Davidson writes: "There had been intimations, from President Trump, among others, that it would fix some of the destructiveness of the House bill, which the Congressional Budget Office estimated would cause twenty-three million Americans to lose their insurance coverage. But it turns out that the Senate bill is just as miserable."

RSN: Scott Galindez | Trumpcare Is Immoral and Unsustainable


Dear Trumpers: Please think about it! 

The entries preceding the RSN article below are my own. 

Every other Industrialized Nation provide UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE. 

The US does not do so because of Republicans. 


This is the Federal Budget....very simple! Do you see where your tax dollars are going?
Do you think Americans need to continue to fund the Military Industrial Complex to build American Empire at your expense? 












When MILLIONS of Americans lacked health care, Republicans sat on their hands..... 






The Federal Budget defines the GOP MORAL BANKRUPTCY when more taxpayer dollars are spent to build American Empire than to care for Americans.

he long awaited CBO score is here for the healthcare plan that passed the House last month. It might on the surface seem slightly better than the original plan that failed a couple of weeks before it. A closer look will reveal that it is worse, much worse. It covers a few more people than the failed bill, but it gives everyone less coverage.

I have an idea. Let’s set up a single payer system for everyone who wants it and let everyone else opt out and pay for their healthcare out of pocket. After all, the opposition to Obamacare is from those who believe they shouldn’t be forced to have coverage. Individual responsibility should mean they don’t get a free ride in the emergency room. If they don’t believe in shared responsibility, let’s let them go out on their own. Just don’t come crying to us when you get sick.

I know, I’m not cruel enough to support that. It’s what the greedy “individual responsibility” Republicans are asking for, though. They don’t want to help take care of their neighbors, but we will take care of them anyway.
The GOP is right about one thing. Our current private insurance system is not sustainable. Healthcare should not be a private industry controlled by the markets.
The provider has too high a bargaining chip ... your life. The consumer has no choice. Get the treatment or die — that is an unfair advantage. That’s why the government needs to step in and set the prices. Private insurance companies make the situation worse, since they want to make a profit. Your health is not their priority. The fewer treatments you receive, the better for them.
If the Democrats are smart, they will ride healthcare reform to electoral success. Perhaps it will be on a state-by-state basis. Single payer healthcare has strong support in New York State. If it were to succeed in states like New York and California, then it would be hard to tell people in Peoria why single payer is too good for them.
In the past, the insurance and pharmaceutical industries have blocked other attempts for states to provide single payer. In Colorado, Anthem Healthcare spent a million dollars to defeat a voter initiative for single payer. The healthcare industry outspent supporters by more than a 4-to-1 margin.
The only people the current system is good for are the insurers and the pharmaceutical industry. Well, and I guess the providers can profit at higher rates but, due to the bureaucracy associated with billing in this system, much of that profit is swallowed up by overhead. The providers that are in the healthcare industry to help people also have to face knowing that because of insurers denying treatments, people are dying unnecessarily.
It would be even worse under Trumpcare. One feature of Obamacare is a set of minimum standards that must be a part of every plan. The argument conservatives make is that those rules mean people are paying for stuff they don’t need, like prenatal care for a man. That argument is absurd. Just because a plan covers dialysis, if needed, doesn’t mean you will have to pay for dialysis.
They argue that more people will be covered by plans that they hope will cost less, because they will cover less. Removing things like prenatal care and ambulance service from a policy a young, healthy man purchases saves nothing for the insurance company. It will only save them money if they don’t have to pay for prenatal care for women or ambulance service for the elderly.
Obamacare was only a step in the right direction. Trumpcare is nothing more than a tax break for the wealthy and lowering of costs for insurance companies. They can cover less and still charge whatever they want. How is this a good thing for most Americans?
The only solution is single payer. Everyone would have coverage for everything, with prices negotiated by the government. It works all over the world and is cheaper than the unsustainable, immoral system that we have now.

The Trump administration just imposed a massive tax increase. You may have missed it.





"This week the Trump administration managed to impose a massive tax increase on middle-income families beginning in 2018. You could be excused for missing this story if you were focusing instead on President Trump’s draconian budget or Republican efforts to take away health care from tens of millions of people. But, indeed, on Monday, the Trump Health Care Tax was born."

