Morphine Prince 109,926 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 The American Hospital Association (AHA) said current provisions for "our most vulnerable" would be thrown into doubt. President Donald Trump met lawmakers on Wednesday to rally them behind the bill, after a stormy 24 hours. Moderate Republicans are concerned people will be stripped of cover, while conservatives sense federal overreach. The bill, called the American Health Care Act, would replace the signature law of President Barack Obama, so-called Obamacare. It would: limit future federal funding for Medicaid, which covers low-income people abolish the requirement that everyone should be insured replace subsidies with tax credits Overall, the plan is expected to cover fewer people than those who gained insurance under the Obama administration's Affordable Care Act, but we will not know the exact numbers - or the cost - for about another week.

DeleteMyAccount 11,881 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Well I hope it sucks and does exactly what all of these organizations are warning us about in terms of costs and cons of this new plan. The only reason this was done was because people hated Obama and Obamacare not because they actually wanted to help people with the new law. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pacify Him 9,073 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Maybe a better plan would be made in the future. Just hope it's not anywhere close to Obama care. Cuz there are the middle class people who struggled with it the most providing healthcare for those undeserving/never worked in their lives/never pay taxes to further the cause I’m getting on your nerves Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that Republicans turned this into a party issue, yet in the 90's even Ginrich was in favor of an individual mandate. At 1:10... He actually explains why Trump's plan will FLOP. "Unless you have 100% coverage, you can't have the right preventative care, and you can't have a rational system...". It seem like the Dems took him at his word and created the ACA which the Repubs trashed just because of Obama.

It's only useful if you have dependent relatives or you're by yourself (only if you get incapacitated for the rest of your life and had a high income to begin with). Otherwise, no.
