Graham-Cassidy might actually have been worse than ObamaCare.

When you block grant Medicaid, you encourage blue states to set up Single Payer. When we allowed Romney to implement RomneyCare, it became the template for national ObamaCare. Libs didn't like the cost shift, but they loved the block granting - would have given them the power to set up national Single Payer.

I wonder what the state government in California would have done to me under Graham Cassidy. I probably would be standing in line behind millions of illegal aliens.

Then why are 48 other Repugnants voting for it?

At least now homobamacare will go down in the death spiral that was already occurring.

Good let them, and it will work as well as the Pensions in NJ, CT, CA, IL, and all of their other workers paradises. This would work as long as they get "X" as their block grant and don't dare come and ask for more when it implodes because you ain't getting it.

While the "R" states combine HSA's w/ Direct Primary Care ( look up what Avik Roy has to say about it ) and steal even more jobs and industries from the failing single payer Blue States, the free market solution will become more evident.

So what? I don't give a damn about Blue States. Let them screw themselves over. Better this monstrosity coming under state control than remaining with the Feds.
