A centerpiece of the House and Senate Republican budgets is a plan to take away health care from 14.3-20.5 million Americans.

House and Senate Republicans plan to use two steps to take away health care from tens of millions of Americans. Step one is the repeal of the Affordable Care Act. Step two is the conversion of Medicaid funding into a block grant.

The House budget has been analyzed in greater detail, but Senate Republicans have confirmed that their budget will contain similar language.

The Center For Budget and Policy Priorities laid out the impact of this double fisted gut punch to the American people:

1. It will get vetoed, however, we will get to see how stupid the American

populace is in 2016, whether this stand a chance

2. It is scary to think that

it may be up to only one man (in the WH) to may stop this (for a while)

7. yes it is

4. I hope someone is making a list

Democrats need to keep track of all the "insane" bills republicans are trying to pass from now till the election in 2016. They need to use that list to remind the public just how dangerous republicans really are, and how much damage the average person will see happen in their lives if those idiots get control of the WH, and keep control of congress. Non stop TV spots reminding the public day in and day out. Every candidate should bring it up and make it the number one talking points with the republican challenger.

Just my thought here.

3. I really hope all those GOP voters who have family in nursing homes realize

that they're going to have to cough up $3600-5000 a month to care for granny.

6. Its a helluva' lot more than that. Try $6,000 a month or more. (nm)

5. If this ever passed, how long would it take all the Republican state legislatures

to enact some targeted bill that allows them to appropriate block grant funds for their own agenda? Why use Medicaid funding to aid the poor when it could be used to prop up all those lost revenue state budgets, or as giveaways to enrich the GOP donor class, maybe do a little office decorating... Downton Abbey style.
