This bill did not cut all of the onerous taxes. It just rearranged the deck chairs.
You are missing the point. The point is that if Obamacare can survive until October 1st, 2017, it’s permanent. The senators know this. They don’t care because they have taxpayer-subsidized platinum plans. The suffering of the peasants will only worsen. That’s okay with them. From now on, as with all socialist medicine, they’ll run on lying platforms of trying to make failing healthcare a little less painful.
Cruz et al screwed us. No one should be surprised.
