you do not do a commercial without explaining what it is. This is the only commercial I have ever seen that does not tell you what it is advertising.

Just as Richard Nixon had a plan in 1968 to end the war in Vietnam.

His plan was to pretend he was ending it so he could win re-election in 1972. Worked for him.

...lower the cost, preserve the coverage of those with preexisting conditions, etc, etc.

I think they also have some very nice bridges available at really great, fire sale prices.

I absolutely detest these fucking scumbags.

https://www.cbo.gov/sites/default/files/114th-congress-2015-2016/reports/50252-Effects_of_ACA_Repeal.pdf

The new Republican rule implicitly instructs the CBO not to say how much it will cost taxpayers to repeal Obamacare, because it is frightening.


http://www.politicususa.com/2017/01/11/gop-prohibits-cbo-reporting-aca-repeal-blows-deficit.html


Not that anyone cared at the time, that important CBO task was diminished last year when House Speaker Paul Ryan changed the CBO’s rules forcing them to use a “trickle down” accounting scam to conceal the outrageous cost to taxpayers of tax cuts for the rich and corporations about to be implemented. This latest “change” seriously neuters the CBO and prohibits them from even examining, much less reporting to taxpayers, the very significant cost the taxpayers will bear for repealing the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare).

that would happen when you took the new health plan? Side effects include lack of coverage, which in some cases will lead to loss of life.

don't even have a big book to look into the details. Maybe they do not know the ACA was based on the Heritage Foundation plan of which is a republican group and Romney care. I want to see some details and how they are going to pay for this. I think it will be about the same as we have now but then we can call it Trumpcare.
