Part of me wishes AHCA passes so that Trump voters will feel the pain...

...that they voted for.

But the Democrat part of me wishes no pain on anyone ...guilty or innocent. So in the final analysis, I hope AHCA does not pass.

1. Even if they felt it, they would never accept that it came from him.

Their minds (such as they are) are closed.

They would not blame him.

People once holding out for single-payer will turn-in a Bernie Bro for some borscht.

I want the dumb asses that wouldn't listen to reason to pay a price for being mislead by a snake oil salesman. I mean holy crap! They wouldn't even believe facts when given to them!

BUT!!!!!
I know people who need help through no fault of their own. They saw thru all the rhetoric and voted for HRC who was clearly in their corner. I pray that these people don't pay a price for the ignorance of Trump voters and evil Republican leaders in congress.

6. Best case scenario:

If it passes: Before it goes in effect there is a backlash in 2018 and the implementation stalls until the Dems can enact single payer as soon as they take over after the 2020 elections.
(And we all get a pony.)
But I don't see the public accepting this as presently drafted.

9. Blame Obama

They will blame Obama if it happens to them. And if other people lose their health care bybthe millions they'll say it's not true.

This group thought it was a lie that Obamacare reduced the uncovered to record lows and reduced annual cost growth. So when tens of millions lose coverage and prices sky rocket they won't believe it's true, unless it happens to them, then they'll blame Obama.

10. Fuck that. The Democrat in me wishes that every ill the deplorables enable gets visited upon them

first and foremost. But they can keep it local, like in Kansas. And I have no wish that the AHCA pass. That would be very Ralph, Jill or Susan of me.

Peace, tovarich.

little kids and Grandma. If it passes the GOP train wreck will be fun to watch, but the price will be awfully high.
