Only tards value the rich over the working people of America. Fire all the tards, vote Democratic in 2018

there is a segment of the population that thinks the ultra rich don't have enough. they are demanding we give them more, because in the end they think the ultra rich will give back some pittance to survive on. if we don't give more to the rich, they will stop creating situations of wealth for all of us.

So long as these Insurance, Drug Companies and the filthy rich send those young men to these republican's rooms, the poor will get poorer and the rich will get richer.

Why did the Democrats not read O Care when they passed it? The RNC or DNC does not give a Crap about your health.75 million people on Medicaid!

Looks like the White House made it through 3rd grade math with an F.

Posted by the White House on Twitter. Let it sink in

FACT: when #Obamacare was signed, CBO estimated that 23M would be covered in 2017. They were off by 100%. Only 10.3M people are covered.

and while you''re projecting out your insurance costs remember that we would be returning to the old system of old people paying more and youth paying less. ACA, insurance and its subsidies were based on income. that goes away now

Add *Because politicians do not own insurance companies or provide healthcare* to my previous post.

I'm sure the new plan will suck just as bad as the old one. They should let insurance companies decide what to sell. If the public don't like the plans and refuse to buy them then the insurance companies will change or go out of business.

don't know your income or how much coverage you are buying, but check out the new CBO score, after that get back to us and let us know how much better this new plan is

I don't under this. Before Obamacare I could get a plan with a premium of around $200 per month. After Obamacare it will cost me around $500 per month with a $5000 deductible. Why don't the government get out of healthcare? I guess the republicans would rather keep screwing it up.

and those deductibles they are complain about ... yeah those ... that avg 3600????


those now go to 6000

freebies .... pffffffttttt


let's not forget the 1.75 million vets that are dependent on Medicaid

they aren't kidding me. some of the posters don't care at all. but for others .. they are willing to dump on liberals and let them take the heat for the very thing they want themselves. this healthcare bill is rotten to the core and intended to inflict on those without the strongest voice. and those voices are right here in Wilkes county.


there isn't anyone that doesn't know an old person, someone with a threatening health situation, a child with a disability, etc ... we know them. they are our families and neighbors. and we know most people are one diagnosis away from financial ruin.

so how is it feasible to take from them .. and give to those that do not have that need??????

no ... these fine god fearing christians know they are letting the liberals take the heat for this ... hoping the whole time the liberals win and they get to benefit from it.

All these freebies you speak of never should have been given in the first place.

The Federal Government should never be involved in health insurance

CBO: "services to help women avoid becoming pregnant affected. in areas without practitioners who serve low-income 15% would lose access to care"

what problem is this new Senate/House bill suppose to be solving?

: "Under Senate bill, average premiums for benchmark plans for single individuals 20% higher in 2018 than current law. lower after 2020"

Senate covers 22 million less than today

House covers 23 million less than today

what problem are they solving?
CBO score ..... 15 million will lose their coverage next year out of projected 22 million

Elmo Cleghorn

if you let your insurance lapse for more than 63 days, you will not be allowed to gain insurance for 6 months


now how could that go wrong??????
