They are talking about people over 50 but younger than 65. If those numbers are correct it’s absurd to think someone making 26K is going to be able to spend over half of that (before taxes) on medical insurance. Just don’t get sick until you turn 65 I guess.

I’m losing confidence in Trump AND Pence over this very quickly. I heard Pence this afternoon on both Hannity and Levin. I admit to only catching part of it as I was in and out of the tractor but from what I heard even Pence can’t believe what he is saying.

From what I can see this is turning in to a nine line free fall cluster flop.

Yes, they are making this way to complex and they are doing it on purpose.

The thorniest issue is how to manage pre-existing conditions and still allow people free choice to not participate in the insurnace pool.

2100 already! I just got in and had dinner! I’m not liking this time change business any more than I ever did. We can’t even do something logical like stopping this nonsense so how can we ever expect something that is difficult to ever be done correctly? This country is as disfunctional as ever.

older people often have assets. The healthcare/government/insurance complex is going to liquefy those assets and feed their maw.

It also helps keep the next generation poorer.
