This thing will increase 20% every year? Am I reading this right?

Wait so they're saying it'll go up 20% in cost each year over what's happening now? As in it'll be 44% more expensive in two years and so on
Let these fucking idiots pass this.
It's a death sentence for the party.

Please no. No cost to the GOP is worth the number of people getting fucked over if this passes. Tons of people in this thread included.

No it's not. Too many idiots in the country with a propaganda network in Fox News and talk radio fueling their idiocy.

I'm assuming that's a mistake, there's no way we're looking at 100+% increases in premiums by year 5.

Half the country are so cultish toward the GOP that they'll be in office for years to come.

Just like no way trump was going to win office.

I know, and it's a shit bill.
But it's probably going to pass.
So we can at least take solace in the fact that it's terrible and helpful to no one.
The Republican base isn't enough to keep the party in power.No it's not. Too many idiots in the country with a propaganda network in Fox News and talk radio fueling their idiocy.

Say you pay 100$ a month, after 8 years of this law, you will be paying approx 515$ a month.
Edit: you'll go from paying 1,200$ a year to approx 6,100$ a year for insurance at year 8.
So wait 43m people will now be uninsured? The fuck! Republicans are subhumans. Both sides my ass.
43 million as compared to the ACA over a period of like ten years. It's a little better than it initially seems. What makes it worse is 15 million next year alone. Jesus fuck.

Is there a live stream of the senate floor somewhere I can watch this bullshit?

Why not? They're talking about making insurers cover preexisting conditions and all the other ACA provisions with no mandate. The mandate is what makes that shit work.

Get rid of the mandate, and healthy/young people don't buy insurance - Welcome to the increase/high risk pool.

How did the CBO score this so quickly? Were people working overtime to make sure this got out before it was put to a vote?
You can probably read the bill faster than this thread from start to finish

Lol this republican fuck on CNN "people are getting priced out of the market on the affordable care actress. So clearly the solution is to make it so premiums even more expensive"

It's almost as if maybe this bill is a stupid fucking idea.
In addition to the coverage for millions lost, I'm wondering how many rural hospitals will close, how many waves of healthcare layoffs we'll see, how this will ripple through the economy, etc.
I knew we were heading towards truly dark times on that night in November, but it's still horrifying to behold.

No it's not.
Fox News will blame it all on Democrats and their brainwashed base will slurp it up.

I did, in fact. It takes like 5 minutes. Not even kidding. This shit was probably written in an hour.

They only need idiots in a few small states that went Trump.The Republican base isn't enough to keep the party in power.

Same thing was said about Bush getting us in a war and an economic collapse, but 8 years later here we are.

Dude is up there killing 30 minutes so that nobody on the floor can discuss the bill.
Also here is the one from senate site im using. http://floor.senate.gov/MediaPlayer.php?view_id=2&event_id=1375

It was! It was written over lunch today.

It would collapse the industry.
That can't happen.
If (when) it passes tonight, it goes to the house, so continue the fight there. If it passes in general? Donate to whoever is going to take this shit to court, because it absolutely will be.So if this passes...what is our next plan of action? Besides reminding ourselves about how fucked we are?

It's happening right now.

Take it to court? That doesn't make sense. If it passes it is the law, you can't take the law to court.

I mean it'll have to pass the house is well, and the senate republicans seem confident it won't because they don't actually want the BILL THEY ARE VOTING ON TO PASSSo if this passes...what is our next plan of action? Besides reminding ourselves about how fucked we are?
But if it does pass both houses we make sure they own up to this dumpster fire of bill they passed
