Tom Price and the WH can still do great harm to ACA, per a report I heard on MSNBC.

Some lawsuit that if WH wont defend can defund maybe?

I'm so sick of hearing that. INSURANCE COMPANIES run the health care show. What treatment you get, what it costs, where you have to go to get it, and whether you can get the treatment at all....ALL of that is between the ins. co. and the medical providers.

I noticed that Ryan is plugging a key point of his AHCA is "patients in control." Which is a continuing lie since insurance companies started getting control of our health care system.

I have had good health insurance for years and I have NEVER been in control - the insurance company is.
If they don't cover it, I can't afford it.

In Ryan's case, the people he's screwing won't even afford the cheapest insurance - which gives them no control, as usual.
