I suspect this is another case of bad-faith mass reporting and will get reversed.

We could make this real fucking simple. Call it Medicare for All. Single-payer. Whatever. Insurance cos as government contractors or eliminate the sector entirely and pay direct to providers. I don’t give a shit. But access to healthcare is a basic human right and we should start acting like it.

And pre-tax savings plans don’t do shit when insurance cos continue raising premiums to ever more unaffordable levels of bat shittery.

Dismantling ACA isn’t about punishing insurance cos. The subsidies Dems were haggling for are tax credits. That’s our money. Not theirs. They’re talking about health savings as pre-tax dollars like your 401k. This is deregulation. Letting insurance cos resume denying coverage and selling junk plans.

They’re not concerned with affordability. The whole reason the ACA exists is to get insurance to people who were otherwise denied coverage for preexisting conditions or shunted into terrible, high-cost plans with poor coverage. It was to ensure access to preventive care to reduce catastrophic need.

I bet if we looked hard enough we could find a Single Combat clause in the Constitution. Most of them are like 100 years old. We could take ‘em.

Nothing makes trump worth it

These are rhetorical questions. The answer doesn’t matter.

It just makes it look like they said, oh, shit, I had to scrap my weekend at the lake house because my flight was canceled. Or worse, the airlines called and I sold out my constituents at the order of the Delta CEO. I’m no Senate whisperer but when people look at the math it isn’t great.
