Media needs to stop calling this a health bill. At this point it is an insurance and tax break bill.

All healthcare has been exorcised.

1. The press has been setting up false equivalencies for decades now

2. People shouldnt need further proof for Trump this has nothing to do with covering

people since he has now agreed to take coverage away from everybody.

This has only been about harming Obama legacy, no matter how many millions of Americans have to become homeless and die.

And while this is now obviously true, he STILL has 30% of this country in love with him.

3. K & R ......for truth...nt

4. actually i think it plays better for us this way.

this way, they're taking away healthcare.

the more they focus on the tax break aspect of it, the more people will think it's a tax break for them, even though this is very explicitly a tax break for high earners only.

5. A REAL Health Care bill would have as its BASIC requirement...

Abolishing for-profit insurance of necessary health care. Private, for-profit insurance is the single biggest chunk of our health care cost.

9. Exactly! Why do you think insurance companies love this bill?

If they love it, you can bet it's terrible for us.

This bill is nothing but a boondoggle for Trump's buddies, who supported his campaign.

10. I'm also lookin for a health care bill...

whose imminent passage drives the damned stock market DOWN, not up. The market, for me, is a cravenness meter. The higher it goes, the more poor people will suffer and, evidently, die.

6. Basically agree, but way healthcare is paid for -- or not paid for -- impacts the delivery system.

7. It is hands down the worst piece of public policy legislation

we have seen in our lives.

It was a dumpster fire when it was penned, and in the insane world republicans live in, they actually have made it worse trying to get it passed.

THAT is how hateful and deranged these assholes are.

[Fla Dem]

8. I agree. It's a health insurance bill even the AHCA was all about insurance.
