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

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

So according to the CBO the premiums would be lower than if we had obamacare

Attaboy, Hoops. Way to put a smiley face on this dud.

I just conjured up images of you wearing a short skirt cheerleading for the Washington Generals!

Agreed, but that doesn't mean premiums went down. It means they won't rise as much.
Do you not see the difference?
If Obama care kicked off the ten percent of the population that used it the most, they ,too, could lower the premiums.
One thing I have not seen is how many of the fourteen million are veterans, like myself. Although entitled to go to the VA, I chose to use the exchanges, for which I receive a tax credit. Were I to lose it, then it's off to the VA. Do you think that system can handle a couple hundred thousand more participants? I hope not to find out.
I was really hoping the Rep.s would pull a really cool rabbit out of the hat and produce something everyone could swallow but alas they pull this turd out of the punchbowl. Best to let it (and Obamacare) die on it's own, let the dems own it.

I suspect Democrats are happy to own their healthcare plan. After 8 years of bullshit, abstract criticisms and finger pointing Republicans have shown us their alternative not only isn't better - its apocalyptically worse. They don't stop you from seeing your doctor - they stop 20 million people from seeing any doctor.

And nothing that stops the cost inflations they've been crying about.

So we can see one group was serious on this topic and one was not. Republicans cant govern.

Having been a long time NY Republican, I used to think if we could simply contain the minority conservative wing that we would straighten out the ship. Then I saw Paul Ryan go back on everything he has been saying for years by putting out this bill.
We have met the enemy and he is us.
For years, Liberals have argued that a decrease in the amount of an increase is a decrease. Suddenly they want to change these long established scoring rules?

When will Liberals realize the virtues of honesty?

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.


Yes, this is a huge win!

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?


Amberly is still trying to figure out how Obama could add 176,000 jobs, yet end the month with few people holding jobs. When Amberly is honest enough to figure this out, possibly she'll be in a position to accurately judge Hoop's comments.

Indyboilerboy talking about honesty being a virtue is a head scratcher. He's been caught in outright lies more than trumps alternative facts bimbo.
