    Just had a great idea. Patient comes to receive health care, forget the form, forget the co-pay, forget the questionnaire, one question only.

    Are you an (R) or a (D)

    Person answers (R) = Ma'am or Sir please have a seat you'll be called on shortly
    Person answers (D) = I think you have the wrong clinic/hospital/Doc in the Box, here are the addresses for Planned Parenthood if need be. Sorry.

    Save a lot of money. Insure those 22 million the CBO is caterwauling about. I realize it's harsh but hey, to the victors go the spoils, right?

    You don't think millions of people will lose their health insurance with this bill?

    Guilty as charged. And, while it hasn't passed yet and chickens counted before hatching a cardinal sin.....please give we Deplorables a tad more credit than just bills to die for. The entire environment ruined in a single withdrawal from Paris. The end of global unity by slicing off tpp. Regulation, after pipeline holdup, after anti-business executive orders thrashed and slashed ruining the Obama legacy. And you must admit this scotus ruling today has so many manifestations to it regarding winning this last election, how elections matter. And have deep consequences.

    Think back and Antonin Scalia the great Supreme Court Justice's untimely death with the GOP in control of the Senate. The absolute brilliant political ploy of refusing Obama a supreme court pick, his third.....and banking the entire outcome on the election. Because the Gorsuch vote in this Travel Ban decision alone screams volumes. You gotta give us more credit than just rolling back Obamacare, Beevee, we're dictating government in this country. Like voters asked Republicans do.

    How can the CBO guesstimate anything when no bill has been passed?

    I think millions will choose to opt out if they are given a choice. Choosing to not purchase it is not losing it.


    I disapprove of government telling people that they must purchase a product they do not want.

    I hope they read it then did an analysis. It's no different that a local social impact assessment (SIA) that estimates costs and benefits of proposals.

    They were way off the mark with the ACA. They had a rosy prediction of that fiasco.

    Most of the cbo analysis of ACA was dead on the money.