Vermont’s U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy: Trumpcare fails every test






The Congressional Budget Office just released their report on the House-passed Trumpcare bill, and it confirms how egregious and damaging this legislation would be for the American people.
Over ten years, Trumpcare would take away insurance coverage from 23 million people. For Americans lucky enough to stay insured, Trumpcare would pile on thousands of dollars of out-of-pocket charges for individuals and families who need maternity care, opioid addiction treatment, and mental health services in states that use waivers. Millions with pre-existing conditions will lose coverage.
From the bumbled beginning through every horrifying twist and turn, Trumpcare has never been about expanding access to care: It is a massive tax cut for the rich, disguised as a health plan.
Trumpcare fails every test -- it should never be foisted on the American people.
Thank you for taking action today.
Sincerely,
Patrick Leahy

The GOP Takes Women's Health Hypocrisy to a New Level 
Bridgette Dunlap, Rolling Stone 
Dunlap writes: "The American Health Care Act, which passed in the House last week, is a cornucopia of Republican hypocrisies. Republicans claimed the problem with Obamacare was that premiums were too high and government subsidies to purchase insurance too low, but their replacement would allow insurers to charge older and sicker people higher premiums, while providing substantially less financial assistance to pay them."

he American Health Care Act, which passed in the House last week, is a cornucopia of Republican hypocrisies. Republicans claimed the problem with Obamacare was that premiums were too high and government subsidies to purchase insurance too low, but their replacement would allow insurers to charge older and sicker people higher premiums, while providing substantially less financial assistance to pay them. Republicans have been whining for years that Obamacare's passage was rushed (though it was debated for seven months), but they passed their slapped-together bill without holding a single hearing, just weeks after introducing it. And after howling that the Obamacare process lacked transparency, House Republicans not only voted on Trumpcare without waiting for a CBO score estimating what it will cost and how many people will lose insurance – they voted without even making the full text of the bill public.
But nothing illustrates the Trumpcare Republicans' willingness to abandon the principles they claim to hold so dear quite like what the bill does to women's health care. Let's set aside the fact that the party whose official platform advocates making abortion a crime just voted to allow insurers not to cover maternity care and to allow states to give fewer pregnant women and children Medicaid. Republican advocacy for policies preventing women from ending pregnancies but against policies protecting the health and economic stability of women who wish to bring their pregnancies to term may be the height of hypocrisy – but it's old news.
There is a less obvious truth about Republican values exposed by the Trumpcare provisions concerning women's health care: Their commitment to free markets and federalism is a farce.
Obamacare upended the status quo of insurers assuming the male body to be the default, and treating normal health care for women as something exotic to be had at extra charge. Obamacare forbids charging women higher premiums than men, and mandates that certain essential services be covered.
But anti-Obamacare Republicans reject the idea that individuals should have to pay into a system that covers services they may not ever need – that is, they reject the basic premise of insurance – or much of any role for government in making sure citizens have health care. Instead, they favor the idea that we should let insurers competing in the markets decide what services are covered, or at least let states rather than the federal government determine what the coverage requirements are.
