Hersh Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I bet they will latch onto the federal deficit number and that people would have lower premiums 10 years from now. Of course they will leave out that it will be because of crappier coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many Republicans who don't like the proposal, don't like it because it doesn't gut the safety net as much as they'd like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't matter what the reason for the opposition is in regards to stopping it from passing. Now down the line it could be a problem with either reinforcing the current system or fixing it.

Captain Wiggles Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 So the $336 billion "saved" over 10 years actually just goes into defense. We'll have $60 billion more allocated to defense no questions asked but we're not able to afford $30 billion a year over 10 years for Healthcare. Ok... Thanks Republicans. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't wish bad things for them at all... in fact, the opposite. Of course, I'm angry at them for 1) voting for a party that often doesn't seem to actually support them, 2) voting for a guy with so, so many issues, 3) believing in Trump when he lies habitually, 4) buying into the fear mongering and 5) that many of them see themselves as Christians yet seem to have little empathy for people that desperately need help or are different from them (in any number of ways). That's not including the fact that Trump seems to be dismantling our role in the world which looks to lead us into a major war in the not too distant future, due to personal conflicts and incompetence. I have no sympathy whatsoever. I want them to feel the full negative impact of everything Trump and the GOP does over the next 2-4 years. Whatever good that may come out of this Trump/GOP era will be eclipsed by all the damage that will be done. Let them reap what they sowed! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, from the little bit I think I understand, a good chunk of those "savings" are fictional. Supposedly, the proposal contains language that states that, when it kicks in, in 2020, then the amount spent on Medicaid will magically stop going up, and will remain constant, ever more. I doesn't actually specify any cuts to Medicaid. It just says that the amount spent will stay the same (without saying how they intend that to happen). In short, when the CBO scores this bill, they're required to pretend that the Republicans will cut Medicaid in the neighborhood of 10% a year, for six years in a row, without the Republicans actually saying how they're going to cut it.

The Sisko Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I think their plan for doing that is via block grants. It gives them the ability to budget a set number of dollars for it so the states can figure out how they're going to pay for the remainder. Of course most of them will do it by arbitrarily limiting the number of people on Medicaid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pointing out that this is the person who, when the GOP took ofer Congress, got rid of (I think it was called) the Congressional Research Office, (a non-partisan agency who's job was to give Congress facts about legislation that was being considered), thus forcing congressmen to get their information from the GOP or lobbyists. In short, one of the persons who decided that facts were not in the interest of the GOP. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
