Trump's new 'Death to Poor Sick People Act'

This new "Nohealthcare" bill, the DTPSPA is way worse than the previous one, which means that the Vicious Right will no doubt support it strongly.

By making health insurance inaccessible to all but the upper middle class and beyond, poor people and people with any sort of pre-existing condition at all, from high cholesterol levels to toenail fungus will be priced right out of the marketplace. And, since there is no mandate, we'll be returning to the pre-ACA days, essentially.

We all need to do whatever we can to prevent this bill from ever reaching Trump's desk.

They are off on the next still born tax plan.
It's all fictional.

the House and sent on to the Senate very quickly. A casual observation may not be adequate, I'm thinking.

To go the other way, the Muslim ban, lock her up.... My guess is that there will be no wall and there will be no repeal and replace, and no tax "reform". Instead there will be a recession and lots of unhappy dump supporters.

.....to the people at their town halls. will also vote against this.

What those reps will be terrified of is....

a) If they vote down Trump 2, they'll be primaried by a Tea Party / Freedom Caucus type, or....
b) If they vote for Trump 2, they'll face opposition from a Democratic opponent, and being in a safe, gerrymandered district might not be enough to save their miserable asses.
