According the CBO score instead of inflicting Trumpcare on the American people it might be more humane to simply line the sick up and shoot them.

The above is a chart from Mother Jones.

 And here is a tweet to drive the point home a little more.

CBO estimates that in states requesting AHCA waivers, premiums for low-income elderly enrollees would go up 800 percent. That is not a typo. pic.twitter.com/W7QC4z9UUS

800 percent, well that's enough to give you a preexisting condition right there.

In fact the bill is so bad that it literally brought a Republican Congressman to tears:

Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows (R-N.C.), — who played a pivotal role in including state waiver options in AHCA — hadn't read the full report yet, but initially said he saw it as “good news.” 

When reporters pointed out the portion of the CBO report saying individuals with preexisting conditions in waiver states would be charged higher premiums and could even be priced out of the insurance market — destabilizing markets in those states — under AHCA, Meadows seemed surprised. 

“Well, that’s not what I read,” Meadows said, putting on his reading glasses and peering at the paragraph on the phone of a nearby reporter.

............

After reading the paragraph, Meadows told reporters he would go through the CBO analysis more thoroughly and run the numbers, adding he would work to make sure the high-risk pools are properly funded. 

Meadows, suddenly emotional, choked back tears and said, "Listen, I lost my sister to breast cancer. I lost my dad to lung cancer. If anybody is sensitive to preexisting conditions, it’s me. I’m not going to make a political decision today that affects somebody’s sister or father because I wouldn’t do it to myself.”

I would predict that this bill is dead in the water.

And it might even die a little faster if some of this idiot Republicans would bother to read the damn thing before signing on. 

The AHCA in a nutshell.

It's always about the taxes.

Idaho Congressman claims that "nobody dies because they don't have access to heath care."

Courtesy of Idaho Statesman: 

A statement made by U.S. Rep. Raul Labrador during a town hall meeting Friday morning has drawn criticism by those challenging his stance on health care. 

After a woman suggested that the lack of health care was essentially asking people to die, Labrador had a controversial answer at Lewis-Clark State College in Lewiston. 

“That line is so indefensible,” Labrador said. “Nobody dies because they don’t have access to health care.” 

I have to admit that when I first heard about this statement I thought it might be an exaggeration or the product of "fake news," because NOBODY could be that stupid, right?

Wrong.

In fact, as you can see from this video, the woman who Rep. Labrador is arguing with, and whom he actually calls a liar, is a nurse who has spent fourteen years working in the ER.

It literally makes my head ache to think that there are people in Congress who are this ignorant, and who are making these life and death decisions for the American people.

This guy is simply not smart enough to do his job.

House Republicans finally manage to pass Republican "health care" bill with 217 votes.

House Republicans have passed their ambitious plan to repeal and replace Obamacare, after several fits and starts, sending the measure to the Senate, where it is expected to be significantly revised. 

The bill passed the House in a narrow 217-213 vote. All Democrats opposed the bill. 

Democrats warned that the changes will leave Americans worse off. 

“Make no mistake, many people will die as a result of this bill,” Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., said. 

Republicans, who have been promising to repeal and replace Obamacare for seven years but have struggled to coalesce around a specific legislative proposal, said they planned on keeping their promise to constituents. 

“Our constituents did not elect us to do what is easy. They elected us to do what is right,” Rep. Diane Black, R-Tenn., the chairwoman of the House Budget Committee, said on the floor.

And sadly the Republicans still failed to do what's right.

The New York Times laid out this bill's winners and losers.

Winners:

• High income earners: You know, like the Trump family and friends.
• Upper-middle-class people without pre-existing health conditions: Goes without saying.
• Young, middle-class people without pre-existing health conditions: Yep.
• People who wish to go without insurance: Unless of course they get injured or get a catastrophic illness that is.
• People who want less comprehensive health coverage: Same response as above.
• Large employers: Duh!
  
• Medical device companies, indoor tanning companies and a few other medical industries: Well as long as we are helping those poor indoor tanning companies.
  

The Losers:

• Poor people 
• Older Americans, in most states 
• People with pre-existing health conditions, particularly in some states 
• State governments 
• Hospitals

You know another group of losers are the Republicans who voted for this bill today.

And that's why the Democrats sang a little song for them after the bill passed:

The American Health Care Act just passed the House by the smallest possible margin, barely getting the 217 votes needed to pass. And as the bill passed, House Democrats began singing and waving goodbye to their Republican counterparts. 

“Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye!” they sang as voting finished. 

It was a pretty remarkable act of trolling on the House floor, but one that illustrates just how divisive health care is as a political issue. Democrats are absolutely, positively sure that Thursday's vote will doom their more vulnerable Republican colleagues — and maybe then some.

The Democrats know full well that the chances of this bill getting through the Senate are slim and none, and Slim just left the building. (Sorry, that's one of my Dad's jokes.)

Currently this bill is not only disliked by the majority of the American people, but virtually every health care organization on the planet also opposes it.

Which includes, The American Medical Association, American Nurses Association, American College of Physicians, National Nurses United, National, Physicians Alliance, Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, and the American Academy of Pediatrics.

Like the Democrats said,  “Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye!”
