I'm having trouble having any sympathy for those who didn't know their insurance was Obamacare, "it's horrible, it sucks. I want to keep my ACA plan". Hahaha.
This "tryan" healthcare is never going to pass, no way, no how. I firmly believe that but if I have to come back and eat crow, I will.
No crow dinner for you.
President Trump met with the conservative Freedom Caucus wing of the Republican Congress this week to negotiate their votes on the Trump/Ryan American Health Care bill.
At today's press briefing, Sean Spicer said that the bill would be voted on tonight and it would pass the House, period. When asked by a reporter, he said there was no Plan B.
Well...........they did not have enough 'yes' votes in queue to go to vote and get passage. So, the vote has been postponed.
I actually agree with the Freedom Caucus on this one. The bill is shit. It forces people to continue paying for coverage items they don't need (like senior males buying policies that include maternity care) and it raises premiums and deductibles for the most vulnerable, while giving big tax breaks to the wealthy.
