the unveiling of the republican american health care act has been met with less than enthusiastic reviews: it's slated to leave more than 14 million uninsured by 2018 and 24 million by 2026.

coupled with repealing obamacare medicaid measures, an additional 5 million low-income people could be dropped by 2018 with an exponential increase as premiums rise and subsidies decrease for a whopping grand total of 52 million uninsured by 2026.

these numbers make the last leg of the obamacare repeal exceptionally tough as the replacement looks less and less possible to implement

well, this is what they wanted

Well, if people can't go out and get health insurance/ find jobs with health insurance plans, then it's not the government's job to force it down people's throats.

you know, even with a job that gets you health insurance, you still end up paying around 20-30% of the cost. the smaller the business, the more you have to pay for health insurance.

all in all this boils down to "stop being poor"

it's not the government's job to force it down people's throats.

It is, however, their job to gracefully wean people off of the ACA if they want to repeal it. Really no reason to try and push it so fast considering how many people still depend on it.

once again Matthew spews out steaming stuff, acting like he knows what he's talking about

Everyone is responsible for themselves. Don't expect anything, not even Social Security. Be prepared for everything.

yes prepare for the worst but hope for the best and be cared for by those who have the clear capability to do so

Everyone is responsible for themselves. Don't expect anything, not even Social Security. Be prepared for everything.
Imagine if every cell in your body was 'responsible for itself'

Society literally can't function properly if it's everybody for itself. You'll have more competition, less workers, less happiness. You're asking for anarchy, in which society will forget itself over, split into sub-groups, war with each other and eventually form a collective government again.

Everyone is responsible for themselves. Don't expect anything, not even Social Security. Be prepared for everything.
so... anarchism? no government at all?

hillary is too deep
abandon ship

Everyone is responsible for themselves. Don't expect anything, not even Social Security. Be prepared for everything.
And don't forget to destroy every loving road you see

a land of the truly free, where every man is free to think, to act, for himself!

Everyone is responsible for themselves. Don't expect anything, not even Social Security. Be prepared for everything.
