Trumpcare is DOA in the Senate. The House might pass a version for show, just to placate the wingnut base.
39% approval, dirt? 538 shows 44%. Either way it's hard to comprehend how it's that high. Also hard to imagine it falling below 35% given the alt-right love affair with alternative facts and celebrity.

Crankster, one thing trump has been particularly good at is generating strong opposition early in his presidency.

Please, please pass this thing in the House. We need as many repubs signed up for this thing as possible so they can feel the heat in 2018.
Ryan is already making sure we know that Trump gave his input so he's won't take all the blame.

Best part....these clowns are wrong about everything they froth about
Time and time again.
-Hillary winning
-Russian scandals
-Trump not paying taxes
Now it's back to the ACA and sh#t that hasn't even happened(and won't). The ACA is a bust. It's all on the crooked Dem's that cooked it up.
The clowns would rather eat Maddow sh#t sando's than accept the #FACTS#

This.
Two house committees approved this pre-cbo report. They're forever linked to it, recklessly approving it before knowing what the Cbo would say.

They may not be in vulnerable districts though. We need a whole lot more to own this thing. But, they want to be reelected so I don't think there will even be a vote.

I will tell you again. YOU ASSUME I DON'T HELP THE NEEDY BECAUSE I DON'T WANT THE GOVERNMENT AS A MIDDLE MAN! I WANT TO HELP THEM DIRECTLY!
Well.....if you're still climbing and could use a new chalkbag, I could use the money for gas to get back east more "directly". Yes,it's "that time of year again," where I launch myself cross-country without the funds to reach my destination.
But only, of course, if you actually want it. I do accept charity, but I prefer not to have it with negative energy attached.

Um...i meant what I said. It was irresponsible to approve the bill without estimates of its fiscal impacts and impacts on coverage.
What's your point?
Do you have a better analysis?

Some fool republicans are saying to sit back and let ACA crash, as though that will make us come sucking for whatever sh#t alternative they have to offer.
They don't seem to understand that they now own this whole show.

who let this pud character in?
chris? i thought this demographic employed
folks whom sought challenge.
this chap, "pud" is insubstantial.
i don't know him
but his verbal spew paints
him as a middle-aged white punk
who needs petroleum to
substantiate his manhood.
dumb and weak, lazy though seeking acclaim.
here. i'll speak for him,
"i can't do shite anymore because everything that requires substance is too scary. and difficult. so i'll just sit on my real asse and pretend that i'm crushing unknown horizons. on my motorcycle. and in my big truck. f*#k off, liberals. don't you challenge my right to unearned pride."

jody if you have daughters then
they are ashamed of you.
you are a weak, insubstantial human.
your passage is only a privilege.
if you had to earn your rite via
passage by me i would deflect
your train of thinking.
but your kind is everywhere.
made of nothing, yet loud.
you're an echo of my last valiant course.
shithead.

I believe our own Ken M IS a doctor so maybe he knows for sure
if the bill for Emergency Room care for those without health insurance is absorbed by the hospital that owns that emergency room or is a portion of the fee is sent to the US Government for payment
in which case all of us taxpayers are paying for the "poors'" emergency room visits
now that would really anger a true and pure Conservative, something for nothing oh my
Generally, the hospitals eat it. From time to time, there have been gov't programs that reimburse (partially) for "unreimbursed care", but they come and go, and have not been dependable. Some might consider them to be "corporate welfare".
The patients are still on the hook for the bills, which if they have any resources at all, results in bankruptcy.

I have not seen one GOP'er respond to my repeated concern: Changing the law so that documented, chronically, mentally unstable people are now empowered to own guns and ammunition.
I have mixed feelings about this, and although I am still registered as a Democrat I identify with moderate Republicans. Here is a part of what the ACLU had to say to congress about the Obama regulation:
"the SSA [Social Security Administration] promulgated a final rule that would require the names of all Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefit recipients – who, because of a mental impairment, use a representative payee to help manage their benefits – be submitted to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS), which is used during gun purchases.
We oppose this rule because it advances and reinforces the harmful stereotype that people with mental disabilities, a vast and diverse group of citizens, are violent. There is no data to support a connection between the need for a representative payee to manage one's Social Security disability benefits and a propensity toward gun violence... the rule automatically conflates one disability-related characteristic, that is, difficulty managing money, with the inability to safely possess a firearm."

Ed H's post reminded me, when I was a poor student (I came from a lower middle class family), I worked a number of jobs putting myself through school.
One of the best was working in a Hunt's tomato cannery. Good money.
Hard work. Stacking 50# boxes above my head, sanitation using steam hoses.
But one summer, due to weather, the season closed early, and as the following school year came to a close, I found myself running low on money. I was able to get enough to cover the rent, but that was about it.
I was quite happy to discover that I qualified for Food Stamps, (at least partially), and that was enough to tide me over for a few months.
I've always remembered that, when a hand reached out and helped me. Like Ed, I gladly pay my taxes, and consider it an investment.
