GOP senators added mandate repeal to the tax "reform" bill.

I'm sure the 60th to 99.7th percentile of the party that was the Republican base weren't too happy with the tax hikes they were getting to pay for the top third of the top 1% getting a tax break.

Seeing their insurance premiums go up another 10% will definitely destroy the GOP.

The dumb white hillbillies that hate the mandate won't make enough difference to offset this stupid plan.

Is the GOP really this stupid?

"Seeing their insurance premiums go up another 10%"

The middle class does not depend on obamacare for insurance, cuckhat.

The middle class do depend on the ACA mandates that keep insurance companies from denying insurance to those with pre-existing conditions.

Unless you think that the middle class is free of any pre-existing conditions.

You don't think the mandate will affect those with work insurance? Sorry, you wrong.

Health insurance costs + health care costs have been a shit show in the USA since circa 2000 and have continued to grow more insane year after year.

Nothing new going on here beyond who to point the finger of blame at.

The individual mandate is quite clearly not connected with civilized people's insurance.

At work.

Sure it is. If less people at your work have insurance, it will take more per person to pay in to cover costs. If suddenly 10% of your work force just drops their insurance, your company will be looking at a huge hole in their ledger they need to fill: by charging you more.

I'm thinking the idiots attaching this amendment want the tax reform bill to fail but don't want to vote no on it. They know with this attached others will vote no so they do not have to.

Obamacare needs to go but it should go on it's own without being attached to something unrelated.

"The middle class does not depend on obamacare for insurance"

they do, there are >15 million americans buying health insurance on individual market, they are not poor enough to qualify for Medicaid, so they are, loosely speaking, middle class. But ironically, if they just repeal the mandate, it is not these people who will likely be affected. About 85% of them qualify for federal subsidies, if rates rise, so will their subsidies (if they choose to have health insurance at all, after repeal). However, since the whole point of the unpopular mandate is to get healthy customers for insurers, therefore lowering their costs, the insurers will have to make up the losses elsewhere. Guess where?

"If less people at your work have insurance, it will take more per person to pay in to cover costs"

At any halfway decent job, everyone in the company has at least pretty good insurance, and no one sane opts out.

The individual mandate has utterly no meaning at any good employer.

IM=plebs.

Sam is such a fucking idiot. He had a faint glimmer of intelligence shown right before the election and then he got absorbed back into the alt-right conservative bullshit fake news stream.

The same companies provide insurance to individuals on the exchange as well as companies that provide insurance for their customers.

Insurers will spread the costs around as much as they can.

You fucking inbred idiot.

deluded, you do realize that you are both helpless and hopeless don't you?

There is a huge difference between 'wanting something to happen' and 'something that ***DID*** happen over four decades ago'.

If you need some help with that talk to hood. He has proclaimed himself smart.
