House Republicans plan to vote on (repeal & replace) tomorrow---5/03/2017

[S.J.]

no public hearings on it, no cost analysis on it.....what is it going to cost?

No information on what people will pay for it or explanation of why this is better?

no information on exactly HOW does it bring the cost down for all of us or what kind of plans will now be allowed or not allowed?

This really is the darkest, hidden from the public bill I've ever seen congress bring to the floor to vote on, besides the Republican Medicare Pill Bill under Bush 2....

Amazing how much we pay these suckers in congress to represent us.....where the heck is ANY REPRESENTATION of us or SUNSHINE for us on this Bill?

I guess we'll have to pass it to find out what's in it.

 

[oreo]

So our pussy grabber in chief is looking for a win here! I wonder if he'll get it?

I think the answer will be,,,,,,no...

The Senate is not going to pass this. Senate Democrats would filibuster this to hell and back--and make sure every single American in this country knew who was taking away their health care away.

This is just House Republicans doing the political dog & pony show for the 2018 midterm election cycle to tell their consitutents "I VOTED to repeal and replace Obamacare." It's Democrats that stopped us in the Senate--that's the problem--it's all their fault.

It looks like the Repeal & Replace has come back to life:

"The House will vote Thursday on the Republican bill to repeal and replace Obamacare, setting up a dramatic moment that could give President Donald Trump the significant legislative victory he's been seeking.

Top Republicans are very confident. Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy emerged from Speaker Paul Ryan's office Wednesday night all but triumphant."We will be voting on the health care votes tomorrow. Because we have enough votes. It'll pass. It's a good bill," McCarthy, R-California, told a scrum of reporters gathered outside.

Peppered with questions, McCarthy responded enthusiastically: "We're gonna pass it. We're gonna pass it. Let's be optimistic about life!"

An eleventh-hour deal announced earlier in the day renewed momentum as leaders furiously lobbied undecided or skeptical lawmakers on the plan that had been teetering on the brink of collapse.
House leaders have continued to make clear that if everything goes their way, their preference was to have a vote Thursday. But they were also insistent: They would not call a vote unless they believed it would pass."

So who gets hurt?
A notable change in mood came after GOP Reps. Fred Upton and Billy Long met with President Donald Trump at the White House and flipped their votes from "no" to "yes." Trump committed to backing an amendment spending $8 billion over five years to fund high-risk pools and go toward patients with pre-existing conditions.

As originally introduced, the bill would leave 24 million fewer people insured by 2026 than under Obamacare, the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office said. There will not be a new CBO report before Thursday's vote on the legislation.

The GOP health care bill would eliminate Obamacare taxes on the wealthy, insurers and others, and get rid of the individual mandate imposed by Obamacare, officially known as the Affordable Care Act. Instead of the Obamacare subsidies that are tied to income and premiums, the GOP plan would provide Americans with refundable tax credits based mainly on age to purchase health insurance.

The legislation would also allow insurers to charge higher premiums to those in their 50s and early 60s, compared to younger consumers.

After 2020, states that expanded Medicaid would no longer receive enhanced federal funding to cover low-income adults, and those that hadn't expanded would be immediately barred from doing so.

It would allow states to relax some key Obamacare protections of those with pre-existing conditions, which are among the health reform law's most popular provisions. States could apply for waivers to allow insurers to offer skimpier policies that don't cover the 10 essential health benefits mandated by Obamacare. Also, insurers would be able to charge higher premiums to those with medical issues if they let their coverage lapse. States requesting waivers would have to set up programs -- such as high-risk pools -- to protect insurers from high-cost patients.

However, the GOP bill doesn't touch one another beloved piece of Obamacare -- letting children stay on their parents' insurance plans until the age of 26.

This is Republican Senator Tom Cotton's welcome home town hall party in Arkansas over health care.

Excuse me retard, today is the 3rd.

.

Tomorrow Thursday the 4th. If they pass this bill it's dead on arrival in the Senate anyway. It wouldn't surprise me if Mitch McConnel tables it and doesn't even bring it up for discussion.

This the Hallaluya pass to prop up the Comrade.

Well, at least you got tomorrows date right. LOL

.

Well who gives a crap. If a date is my only error after posting over 16K posts on this board--have a party over it.

You're seriously disturbed if you think that's your only error. But we'll see how it all plays out.

Amazing how much we pay these suckers in congress to represent us.....where the heck is ANY REPRESENTATION of us or SUNSHINE for us on this Bill?