So Trumpcare allows states to seek waivers to free insurers from various Obamacare requirements, including those mandating coverage for essential health services. The criteria for qualifying for a waiver are quite loose, so we can expect Trump's HHS Secretary Tom Price to give one to every state that asks, regardless of whether they take any meaningful steps to offset the harm to patients. That means women in red states who don't have employer plans that are more comprehensive than required or qualify for Medicaid will have to either anticipate getting pregnant and pay higher premiums, or pay many thousands of dollars out of pocket. The message from Republicans is that they must stop federal regulation to protect women's health in order to vindicate the sacred federalist principle of state control and the free-market notion that if consumers want quality products, they can pay more for them.
But within the very same bill, Republicans demonstrate what fair-weather freemarketers and federalists they are. Despite their opposition to regulations protecting health services for women, they are happy to interfere in order to stop states from requiring insurers to cover abortion and to keep insurers from covering it voluntarily.
Trumpcare would replace the Obamacare subsidies that moderate-income purchasers of individual health plans currently receive with much smaller tax credits of $2,000 to $4,000. Those already meager tax credits would not be available to anyone whose health plan covers abortion, which, for instance, includes everyone in the states of New York and California.
GOP Rep. Dan Donovan raised this issue before last week's House vote, explaining he couldn't support a bill that denied everyone in his state tax credits. But his fellow House Republicans blew him off. As a spokeswoman for the House Ways and Means Committee put it, "it will be incumbent on states to adapt as federal law changes." In other words, Republicans want to force states to change their laws in order to prevent women from being able to afford abortion services.
That strategy requires a complete reversal of the "states' rights" argument Republicans used to get a portion of Obamacare struck down by the Supreme Court. Obamacare opponents argued that Obamacare's Medicaid expansion, which originally required states to expand their Medicaid programs with federal funds or lose all Medicaid funding, was unconstitutionally coercive. That argument was a bit of a stretch at the time, because the Court had generally allowed the federal government to put conditions on the funding it provides to states. But the Obamacare opponents won, strengthening the legal precedent that prevents the federal government from commandeering the states to implement its policies.
That anti-Obamacare ruling is the basis of a recent court decision blocking Trump's anti-sanctuary city executive order, and would also likely underpin any decision striking down the provision of Trumpcare depriving individuals with abortion coverage of tax credits. California's health insurance commissioner, who is running for attorney general, has said he would sue if the de facto abortion coverage ban went into effect – and because courts aren't anywhere as quick as Republicans to abandon principles they have recently upheld, California would likely win.
Republicans' willingness to meddle with markets and state laws to prevent women from accessing reproductive health care is part of a larger pattern. Anti-regulation zealots like Sens. Ted Cruz and Mike Lee are all in favor of regulating abortion clinics out of existence. Purported supporters of patient choice voted to bar Medicaid patients from receiving any kind of health care at Planned Parenthood. And numerous red states already prohibit private insurers from covering abortion.
The bottom line from Republicans is this: They won't regulate to guarantee women access to health care, but they're happy to use regulation as a weapon to deprive them of care that states or free markets would otherwise provide.

