It is a massive transfer of wealth from those who do not get health insurance subsidies and have to pay full price for health insurance. Plus a transfer of wealth from people who are obligated to pay the penalty for no insurance.

This so-called healthcare bill grossly hurt the poor, working poor, children, and seniors. They are using the money that was designed to subsidize and help the poor obtain healthcare... many of whom are in the rust belt and rural areas of the US. They are using this money to give tax breaks for the rich and the HE!! with the rest of us. If this bill is allowed to pass as is, millions of people that voted for Trump and his promise are going to be devastated when hospitals in rural areas began to close because of the massive cuts in funds allocated to help fund healthcare for the poor. Hospitals, like any other corporation, has to make a profit in order to stay in business. Take away the funding, so goes the hospitals. This healthcare bill is heartless and is a down-right abomination.

What did you expect Speedy, there are clowns in the white house now. Bunch of fuching morons who don't give a sh1t about anyone but their rich cronies. You have to be a total moron to vote republican.

Obummer has to trash it to take the heat away from him and his signature health care disaster. No one can afford his disaster even while it is falling apart. If it is so good, why doesn't ALL of DC have it? I would be willing to bet HE doesn't even have that crap policy, none of elites have it wonder why?

Amberjack you finally got something right. "Bunch of f morons who don't give a shi& about anyone but their rich cronies". Remember the Idiot Peloisi, "we have to pass the bill before we find what is in it" bs? Who in their right mind would pull crap like that? DEMOCRATS that's who. And all of RICH Washington elite don't even have that crap obummer coverage. Not that many can now with it falling apart. But Obummer & cronies knew that when they put it out. He also knew the premiums would go sky high after he left office, nice legacy.

Healthcare was designed for the needy, not the greedy.

Lejardumb is showing it's ignorance once again, it really is a mental disorder with these people. You pubs need mental evaluation by specialists, I mean it, please get help now !!!

@6&@7
Are you suggesting, keep Obamacare which is dying and being vacated by the insurance companies?

You sure whine a lot about how people vote, esp. for someone who couldn't get off their lazy butt and cast a ballot.

You have the right to free speech, but on this subject your opinion is meaningless.

Obamacare has been, on the whole, an abject failure.

From Americans for Tax Reform:

The Senate’s Obamacare repeal bill abolishes the many middle class taxes that were imposed by President Obama and the Democrat party in 2010. Obama promised repeatedly that he would never raise any form of tax on any household making less than $250,000 per year.

He lied.

Although you’ll never hear it from the establishment media, the Senate’s Obamacare repeal bill:

    Abolishes the Obamacare Individual Mandate Tax which hits 8 million Americans each year.
    Abolishes the Obamacare Employer Mandate Tax.
    Abolishes Obamacare’s Medicine Cabinet Tax which hits the 20 million Americans with Health Savings Accounts and the 30 million Americans with Flexible Spending Accounts.
    Abolishes Obamacare’s Flexible Spending Account tax on 30 million Americans.
    Abolishes Obamacare’s Chronic Care Tax on 10 million Americans with high out of pocket medical expenses. This Obamacare tax imposed higher income taxes on households making an average of $53,000 per year.
    Abolishes Obamacare’s HSA withdrawal tax.
    Abolishes Obamacare’s 10% excise tax on small businesses with indoor tanning services.
    Abolishes the Obamacare health insurance tax.
    Abolishes the Obamacare 3.8% surtax on investment income.
    Abolishes the Obamacare medical device tax.
    Abolishes the Obamacare tax on prescription medicine.
    Abolishes the Obamacare tax on retiree prescription drug coverage.
     

“Obamacare promised to reduce individual insurance premiums – a lot. Premiums rose – a lot,” said Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform. Obama promised no tax hikes on anyone earning less than $250,000 – that was a lie. Taxes increased. Healthcare costs increased. Obamacare failed. By its own promised goals, it failed. It is time to repeal failure and reform healthcare to protect consumers, not bureaucracy.”

Sorry, I should have copied and pasted that first into a Notepad document, then C&P from it to here to get rid of the formatting.

Free healthcare is not a right.

@jarasan- Every since Affirmative Action, a certain class of people think everything should be free.

@mikeintexas- Do you notice how Democrats never look at the facts?

