24 Million Kicked Off Insurance Plus Your Premiums Are Going To Be 15-20% Higher Under Trumpcare

Trump and the Republicans would kick 24 million off health care according to the CBO.

Oh, and here is what Trump promised to do on health care:



Looks like he lied a lot.

What a pleasant surprise ! ! ! For once malibber2 and DonDiego are in agreement.
The Reublicans should've ignored The Obamacare disaster and just let the entire experiment collapse in the already beginning "death-spiral", as insurers drop out and customers drop out in an ever accelerating flurry until the program died.

DonDiego opines the Republican attempt to save The Obamacare was a mistake to begin with, . . . and now the Republicans will share the blame when the now-twice-awful legislation blows up.

It would have been far better if the entire blame for the ill-thought-through, deceptive, ineffective, expensive health care, . . . oops !, . . . not health care, health insurance scheme had remained with the Democrats alone.

But here things stand, . . . as malibber2 explained, millions being kicked off health care, [malibbers 2 meant health insurance], and premiums going up, . . . and President trump is to blame. That people had already been losing insurance coverage and premiums were already going up, . . .i.e. that The Obamacare was destined to implode, . . . already forgotten.

The big change, now President trump will share the blame with The Obama.

Oh, . . .and somehow poor old DonDiego suspects he'll end up footing a share of the bill, . . . again.

Obama won't be "sharing" any blame for the callous Libertarian doctrine put before the people by Republicans.

Republicans did not build on the progress of Obamacare - they went backwards. Good luck selling that to DonDiego's Medicaid neighbors in Appalachia

Malibber2 suggests Don Diego convert the tomato ranch to burial plots for all those old folks that die when the Medicaid block grants run out and they are turned away from the nursing home. He could sell add on services like euthanasia for additional income.

Malibber2 overestimates the size of Tomato Ranch Ridge; the entire area would fill up within, pr'bly, 5 years, . . . tops. And since poor old DonDiego resides within the city-limits the permitting process would be prohibitively expensive.

Besides, DonDiego supposes his neighbors up heh' on The Ridge would not take kindly to the interment of even the few dozen bodies which the Tomato Ranch would accommodate, . . . not to mention objections to the loss of free tomatoes which DonDiego distributes to establish Good Will up heh' on the Ridge.

I guess maliber overlooked this line

"But by 2026, average premiums would be about 10 percent lower than they would be if Obamacare remained intact, the office said"

The only consistent thing about CBO estimates is that they are consistently wrong

Sure, by 2026, with an estimated 50 million, mostly older, poorer people being off the insurance rolls, premiums for the rest will decline. Does Hoops think that is a win? Who picks up the tab when they get sick?

All I did was point out that maliber misrepresented his title, as premiums will be going down

No, they go up 15 to 20 percent more than Obamacare right away. They don't go down until years later.

Premiums will go up in the near future. No one is disputing that. They may be lower than they would have been in ten years, but no one is claiming they will go down.
If today's premiums equal 100, Trumpcare will increase them to 120. In 2026, they will be at 140, rather than 154. Nowhere do they go down. They go up slower, at a cost of 52 million being uninsured.
Who will pay for the one eighth of the population when they get sick? I imagine that will fall on American taxpayers.