Republican Lawmaker Key to Health Bill's Passage Lambasted at Town Hall

Constituents heckle and boo Tom MacArthur, calling him a ‘killer’ as 500 people gather for New Jersey event: ‘I don’t think I’ll vote for him again’
om MacArthur, the New Jersey congressman who has been celebrated in conservative circles for helping pass the Republican healthcare bill, came back down to earth with a bang on Wednesday night when he was booed, heckled and generally chastised during a nearly five-hour town hall meeting.
In Willingboro, hundreds showed up to lambast MacArthur, most fuelled by their congressman’s intervention to revive the ailing American Health Care Act (AHCA).
MacArthur was branded a “weasel”, a “killer” and an “idiot” by constituents angry at his amendment to the bill, which would allow states to opt out of rules that protect individuals with pre-existing conditions from being charged more for healthcare coverage. This stipulation proved enough to satisfy the hard-right Freedom Caucus and the bill – which would probably see millions of Americans lose their healthcare coverage – passed the House on 4 May.
The majority of Republicans who voted for the bill are not holding public events this week, despite being on recess. Those who have dared face voters have been pilloried. Aware of this, MacArthur kicked off his town hall at 6.30pm with a promise to respond to every single question, for “as long as it goes”. He was still being quizzed by angry residents at 11.20pm.
More than 500 people had gathered outside the Kennedy Center in Willingboro, just across the Delaware river from Philadelphia. It was a lively and loud scene, a number of voters chanting, waving signs and generally causing a ruckus.
“Our health matters more than Tom’s net worth,” one banner read. A sign showed a picture of MacArthur with “I took your healthcare” written on his forehead. Another described MacArthur, a former insurance executive who was elected in 2014, as “MacWeasel”.
Claudia Storicks, a former nurse who has been on disability for the past two years, had travelled from Pemberton, New Jersey. She has diabetes and charcot foot – a weakening of the bones caused by nerve damage – and was using an electric scooter. She is insured under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), the Obama administration legislation the AHCA seeks to replace.
“It was the only insurance that I could afford,” she said. “I’ve been able to afford my medication and my doctor’s visits because I’m on the ACA. Otherwise I probably would have lost my house and my foot.”
Storicks voted for MacArthur in 2016 – “he’s a businessman and I thought he had a good sense about taxes,” she said – but now described herself as “very angry” at the prospect of the ACA being repealed.
“That would mean that my diabetes would get out of control, my foot would probably get worse, and I’d probably end up in hospital and losing my house.”
Medford, New Jersey, resident Jay Wilder, 72, was first in line. He arrived six hours early. “I’m really worried about pre-existing conditions because I dealt with it when I was going from my job before I had Medicare,” he said.
Wilder had had a heart attack and said he couldn’t afford healthcare. “I just lived without healthcare, hoping that nothing would happen. It was very difficult because when you’re 64 years old you start having health issues.”
The anger outside the venue set the tone for the event itself. MacArthur walked out to Coldplay’s A Sky Full of Stars, and to a similarly tepid round of applause from the 250 people who had made it inside. The congressman smiled and offered his hand to a man wearing a green shirt, sitting in the front row. The man kept his arms folded and thrust his head away.
The four hours and 50 minutes that followed were no less hostile. MacArthur had asked constituents not to boo him but that proved to be in vain. People repeatedly told him he had “blood” on his hands.
A man who had received a kidney transplant feared what would happen to people like him under the AHCA. A resident whose wife had recovered from breast cancer was concerned that she would “always have a pre-existing condition” and did not want that to determine which state she lived in.
A woman had brought her two young children, one of whom had learning difficulties, and objected to them potentially being placed in a “high-risk pool” – an aspect of MacArthur’s amendment designed to assist people with pre-existing conditions, but which could lead to higher health insurance costs.
MacArthur’s responses – that only 7% of Americans were in the individual market, that people would not lose their insurance (the Congressional Budget Office, in its assessment of an earlier version of the bill,said 24 million would probably do so), and that “there are loads of other people who don’t agree with you” – did not placate the crowd.
Nor did his response to repeated chants calling for single-payer healthcare.
“Government bureaucrats can be very dangerous when they have power” to make decisions on people’s health, MacArthur said, prompting one woman to tell the congressman she would prefer that scenario than “someone in an office” of an insurance company making the same decisions.


‘Something was awoke in me’


Just 14 of the 217 Republicans who voted in favor of the AHCA are holding public events this week. Those who have ventured out have not been warmly received.
On Monday, Rod Blum of Iowa walked out of an interview with a local television station and was then roundly booed at an event in Dubuque. On Tuesday, David Brat, a congressman from Virginia, was jeered and booed at a town hall in Midlothian, near Richmond.
Constituents waved red signs that said “shame” and “nope”, a gesture suggested by the progressive Indivisible organization, which aims to use Tea Party-esque, assertive tactics to oust Republicans in the 2018 midterm elections. Charlene Thompson, a Brat constituent, said she cried when the House approved the AHCA.
“Something was awoke in me,” she said. “I just gave birth last summer. I fought long and hard to have that guy and to think that I would be considered a pre-existing is just awful.”
In New Jersey on Wednesday, people began to quietly leave the MacArthur town hall at about 9.30pm. But at least 25 stayed until the bitter end. Storicks, who sat patiently in her scooter for hours, was one of the last people to speak.
She told the congressman about how she relied on the ACA for medication related to her illnesses. Storicks said she would suffer under the Republican plan “because I was born with bad genes”.
MacArthur stuck to the answer he had given all night: that high-risk pools would actually protect people like Storicks, and that people would not have to pay more due to a pre-existing condition – claims which are heavily disputed by health experts.
Storicks was not convinced.
“I get he’s an insurance man and he’s coming at this from an insurance and business perspective and it’s all about profits and minimizing costs,” she said, “but I’m frustrated because I don’t think he’s really of a mind to change his opinions.
“But next year the public will have a chance to speak. And I don’t think I’m going to vote for him again.”
