CBO score for the Senate version of Trumpcare is out, essentially just as "mean" as the House version of Trumpcare.

The Senate bill to repeal the Affordable Care Act would increase the number of people without health insurance by 22 million by 2026, a figure that is only slightly lower than the 23 million more uninsured that the House version would create, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said Monday. 

Next year, 15 million more people would be uninsured compared with current law, the budget office said. 

The legislation would decrease federal deficits by a total of $321 billion over a decade, the budget office said. 

The release of the budget office’s analysis comes as a number of reluctant Republican senators weigh whether to support the health bill, which the majority leader, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, wants approved before a planned recess for the Fourth of July.

This Senate bill covers just one million more Americans than the House bill did, so whoopee.

However that certainly does not mean this thing is not draconian. Check this out:  

Earlier Monday afternoon, Senate Republican leaders altered their health bill to penalize people who go without health insurance by requiring them to wait six months before their coverage would begin. Insurers would generally be required to impose the waiting period on people who lacked coverage for more than about two months in the prior year.

That means that if you suddenly got sick or were diagnosed with a life threatening illness, you would not be able to get insurance coverage for six months.

Plenty of time for a cancer to metastasize.

Just like the House bill this one also repeals the taxes on the wealthy that helped pay for Obamacare, waives essential health care benefit requirements for insurance companies, still allows insurance companies to charge older Americans up to five times as much for coverage,  and eliminates the employer mandate so you cannot rely on getting more affordable insurance through your place of work.

Donald Trump said that the House bill was "mean" and according to Sean Spicer wanted the Senate bill to "have heart."

Well there does not seem to be much heart in this thing, unless the Republicans have an entirely different definition for the word "heart."

Republican Senators are working very hard to get there, with no help from the Democrats. Not easy! Perhaps just let OCare crash & burn!

And it appears that if this thing fails Trump will just walk away from it and focus on damaging the country in some other way.
