Howard Dean, A.M. Joe: "The new aha is a theft from medicare seniors and a gift to C.E.O.'s.

The tax on the insurance executives is removed, and so are 15 million rural meidcare seniors.

So it's robbing the poor to feed the CEO's.

Like we wouldn't figure that out.

1. Medicare? I thought the proposed law dumped on Medicaid recipients,

With a loss of coverage for about 15 million people over the next few years.

2. it brings back the Part D prescription drug 'donut hole' for one thing.

5. Yuck. That's horrible for seniors. NT

[Cosmocat]

6. Wait - what?

They created it, we fixed it and now they are breaking it again?

[VMA131Marine]

11. This was one of the things that ACA fixed.

This new plan breaks it again.

9. Medicare does not kick in until a person turns 65.

So seniors (55-64) that are phi ally unable to work due age infirmities or who can't find a job that has healthcare or pays enough for them to buy health insurance need Medicaid.

3. So much for "keeping what works."

Looks like the GOP goal is to gut the best parts of the ACA.

4. Dean et al: Don't use AHA as a tag for any program that robs the poor. Framing issues is important!

[TNNurse]

7. Such a false name for this plan.

I decided to get my knee replaced early this year before they decided to screw with Medicare. Glad that is behind me. Got a hospital bill last week (not surgeon, not anesthesiologist). $51,000 and some change,my part $550 + the $275 I paid upfront. I can handle that and will pay more I am sure.

By the way, Trump/Ryan Care is the real name. Two people who really have no clue about the situation of actual normal Americans.

8. It's pretty easy to see who the real terrorists are at this point.

Hint: it ain't Isis.

10. The penalty alone is a shift from the Treasury to the insurance CEOs' pockets

[HughBeaumont]

12. "A-HA! You ARE being screwn!"

[FakeNoose]

13. If the GOP Senators and Congressmen vote this in ...

They can never go home again.

Their own constituents will hate them all and be waiting for them with pitchforks.
Even the GOP is smart enough to see that.
