Cassidy-Graham Plan Would Add Millions to Uninsured

[Ativan Prescribed]

Trumps republican lap dogs, same shit, different day.
They are going to great lengths to lie about this, they say it is different until you actually look at it.
The arguments over the various merits of healthcare plans can't include this one, it isn't a plan, it's a tax cut for the rich on the peoples backs.


Like Other ACA Repeal Bills, Cassidy-Graham Plan Would Add Millions to Uninsured, Destabilize Individual Market

I have watched a lot of interviews on this one and the one that stands out the most is the one on Fox where they had the VP Pence and asked a simple direct question:

(To the credit of Fox of actually asking a real direct question)

"Will people be guaranteed that their pre-existing condition will be covered"

Pence's answer essentially was that No it will be up to each state to setup their health plans to support that. (Though he said it in a very PC way.

This is what I am most worried about. I have a number of pre-existing conditions that will spell a very bleak future if I cannot get insurance for.

McCain says he will vote no on GOP health-care bill, dealing major blow to repeal effort

“I would consider supporting legislation similar to that offered by my friends Senators Graham and Cassidy were it the product of extensive hearings, debate and amendment. But that has not been the case,”  McCain said. He blamed a looming Sept. 30 deadline that GOP leaders were racing to meet to take advantage of a procedural rule allowing them to pass their bill with just 51 votes.

McCain also said he could not vote for a bill without a complete snapshot of its effects from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, which said earlier this week it could only provide a partial picture by next week. The office said it could not determine the bill’s impact on insurance premiums or project the change in insurance coverage levels it would trigger until a later date.



“I believe we could do better working together, Republicans and Democrats, and have not yet really tried,” McCain said. He added that he took “no pleasure” in his announcement. McCain and Graham are close friends.
