Rigel posted:CBO score comes out tomorrow. The reason why it took so long is its one of the most complicated analysis they've had to do in a while because they have to try and predict which states might decide to opt out, which is hard If Quist was savvy, he would have a commercial ready with everything but the CBO budget score already made. As soon as it drops, he starts airing it over Montana tonight and tomorrow for his special election.

quote:H.R. 1628, as passed by the House, would tend to increase such premiums before 2020, relative to those under current law—by an average of about 20 percent in 2018 and 5 percent in 2019, as the funding provided by the act to reduce premiums had a larger effect on pricing. This is kinda big. Larger premium increase in 2018 than the current law by 20%(!!!) during an election year.

Rigel posted:This was the surprise. We kinda expected it would cover slightly more people than the original bill and save a bit less money, but I don't know that anyone including the GOP expected a 20% premium hike in 2018. It's not a 20% premium hike. Next year, the high end estimate is 20-30% increase in premiums for the ACA. The CBO forcast is 20-30% + an additional 20% premium hike.

Covok posted:This thing will pass the Senate. Just like last time some Republicans will be given a hall pass. But Pence will laugh as he confirms the vote with his tie breaker. This is Devos 2.0. This bill doesn't start saving money for the average premium until 2021 or after. In the meanwhile, premiums will increase +25% on top of any predicted Obamacare premium increases. The forecast is basically +50-70% premiums in 2020 from 2017 premiums. This will crush the Republican Party. White non-educated working class aged 50-64 went for Trump like 65/35.

In the meantime, it's going to be worse with a 20% increase compared to Obamacare in 2018 and a 25% net increase compared to Obamacare in 2020.

Bishounen Bonanza posted:You might be the one who needs to go outside and interact with other people. A fair amount of the people I interact with on a daily basis would say that liberal reporter deserved it, and the rest don't give a poo poo one way or the other. There is nothing nihilistic about confronting the truth. Most Americans either don't care or approve of the creeping fascism. The way it gets reported will matter. A headline of "Gianforte responds to question about AHCA by attacking reporter; flees Campaign HQ to evade arrest" can't be spun positively.

In point of fact Waco dropped him from his high down to around 50% and then travelgate knocked him to his low. Gallup only measured approval ratings every two weeks back then. Waco took him from 55% to 45% between the end of April and mid May

The main sources of news were newspapers and local TV news. There wasn't this constant barrage of news 24/7.

You're telling me that Clinton firing 7 people that he didn't appoint, who worked for the White House Travel Office, with a given reason of financial irregularities, THIS is a blockbuster scandal that would drop Clinton 10 approval points 2 weeks after they get fired?

Jared will claim ignorance and it will go away. Nothing will happen until the investigation finds Russian money involved. There is always a paper trail. These bombshells are very useful because they keep the investigation fire going.
