Republican Senate Health Care Bill Submitted To CBO. It's Even More Severe Than The House Bill.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

According to Andy Slavitt, via Twitter, the Senate health care Trumpcare bill is even more severe than the House bill. “Mean” per Donald Trump, who’ll sign it into law.

I didn't think it was possible, but Senate Republicans have outdone their radical House colleagues and created a bill that will inflict even more pain on millions of Americans and their families.

All of this done in SECRET and Republicans will spring this on the Senate and the American people at the very last moment. No debate. No input from anyone. Ram it through.

1/6th of our economy is now in peril. Millions of Americans health care now in peril. Skyrocketing premiums for millions. Junk health insurance policies. Disabled, Seniors, Veterans, Opioid addicted, etc., all thrown to the curb, all for a massive tax cut for the wealthy few.

Andy Slavitt ran Medicaid, Medicare and ACA in the Obama administration.
He’s plugged in and has sources on Capitol Hill.

1. If even the Donald says it is "mean" and "a son of a bitch" it must be really deadly!

2. MEAN is what they do

Thanks to those who didn't vote democratic, this is what we get. Thankfully l'm retiring in two weeks. I'm got Medicare so this shouldn't effect me too much. Hopefully the masses will wise up in 2018, but I have my doubts. The GOPricks will have 18 months to blame it all on the dems.

4. AHCA cuts Medicare too

the AHCA would repeal the Medicare payroll surtax on high-income earners, along with virtually all other tax and revenue provisions in the ACA.1 Repealing this surtax would reduce revenue to the Medicare Hospital Insurance (Part A) trust fund by $117 billion between 2017 and 2026, according to the Joint Committee on Taxation. It would also weaken Medicare’s financial status by depleting the Part A trust fund three years sooner than under current law, moving up the projected insolvency date from 2028 to 2025, based on estimates by Medicare’s actuaries2 (Figure 1).

The AHCA’s changes to the ACA’s marketplace coverage provisions and the per capita cap proposal for Medicaid would also increase the number of uninsured, according to the Congressional Budget Office, putting additional strain on the nation’s hospitals to provide uncompensated care. This would increase Medicare “disproportionate share hospital” (DSH) payments as a result, which would increase Medicare Part A spending by $43 billion between 2018 and 2026, according to CBO.

... In addition to the impact on Medicare’s solvency in the short term, repealing the high-income earner payroll surtax would also worsen the program’s long-run financial status. Cutting off this revenue stream would increase the 75-year shortfall in the Part A trust fund from 0.73% of taxable payroll to 1.12%.