I guess we'll have to pass it to find out what's in it.

the House took 9 months of hearings and floor time discussing the House Bill and every single Rep in the House read every single word of the bill if they wanted, before they voted on it.

The Senate too had their own health care hearings and floor speeches and had their own Health car Bill that passed the Senate and every Senator could read every word of the bill before passing it.

What Pelosi was talking about, was the Reconciliation bill, where the Senate Bill and the House bill were combined together, that they would have to pass without the chance to read it all combined together. They could read the Senate Bill and their own bill, but not the merged together bill.

So, it was not like they did not KNOW what was in the merged bill if thy had followed the Senate's progress and Senate bill....

she messed up and that statement of hers will follow her forever....even though it is NOT nearly as bad as it sounded.

Trump-Hater Faux Outrage of the week. It's pretty lame. I saw the Fake Newsters on CNN freaking out about it last night. To sum up their faux outrage... 'Trump's a Nazi, he hates African Americans, he hates Native Americans, and he loves Kim Jong Un.' Oh, and he's the 'Devil' too. Can't forget that one.

Such hysterical loony Fake News propaganda. CNN should be forced to remove the word 'News' from its brand name. It's anything but 'News' at this point.

So our pussy grabber in chief is looking for a win here! I wonder if he'll get it?

Actually if this passes, Republicans will likely lose control of the House. A lot of moderates will have to explain why millions of people lost their insurance. You couple it with the fact that Republicans need the money to pay for tax cuts, it will be devastating.

And they have that stupid MANDATE in it still, where if any of us go longer than 60 days without insurance, then when some day we decide to buy health insurance, the health insurance companies can charge you 30% more for the policy.

that's a MANDATE folks...it forces us to buy insurance or pay thru hell for it, when we do decide or when we can afford to finally buy it....30% more can be charged....that's a penalty, a mandate penalty.

Only the Insurance companies get the golden egg for the penalty.... instead of our govt.

Very good point I hadn't thought of that. So if you don't have medical insurance "now" or when this bill goes into effect--(which I don't believe it will pass the Senate anyway) then insurers can charge you more because because your coverage lapsed. Yet at the same time they have taken out the mandate to have health insurance. Hmmm.

Have you ever thought that not responding might be your best option, of course not, you're not even smart enough to check a date. Also if my response is in line with the post I'm responding to, it is on topic, isn't it. Now run along child and speculate yourself into oblivion.

anyone who thinks Americans shouldn't have a choice, if they want to buy health insurance, needs to move

You're wrong. Most of the details of ACA were hidden, and Republicans were kept out of most of the discussions as well as the details of the bill itself. Don't compromise your integrity for those creeps, they don't care about you.

 

[BULLDOG]

Republican town halls are getting very, very nasty

To Americans who have health insurance because of Obamacare--it is the equivalent of someone saying you won't be getting your social security check next month.

They will never forgive nor forget it.

so basically , you recognize obamacare is another socialist extortion tool

If you can't use quotes without changing what is attributed to each person, you should get someone to teach you how.

This is Republican Senator Tom Cotton's welcome home town hall party in Arkansas over health care.

Does it bring back the inexpensive catastrophic plans that Obamacare made illegal ?

They're still not addressing the real issue--and that's why premiums are skyrocketing.

The cost of medical care. Prescription drugs. Why are we as Americans paying 3 times as much for prescription drugs than Canada does? While we're manufacturing those medicines here in the United States?

Why is it that there are not more clinics around to handle--x-rays--MRI's and other routine exams at a lower cost to the patient--versus having to go to the hospital to get them done?

Why aren't there Nurse Practitioners in Walgreens--Wal-marts and other major drug stores in this country that can handle flu shots, medical issues such as colds, sore throats and write prescriptions for illness's etc. at a much lower cost?

Playing Musical chairs with health care isn't going to put a dent into the Premiums., and that's the main complaint with Obamacare. The Freaking premiums. In fact they'll go up with this plan because they are eliminating the Mandate for everyone have medical insurance. That means fewer and fewer people paying for insurance, meaning more and more will see their premiums go up to take up the slack.

When Democrats take over again--they'll be messing with this plan. So we'll go through another musical chair health care fiesta--and they'll never really FIX anything.

Trump had a "negotiating session" with Big Pharma on lowering drug costs. He left that meeting saying the drug companies need those prices.

He promised lower drug prices but the world's best negotiator failed again.
