One of the unintended effects of the Senate’s Obamacare repeal bill would be to slash money that pays for a project popular among Republicans — using long-distance video hookups called telemedicine to connect sick kids in rural schools to big-city medical experts.



In poor and rural areas, many in deep-red Trump Country, the school nurse is not just handing out bandages anymore; she’s become a de facto medical guide, marshaling medical care for poor kids with obesity, asthma and diabetes, while on the lookout for issues like child abuse and teen pregnancy.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s health care bill is getting failing grades from red-state school leaders — even in his home state of Kentucky.



Fleming County Schools Superintendent Brian Creasman was taken aback when he discovered the bill would make cuts that could devastate his ability to provide health services to needy and disabled kids.

The Senate health care bill, if it becomes law, would set in motion a massive rollback of Medicaid funding beginning in three years. But even some Republican supporters acknowledge the full cuts might never happen.



Instead, they say it could become another Washington fiscal cliff, where lawmakers go to the brink of radical spending changes only to pull back — or have their successors pull back — just before the point of inflicting real pain in the face of intense pressure.

Marco Rubio: Another proponent of the Alan Grayson take on the Republican healthcare system.

 

1. Don't get sick.

2. If you do get sick, die quickly.

 

The House and Senate bills could have saved a lot of words and been more upfront with us. They never propose anything else. They are consistent.

If Kasich was the nominee he would be trashed and called a idiot or worse, while ya voted for Hillary.

Such is life.

 

That is the flip side of this board, but hey Kasich is a repub in blue territory. If he got out he might be more to the right than center. He's ok now but you never know. 

 

Just no win in the BillHill vs Oompaloompa POTUS race

Well gee Marco, that's a brave stance and all, but since "Bernie's Gov't run healthcare for all" bill isn't sitting on your desk to be signed, how about actually proposing something to improve the current system, hows that sound?

If they really wanted to make america great from a republican standpoint....they should have nominated him out of the pack.

No doubt! But they had to kill off Jon Snow for being reasonable and making needed compromises and go all in for fat 71 years old senile Joffrey....

Um, no (not that I ever expect your bot program to make sense).

Kasich beat Hillary easily in national polling.

Well, let's see..  one day McCain was a primary candidate polling high, and then upon nomination Sarah Palin entered the picture and started running her ditzy yap.

 

Probably totally unconnected though, right?
