The interesting part is not the exact Senate vote but what the Conference Committee will do to reconcile the House and Senate versions of this bill. I would love to see a runaway committee take the bill to a completely different destination in conference.

Where can you find which 20 voted no. It’s a good way to tell if it’s a good bill or a bad bill.

20 Republicans currently serving their LAST terms.

There are *STILL* enough democrats posing as republicans to continue the "you have to pass the bill in order to read the bill" bullsh*t. We just can't seem to primary them fast enough. The day will come when we'll be looking forward to civil war just to clean ranks at government levels. It's a "Tale of Two Cities" coming soon to a democratic republic near you.

It’s a repeal. Yes, there is a difference between a tax incentive and a mandate.

In Arizona we have tax incentives for solar. I have a mandate to pay my state taxes.

Before I jump with accolades I suppose I better read it first to see who got in the ass. I suppose it will be those who have insurance and are happy with it. Seniors will lose, taxpayers pay again and free loaders make out like a bandit.
Another you must pass it before you can read it.
of course maybe all you read it?

OK, FReepers — it’s SHOWTIME!

Get on the horn to McConnell’s office and let them know in no uncertain terms that this bill needs to get to Trump’s desk UNMOLESTED. We’ve gotta let them know what we want. God knows the other side is certainly lighting up the lines to say what they DON’T want.

MAKE IT HAPPEN!!

This is the end of Trump

This is the end of the Republican party. Sad day for America. One of many recently.

More accurately, the Republican 0bamacare tweak. And now the Republicans are responsible for it.

My husband was in the bank today and they play some kind of “Muzak” over the intercom. Right in the middle of “The Girl From Ipanema” (or whatever), a woman’s voice comes on and says, “Millions have lost their healthcare today, I thought you should know.”
He said it wasn’t an internal message from the bank - it was from Muzak!

WTH??

This is an utter abandonment of conservative principles. The federal government has no business being involved in medical care.

Seven years ago, when Obamacare was rammed through on party lines, I never would have guessed we would see a Republican Congress passing a bill promoted by a Republican President that enshrines Obamacare’s key principles.

This is just another stop on the way to full-blown socialized medicine, courtesy of the Republican Party, with Donald Trump leading the way.

Pitiful.

read on an American Taxpayer post of some kind (sorry forgot cite):

he American Health Care Act (HR 1628) passed by the House today reduces taxes on the American people by over $1 trillion. The bill abolishes the following taxes imposed by Obama and the Democrat party in 2010 as part of Obamacare:

-Abolishes the Obamacare Individual Mandate Tax which hits 8 million Americans each year.

-Abolishes the Obamacare Employer Mandate Tax. Together with repeal of the Individual Mandate Tax repeal this is a $270 billion tax cut.

-Abolishes Obamacare’s Medicine Cabinet Tax which hits 20 million Americans with Health Savings Accounts and 30 million Americans with Flexible Spending Accounts. This is a $6 billion tax cut.

-Abolishes Obamacare’s Flexible Spending Account tax on 30 million Americans. This is a $20 billion tax cut.

-Abolishes Obamacare’s Chronic Care Tax on 10 million Americans with high out of pocket medical expenses. This is a $126 billion tax cut.

-Abolishes Obamacare’s HSA withdrawal tax. This is a $100 million tax cut.

-Abolishes Obamacare’s 10% excise tax on small businesses with indoor tanning services. This is a $600 million tax cut.

-Abolishes the Obamacare health insurance tax. This is a $145 billion tax cut.

-Abolishes the Obamacare 3.8% surtax on investment income. This is a $172 billion tax cut.

-Abolishes the Obamacare medical device tax. This is a $20 billion tax cut.

-Abolishes the Obamacare tax on prescription medicine. This is a $28 billion tax cut.

-Abolishes the Obamacare tax on retiree prescription drug coverage. This is a $2 billion tax cut.

Here is the link to the Bill
https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/BILLS-115hr1628rh/pdf/BILLS-115hr1628rh.pdf

And here we go...

