"Obamacare"

[treysolid]

Then vote to straight repeal it, after its gone do your bipartisan bill without ocare hanging over 'pub heads, Ever heard of that one John?

that's political suicide

This is why we should have term limits.  McCain can now vote his conscience and not worry about upsetting donors and lobbyists.

Those two sentences seem contradictory...

Not really.  Just look at the last two years of any presidency.  They always start doing the stuff they had always wanted to and focus less on the noise.  Obama got 100% cooler his last couple years.  That is a statistical fact you can google.

Maybe at first glance, but McCain just got term limited by brain cancer.

President Trump just called Congress's bluff and took a sledge hammer to Obamacare. $7 billion in subsidies to the prop up the insurers are gone. Those subsidies were never authorized by the law in the first place. This will cause the the few remaining insurers to jack up their rates or exit the exchanges. In another executive order, Trump also made it a bit easier for people to buy skimpier, cheaper insurance.

Why are you excited that the president "took a sledge hammer" to the citizens healthcare.

[catastrophe]

I've heard many insurers' rates were already starting to account for this since they're not stupid and they know Trump is.

The citizens healthcare? I like that term. Like something you'd hear in Venezuela. Trump took steps to wean people off bloated, government subsidized insurance plans and encourage them to purchase the less expensive coverage they actually need. It's a small step in the right direction to roll back this shitty law (i.e., the citizens healthcare )

How do you define "low income?" We have Medicaid for low income people. That's awesome coverage, right? (If it isn't, then why do liberals want to force every American into it?) If their income is too high to qualify for Medicaid, they still qualify for generous Obamacare subsidies (to buy shitty insurance with premiums they can't afford - but liberals seem to love these policies anyway). This $7 billion subsidy Trump nixed was an illegal bailout to insurance companies.

You are one entitled rough ridin' prick. Not everyone was born into the same circumstance that you were. There are millions of hard working Americans who could not afford to go to college and bust their ass daily to earn what they can and need these subsidized insurance. The GOP had 8 god damn years to come up with alternative and they didnt come up with crap so this bad person is just going torpedo the eff out of citizens of this country just so he can say he can hang a W. Its gross and should be criminal.

States without Medicaid expansion don't come anywhere near covering all poor kids let alone all working families, they cover disabled and some very poor. If CHIP gets cut, even more kids will get kicked off. Check out the requirements.

Individuals who meet the following income limits qualify for Medicaid in Kansas:

Children up to age 1 are covered with family income up to 166 percent of the federal poverty level (FPL)
Children ages 1 to 5 are covered with family income up to 149 percent of FPL
Children ages 6 to 18 are covered with family income up to 133 percent of FPL
Parents with dependent children are eligible with household income up to 33 percent of FPL. For a family of three, that’s $6,738/year in 2017.
Children with family income too high to qualify for Medicaid are eligible for the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP); the income limit is 242 percent of FPL
Individuals who are elderly or disabled may also qualify for KanCare; see the eligibility guidelines

Rest assured there are a great many trump supporters losing their healthcare today

For decades, loads and loads of Republicans have been voting in favor of the financial interests of the rich and against their own.

Calling a Trump supporter genius, even in jest, is beyond explanation.

It's truly amazing how butthurt liberals are that Trump is dismanteling this piece of crap law. It's almost like they believe Obamacare was actually working before those darned Republians started meddling with it.

[gatoveintisiet]

If it were a real law, Trump couldn’t dismantle it.
