    It should be noted that the 20% decrease in premiums will mostly be due to the fact that States will be allowed to slash the minimum requirements for what qualifies as a minimum health insurance. This bill does cut almost 300 billion from the federal deficit and thereby gives McConnell almost 200 billion to add in some pork and bring on some of the more moderate republicans. Whether that will further alienate the most conservative republicans, 4 of whom have already voiced their rejection of this bill, is yet to be seen.

    Nobody can lose something they can buy. So 10million more today won't purchase coverage.

    It's not my responsibility if they can or can't afford it.

    Premiums have risen under the so called "Affordable Care Act" a full 140%!
    I have more concern for the people struggling to get by as it is trying to keep up with the rising costs of health care, that they must pay, than the people Barry Obama called "free riders" who will have everyone else pay their bills for them.

    As usual the left wants people who can least afford it to bear the brunt of taking care of people who cannot or will not take care of themselves.

    I'm sure that number also includes people who will simply choose to forgo insurance once it is no longer mandatory to have it.

    I need to do more research but I did hear that nearly 3/4 of the people expected to be uninsured will be those that choose to not have insurance.


    Over all the plan is hot garbage and U hope they scrap it. The only thing I do like about it is the 6 month ineligibility if you go 2 months without insurance.

    Yep, and when they get sick they will get care anyway and someone else will pay for it. That was the way it worked before the ACA and that is the way it will work under Trumpcare.

    So how do you suggest society take care of the healthcare need of people who cannot take care of themselves.

    As I said I have more concern for the people who are being driven to become that part of society
    who are indigent and cannot pay for their own needs.
    That segment needs relief immediately! As for the "free riders" Obama didn't seem to like they can get care in free health clinics and for catastrophic care through Medicare (of the top of my head).

    No, it means that approximately 100 million will pay a greater amount in taxes when those 22 million show up for emergency healthcare to take care of something that could have been handled through preventive care.

    And what will TrumpCare do the premiums over the next 3 years?

    Also, least afford it bears the brunt? Seriously? TrumpCare is a massive tax cut for the rich and TrumpCare eliminates massive amount of help that Obamacare afforded the poor.

    Does this bill prevent people from waiting until they are sick to buy insurance?

    If Mitch McConnell isn't stopped they will likely continue to rise for the people caught in the middle.

    Yes. Seriously.

    Where did I ever say I thought Trump Care was the answer? Stop making embarrassing assumptions.