Affirmative action? How stupid can you be. This has nothing to do with Affirmative action, but everything to do with Trumpcare. This affects whites as well as blacks. In fact, more whites will be affected. This won't affect me at all, but I know many that it will. If you think this healthcare bill will be friendly toward you, you will be in for a rude awakening. SAD:<

I was not affected by Obamacare, I won't be affect by this bill.

Awwww Amberjack do you EVER stop whining? I agreed you had it right and you STILL whining what a crybaby. It aint me baby that needs a mental adjustment. I have a suggestion, don't go away crying, just go away, go hide your ugly asss face. And GROW the HELL UP.

Speedy, the person talking the most here is from Florida, and, Florida had and still has the largest enrollment of Obamacare participants. This is fact and here are the corresponding links from 2015 and then in 2017:

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/florida-has-most-users-of-obamacare-in-u-s/

http://www.miamiherald.com/news/health-care/article124589289.html

When I carefully read what he had to say about this bill being such a such a failure, I still couldn't find where he acknowledged how Florida, being a RED STATE, made Obamacare quite successful. Man, this is the reason why I slowed my row with these folks around here...they completely ignore facts in lieu of pursuing 'feel good beliefs. Obamacare needs some tweaking but, it's proven that it's a success considering what was going on prior to it. Yeah, premiums sure did increase as you get what you pay for, and, the mandate helped hospitals from losing billions of dollars from people unable to pay for rendered services.

Those with tunnel vision see this from a cost-only perspective while others encapsulate the entire objective and try to balance things.

Why would any sane person believe anything Obama says anymore?

Obama said "If you like your healthcare plan you can keep your healthcare plan"

I liked mine and wasn't complaining but as it turned out Obama Didn't like my Healthcare plan and he and his Marxist cohorts ripped it from me and they raped me with something far worse and more expensive. If Obamacare Doesn't have Cadillac Coverage I don't what plan does. Obamacare Covers things NOT that I may or may not use but I have to have coverage that I cant use!

Obama is a Liar and most sane people know it!

Barry and his hoards need free healthcare in jail.

Trumpski is a wuss, pathological liar, and a poser.

We have trolls who don't acknowledge what is right in their face, their Obama Messiah is full of it.
Obama out-an-out lied to every single American so many times it is pathetic.
There is no such thing as a sane troll, at least not on this thread.

Obama is no longer POTUS, Trumpski is. It hard to defend an Orange wrinkle head man day after day. You whined about Obama for 8 years, now it's your turn. So don't get pissed off when your dictator is made fun of. LMAO

Shock me, say something intelligent for once.

I don't waste my time trying to explain something to a dim wit. SAD:<

LilSleazy come up with anything original? Copy President Trump when he says SAD?

Youre the best at all you do and all you do is make people hate you.

LETHARGIC, I could care less about you bozos because you're here today and gone tomorrow. If you notice some have already gone. SAD:<

I couldn't care less about you. Good grief and you a so called teacher?   You have the IQ of lint.

SAD:< So original, Copy President Trump much?

Federal government should not be subsidizing health care. Put it back the way it was before Odumbo screwed everything up and be done with it.

KKKAL, if Americans are so crazy about TRUMPCARE, how come repubs are being attacked by their constituents when they go home? I know, that's dems doing the protesting. You're not very bright if you believe that. Trumpcare will affect everyone and everything.

Lil'dummy, you're showing your ignorance again. Go back and read my comment again. It said NOTHING about Trumpcare being so great. The government needs to get out of the health care business period. But some of President Trump's advisers are steering him in the wrong direction because they want to appease the demon-rats by keeping in the unsustainable subsidies because of the millennial entitlement mentality. Again, I repeat, it needs to go back to the way it was before Odumbo screwed it up and put us in this mess to begin with.

KKKAL, you're not knowledgeable enough to speak about how things use to be. I speak from experience, you speak about what you read or heard on Wacky talk radio. Grasshopper stay in your place, you have much to learn. Your life experiences can't be compared to mine. I know you were taught to believe that so you can't help how you are.

Otay!

KKKAL, I'm glad you know the truth, it will make you free and heal your mind that is full of bigotry and hate.

What a CROCK Lilsleazy seeing as how it came from a racist, bigot, who is full of hate. What a hypocrite you are.

LETHARGIC, do yourself a favor and KMASB.

Sleaze do us all a favor and disappear.

LETHARGIC, be careful. The way people are leaving the post permanently may be your turn.

I'm going to play my numbers, but I'll be back.