1: Add 400 million to Medicare budget
2: One year from the passing of the law, no federal funding to states for 501 c 3 who specifically do abortions!!! This defunds planned parenthood outright!
3: REPEALS STATE MEDICARE Expansion for everyone except pregnant women. LOWER Taxes! Less Socialism!
4: Eliminates cuts to the Medicare Disproportionate Share Hospital. This will help a large number of people on Medicaid and uninsured individuals, as the money would go to them! Good!
5: Gives power back to the states to decide who is cut from state medical care on a case by case basis for instances such as lottery winnings, inheritance, or any other cash windfall
6: Protects the states from having to pay for insurance for people who are not eligible. SPECIFICALLY TARGETS ILLEGAL ALIENS. THEY MUST PROVIDE PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP OR NO MEDICAL CARE!
7: Provides a bigger financial safety net for NON MEDICARE EXPANSION STATES by giving more funding to Federal medical assistance percentage. Basically more money to cover people until 2021
8: Says people on State health insurance can be checked for eligibility as frequent as every 6 months now and allows assholes to be fined who defraud the system by applying and getting care despite not qualifying for it.
9: Increases federal fund matching to state expenditures for medical care by 5% increase
10: If any of the 50 states spends too much on healthcare (has excess aggregate medical assistance expenditures) more than what the feds give them after 2020. Then the feds will punish the states for being wasteful and reduce their next payment by 25%!!! OUCH If states waste money, they lose money!
EDIT A: Except for DSH, Medicare cost sharing, safety net provider payments
EDIT B: Then it goes into math explaining how to calculate the federal allotment to the states.
EDIT C: If the states try to fuck around and not give the feds the expenditure info on time they are penalized -1% of previous years allotment.
EDIT D: Gives the feds the power to audit the states to investigate for any fuckery in the expenditure numbers they give the feds.
11: Totally Repeals part of Obamacare that deals with “Reduced cost-sharing for individuals enrolling in qualified health plans” Basically Obamacare said that cost sharing applies how the government says it does. This destroys the poverty trap. GOOD
12: Creates a BRAND NEW Service called ‘Patient and State Stability Fund’ to be administered by the Secretary of Health and Human Services that provides funding to the 50 states through Medicare/Medicaid from 2018 to 2026. This money can be used for the following
A) High risk people who cant seem to get private health insurance
B) Provides incentives to Insurance companies to negotiate with the States to stabilize insurance premiums
C) By reducing the cost of health insurance by helping pay for sick people who use health insurance a lot
D)Promoting competition and participation in the markets
E) Promote emphasis & access on preventative services, dental vision, mental, and substance addictions
F) Paying the Insurance companies directly or indirectly for playing by the rules set by the Admin
G) Provide financial assistance to the states by helping chip in for the costs to help keep costs lower.
13: Explains how a state can be eligible for federal funds. A) State can use funds to pay for 75% of expenses that are between 50k and 350k. If there is left over funds from the previous year, the Secretary of Health and Human Services can decide where to put the money at their discretion.
14: Make it LEGAL for insurance companies to penalize you if you drop health insurance for 63 days or more. IT IS A 30% increase in health insurance penalty for dropping coverage! BOOOO!
15: REPEALS the bronze, silver, gold, platinum healthcare model on Jan 1, 2020.
16: Protects Obamacare “Preexisting condition policy”
17: Grandmothers Obamacare plans. Literally “If you like your plan you can keep it.. by law”
18: Frees insurance companies to add additional abortion coverage and to create whatever they want. Destroys Obamacare Mandate to force every plan to cover abortion. PLUS insurance cannot use federal tax money to pay for or subsidize this in anyway.
19: Any insurance program not included in the healthcare exchange does not qualify for Federal subsidies.
20: Defines Tax Credits for income and tax brackets via age and income for individuals
21: Ends the Premium Tax Credit on Jan 1 2020.
22: Removes Tax Credit For Business Health Insurance that cover Abortions
23: AMENDS (NOT REPEALS) Individual mandate and brings tax to 0% and fine to $0!!! Bye bye Obamacare tax!
24: AMENDS (NOT REPEALS) Employer mandate and brings fines down to $0. This means bye bye 50 employee cap!
25: Repeals Mandatory Employee tax on health insurance. Big Win!
26: Repeals tax on over the counter medication! Cheaper medicine!
27: Reduces Health Savings Account tax from 20% to 10%- 15%
28: Repeals limitations on how much money you can put into a flexible spending account!
29: Repeals Medical Device Excise Tax! Cheaper procedures and cheaper costs!
30: Repeals the law to allow Deduction for expense related to the Medicare D Subsidy
31: Amends Medicare deduction income level growth rate from 10% to 7.5%
32: Creates a refundable tax credit for having health insurance for individuals and to a lesser extent employers for providing it
33: Creates a tax payer subsidy to the insurance companies on Jan 1 2020 run by the Secretary of Health and Human Services
34: Allows the Secretary of Health and Human Services to credit Health Savings Account Directly to anyone who qualifies.
35: Amends Law to removing the artificial cap of $2,250 and Dramatically increasing the amount someone can fund their Health Savings Account
36: Allows spouses to catch up and add more to Health Savings Accounts after the age of 55
37: Lets you use a Health Savings Account for things that happened in the past IF the health insurance was established within 60 days of opening the HSA.
38: Repeals Obamacare tax/fees on prescription drugs totally
39: Repeals Obamacare Health Insurance Tax
40: Repeals Tanning Tax
41: Repeals this monstrosity TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY. BOTTOM LINE LESS TAXES!

THATS IT! ALL DONE!
