think about this: the current 'president' is fine with allowing 32 million people losing healthcare

really, think about that. he was badgering congress to remove 32 million people from healthcare.



Senate 'repeal only' bill would leave 32 million more uninsured, CBO says

A revived bill that would dismantle large parts of Obamacare without an immediate replacement would leave 32 million more people uninsured and double premiums over a decade, the Congressional Budget Office said in a report Wednesday.

The legislation — an updated version of the repeal measure nearly all GOP senators voted for in 2015 — is on track to reach the Senate floor early next week, where it would likely fail.

Republican leaders pledged to put the bill to a vote after their initial effort to repeal and replace Obamacare fell apart in stunning fashion, though a number of holdout lawmakers are meeting later tonight to try to salvage the effort.

If that fails, CBO’s analysis offers a stark look at the GOP’s remaining option for following through on their seven-year vow to eliminate Obamacare.

If they were, they wouldn't get sick, and if they were injured, they'd be able to pay for their own ER visit out of pocket and then buy their own health insurance to cover any follow-up or anything that might be wrong that can't just "get fixed" on that visit.

Real people have their own doctors on call. Real people aren't going to be dependent on rich people for subsidies to pay their bills, If they are dependent, they've got to be really good workers; giving up their personal interests to compete else for the continued patronage of those few really rich people who choose to be charitable with their Gawd-given Wealth.

That's how Drumpf and the GOP think about any citizens who aren't their "base".
