This bill provides an enormous opportunity for the private insurance market to claim the $8 billion, and agree to provide suitable coverage for all Americans with pre-existing conditions.
Problem solved!
It doesn’t meet the HEALTH CARE SPECIFICCS criteria, so it will die in the Senate.
Today’s vote was symbolic of changes to come, and not the specific changes that will be enacted to fix the hyuuuge mess made by the Dems in 2010.
Here come the lies from the Libitterals about millions and millions losing health care and HI…. in only a matter of … oh, they’ve already started a few hours ago.
I am looking forward to reading the CBO’s analyzation of the financial impact of this bill, which is required before the Senate is even able to review the House’s AHCA plan.
Keep on high fiving yourself while the Senate refuses to vote on this abomination. They are putting together their own proposal with a 12 member working group. Another day, another joke. You do realize this whole thing was a power play, right? It so they can tell people like you, “SEE, we are making a difference! We are getting rid of OBAMACARE HARHAR” while in all reality nothing of substance has actually been done. You are the fakest, most backwards Republican I have ever known. Open your eyes.
Really? If that is what you and the Republicans call obey and submit, I would say the anti-Trump people are obeying and submitting now.

I once more ask, and expect another dodge of the question; what did the CBO project for ACA? How did that estimate turn out? I already heard about their ‘accuracy’ wrt ACA. Who will own up to reporting the CBO estimate of ACA?
PolarBear – if you’d like to discuss a specific projection you believe the CBO got totally wrong with the ACA, I’d be happy to do discuss that with you!
Can you please identify AN ACTUAL ITEM you’d like to discuss in more detail so we can stay focused on whichever projection(s) you think the CBO was way off the mark about on the ACA, instead of a vague general ‘poo-pooing’ of their entire analysis?
I promise not to post a “I’m not going down your rabbit hole” reply if you do bring up some specific item(s) of the CBO’s analysis of the ACA to discuss in more detail.

@Rosenblatt; the CBO is an organization that says it is impartial. That is debatable. The request I made was for someone to post the CBO’s review summary of ACA and we can see how valuable it was after having seen the death spiral.
I am NOT going to specify one error because there are many errors. I am NOT going to follow you down your rabbit hole debating TRIVIAL, MEANINGLESS DETAILS on the CBO. I have duties and obligations to do MEANINGFUL WORK.
So, I once and finally ask, very clearly and specifically;
Did the CBO project the death spiral? Yes or No?

Yes, it will fail in the Senate. The Senate may improve it to the point it satisfies the HEALTH CARE SPECIFICCS criteria I suggested months ago. All of my digits on all of my paws are crossed, hoping for the ideal outcome. But Phase I has been achieved; i.e. repeal of ACA is a certainty now.
PBR – Putting aside the CBO and the implications of their analysis regarding House votes & approval, as I’m sure you know if the Senate changes ANYTHING in the bill it has to go back to the House for another vote.
Aren’t you concerned the Senate’s changes will not be accepted by House Republicans (who had such a hard time reaching an agreement these past few months) and then we’re back to square one again where the ACA repeal isn’t progressing?
No; the death spiral will soon take out ACA, and repeal will likely be a separate bill, as it should be. Then, politicians will realize their political lives depend on allowing and enabling insurance organizations (not only companies) to fix the mess left by Obama and the Dems. such fixes the politicians can enable and support are legislative reforms to regulations of commerce across state lines, tort laws that currentl depress the supply of medical care providers, and punitive tax laws (state, federal) that cause economic inefficiencies and disturb competitive market equilibrium.

Each of the 3 major issues I listed above sh/would be treated with separate legislation. This is something I previously discussed, a few months ago, and it is likely to occur in the next few months.
Eventually, an asymptotic progression of the language and terms in the separate chamber bills will yield convergence in Congress to the best solution; e.g. HEALTH CARE SPECIFICCS.

Please cite POLLS of OPINIONS of credible political pundits on the S-P issue mentioned by Krauthammer. There are plenty of credible people who have different opinions of the future of HI.
And give the incompetent govt that is incapable of keeping their house in order control over my health?
Im currently screwed waiting my Federal Hearing because no one in the system understands that 9 days late on a premium payment (they took my subsidy away and then gave it back the next month which is why they say I was late)is within the 960 day grace period mandated by a law that they themselves don’t have to follow. All due to some glitch in the system.
Is that who you want in charge of your health care? Be care full what you wish for.
FFA, we didn’t wish for the disaster we got either. It was foisted upon us by the Progressive element because they thought they were the smartest people in the room and then they said the American People were too dumb to understand. What terrible people they are!
It would actually lead to the government having less influence because it would eliminate Medicare, Medicaid and the VA health system. You know, all of the thing you guys constantly complain about.
Single Payer only means that the government collects premiums, in the form of taxes, then pays the private companies who administer the care.
It would solve your current issue. Do you think a for profit private company would be so sympathetic, especially if you have a pre-existing condition?
Private companies have glitches, human and/or technological, all of the time. Why hold the government to a higher standard?
Ron – You clearly state my concern.
“Single Payer only means that the government collects premiums, in the form of taxes, then pays the private companies who administer the care.”
They cant be trusted with money. The have proven that. I see no reason to believe it will change.
Paul Ryan is just as bad as OBama with his lies – “we have a replacement plan ready” for years.
I don’t think you hear me complain about Medicare (other then the govt robbed the system and my concerns that after I paid into the system for all these years, it may not be there for me when its my time), the VA (except for the poor lever of care our vets get – they deserve the absolute best).
