

Unless, the democrats win bigly in 2018 and take both the House and Senate, 0%

The kind of poo poo we are seeing right now is the republican best effort at this poo poo. They don't want to meaningfully fix the ACA, since it would require them to force the states that didn't expand medicaid to do it.

Also, regulate drug prices and things like that, but again, lol
