"The legislation called the Better Care Reconciliation Act of 2017 would roll back much of the Affordable Care Act, the healthcare law better known as Obamacare, including various tax provisions, and scale back funding that goes toward health coverage for low-income Americans and tax credits for middle-income earners who purchase their own health insurance.
The plan would also provide funding designed to help stabilize the Obamacare insurance markets in the near term and funnel money through programs to cut off access to funding for abortion providers."
This is a terrible bill...

(68,539 posts)even though it throws all the old people out of nursing homes and ends the medicaid expansion in time...trying to cover their fanny. Dems should run on creating a super majority to save health care. It cut care and increases premiums...terrible bill.

(1,462 posts)Republican politicians are pushing for health care aka NOCARE that will punish and kill their voters. The R voters are blissfully ignorant that they are being targeted for destruction, and will continue to support their R "masters." In the end, dumb R politicians will have fewer voters and the dumb R voters will be turned into fertilizer.

I detest those morons, but revel in the fact that sickness and death will come to each and every one of them.
