Attempted to call my congressman several times today and got a message that the call couldn't be completed and that the lines were inundated so either he turned his phones off or people are calling a lot.

Looks like only one guy from my state is voting Yes. And of course his district is York county.

If this passes in not sure how I'm gonna handle being sour at work today
This literally makes me nauseous. The complete disregard of being decent human beings to one another and the debate of saving lives and all of our health as nothing more than a commodity just burns me to the core. My life and health, the life and health of my family and friends is not a fucking political pawn nor should it ever be. The fact that this is even a debate or discussion just makes me have no hope in humanity.

I'm considering taking whatever presents I can get from them and then burning some fucking bridges to the ground and tell them all off.
Most of them don't know I'm an atheist either so maybe I'll just rip that bandaid off while telling them off.

NYtimes is doing a tracker. About to start I think.

I haven't been following this as closely as I should be... but let me get this straight... these changes apply to the entire health care market, right? This isn't just about plans that are subsidized and bought through the exchange?
Like, when Obamacare banned insurers from discriminating against customers with pre-existing conditions, it applied to everyone in the Nation... and now we're going back against that?
Shouldn't the entire country be upset about this?? This seems like it affects everyone. What if you get sick and lose your job and insurance? No more buying new insurance?
The GOP are trying to rush this bill through before there's enough time for a backlash. There's no CBO report on it, almost none of them even got to read the bill before last night, etc, it's a scam.

from what I understand, you can still get insurance but higher premiums?

Welp, here comes closing arguments. Almost show time. Tonight is going to be lit, regardless of the outcome. I hope everyone protests the shit out of them.
And if they fail again? Another big laughing stock spree.

The optics of having a party at the white house after voting to remove insurance from 25 millions people
Yikes

Of note, there is no requirement to create plans to cover everything that was covered before, even if better/worse ones exist. So in some markets you may end up with nothing but cheaper but crappier plans.
It's all for show. So Trump can gloat about a win from the house.
This still has to go through the senate and it won't be brought to a vote so easily. Congress always goes on recess next week. Expect this to be the topic of hit contention.

In theory, if this new law passes, how long will it take to go into effect?
How long would it be before states stop receiving medicaid funding and people lose their coverage?

Highly likely (for the House).

This doesn't go into effect right away if it passes right? What happens with up to 26 coverage?
based on the disco buses, yes
This still has to go to the Senate. Several weeks of public outrage and a CBO score might doom this there, but who fucking knows. There need to be protests this weekend though

At this point, they are using the same strategy that Trump is using: try as much as the want in the hopes that the public gets tired of it. Mother fuckers that they are.

Don't know, looks like it may squeak by.
Needs to pass in the Senate, any changes there and it goes back to the House.
