Anyone paying attention to these Vault7 WikiLeaks? Mostly seem to be talking about backdoor exploits being kept in place by behest of the US government.

Analysis of republicare by chief actuary on covered california.
We’re presenting an analysis here of the net financial impact of the Republican bill on premiums, after tax credits, plus cost-sharing. We estimate that the bill would increase costs for the average enrollee by $1,542, for the year, if the bill were in effect today. In 2020, the bill would increase costs for the average enrollee by $2,409.
We provide the figure for 2020 because that’s when the Republican tax credits would go into effect; we provide a figure for this year so that readers can get a sense of how the plan might affect their situation were it implemented today. Importantly, the gap between costs under the ACA and under the Republican bill would grow over time.
In general, the impact of the Republican bill would be particularly severe for older individuals, ages 55 to 64. Their costs would increase by $5,269 if the bill went into effect today and by $6,971 in 2020. Individuals with income below 250 percent of the federal poverty line would see their costs increase by $2,945 today and by $4,061 in 2020.

gotta give the dems credit--they are getting much better at this whole obstruction thing, and by obstruction I basically mean trolling, but they seem to be getting more comfortable with their role at the moment which bodes well for the future
They just need to avoid falling into the trap the Republicans find themselves in with Obamacare. Which is saying whatever works in the short-term, including being a bit loose with the truth, but then backs you into a corner when you get into power and disillusions followers who were sold unrealistic expectations.
That's literally the entire point of an insurance risk pool.
I can't believe Trump is using any political capital in this POS bill. DY please tell me you don't want Dems to help this thing pass do you?

By blackace Go To PostIf Joseph P. Kennedy III ran in 2020 would you vote for him?
Yes...... arguably he is one of those rare "scandal free" Kennedy's so I could see him being good at his job
Support Blue Dogs, brehs.
Also, I know nothing about Joe Kennedy III, so I can't answer that question.
The Justice Department announced Friday that Attorney General Jeff Sessions has asked all 46 remaining Obama administration U.S. attorneys to resign.https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/justice-department-tells-all-remaining-obama-administration-us-attorneys-to-resign/2017/03/10/110e3d8c-05ce-11e7-b9fa-ed727b644a0b_story.html
“As was the case in prior transitions, many of the United States attorneys nominated by the previous administration already have left the Department of Justice,” said Justice Department spokeswoman Sarah Isgur Flores in a statement. “The Attorney General has now asked the remaining 46 presidentially appointed U.S. Attorneys to tender their resignations in order to ensure a uniform transition. “

Flores noted that action is not unusual. The Clinton administration, for instance, had taken a similar step at the start of its presidency. Sessions himself was asked to resign as the U.S. attorney in Alabama in March, 1993 by Clinton’s Attorney General Janet Reno.
YAWN

Wait a minute..... now it makes sense.
Jesus the levels of scumbaggery being reached is almost limitless at this point
This whole Flynn thing is blowing up in ways beyond just the shit he resigned over. Flynn and his lawyers told Trump they wanted to register as a foreign agent to Turkey during the transition, and Trump's team didn't see that as a concern and still nominated him.
WASHINGTON — The House Republican plan to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act would raise the number of people without health insurance by 24 million within a decade, but would trim $337 billion from the federal deficit over that time, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said on Monday.https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/13/us/politics/affordable-care-act-health-congressional-budget-office.html
Republicans had been bracing for what was almost certain to be a bleak accounting of the legislation’s projected effects. The American Health Care Act, as Republicans call their bill, was already facing widespread criticism from providers of health care, some conservatives, and a united Democratic Party. The numbers released Monday will make only it more difficult for Republicans to explain why their legislation would bring positive change to the country’s health care system.
Ryan doubled down saying the CBO report proved the AHCA would benefit Americans lol.
Please pass this shit please ...

The ends justifies the means part of me is suggesting we get the blue dogs to vote for this and just primary them but..

He is right though, this bill will definitely benefit Americans*.
*You just need to be making over $250,000 a year. Double the benefit if you get that income primarily from investments.
By Dark PhaZe Go To PostThe ends justifies the means part of me is suggesting we get the blue dogs to vote for this and just primary them but..The catch to this is that the CBO and Standard and Poors estimate that long-term, this will somewhat be a net benefit for insurers.
Healthcare reform has failed over and over again for nearly 100 years, primarily because of the ever increasing power of the lobbies that don't want their interests harmed. And the power their propaganda has to put fear of change in the hearts of the masses.
I fear there is a real chance that in 2020, undoing the harm may meet even more resistance then the ACA got because insurers will know now what benefits them more or less and fight accordingly. And part of why the ACA was able to be passed was because insurers at the time largely saw the bill as a net benefit for them. Plus I think the bill crashing and burning still anchors healthcare to the GOP. Because they have little excuse for why they are failing to get the bill right and they are losing credibility by the day.

Tank logic doesn't apply too great to politics.
Fascinated to see neither Ryan nor Trump deliver anything morally defensible or economically serious.
I suppose it's a countdown to more saboteur rhetoric, innit. Blow up some folks in congress ? Blood eagle Ryan ?

If it weren't for the fact that millions would lose their healthcare I'd root for this bill to pass too.

I'm more receptive than I thought I'd be to the idea that Trump's goons put it out.
It seems preposterous in 2017 to say that we will never see this or that piece of politically incendiary data. Because data can't currently abide stasis. It MUST circulate. But boy I dunno.
