my only hope is that if this bill passes, it'll trigger a wave once the whites in the midwest realize that the damned Obamacare was actually helping them.

but it seems like it might not make it out of the Senate, no? i get that its dumb to hope that Republicans will do anything that's not in their own interest but there are some Senators who are gun-shy on this right?

I have a feeling this is going to be strangled in the crib. If it isn't, they are greatly underestimating the amount of healthy young people that are going to say 'gently caress it' and not get insurance at all. Premiums will probably go through the roof, because the 'increased competition' from allowing cross-state insurance is a loving pipe dream. The best we can hope for is that one group of morons (the Freedom Caucus) sabotages the other group of morons (Paul Ryan et. al) and they can't get anything done. If it goes through, it won't take long for it to cause a real health care crisis. That's without taking the Medicaid changes into account.
