Afraid To Report Sexual Assaults

I'm guessing that rich, white baby boomers make up about 0.50% of the total population, maybe 0.75% if pushing the limits of "rich."

It's sad to think that such a tiny minority can set policy for so many, especially in the 21st century.

Let's all hope that the Senate is smarter and more humane than the House.

Judit, your copy/paste is incorrect. Under the proposed plan, people with pre-existing health conditions will have access to health care. They just will have to pay more.

What on earth is sexual assault a pre-existing condition for? Lawsuits against Bill O'Reilly?

Just start a frickin' single payer health system.

I'd be more that happy to send some extra tax money to provide health care to all Americans.

A few months ago Ryan said something like, "The American Way is for people to choose if they have health insurance, and which one they want."

Says fucking who? Him?

Why can't the American Way be that everyone has health insurance, simply because it's the civilized thing to do?

ender, for many people, paying more will mean no health insurance.

Sure, but they still have access. (Also, there ARE municipalities/states that prevent gun ownership based on pre-existing mental conditions.)

Words matter. Facebook/twitter copy and pastes dumb down the debate. Not everything can be summarized into a bumper sticker.

The whole, "yeah, but they have access..." argument is ridiculous. At its very best, it's just patronizing and demeaning.

>> The whole, "yeah, but they have access..." argument is ridiculous. 

I didn't make an argument. I refuted an error.

I was merely responding to your printed words. Words matter, right?

I don't support this bill, but yeah it's still important to get the facts right when constructing at argument.

I believe, under the Bill, States can determine if they will cover pre-existing conditions AND pregnancy. If they choose not to, then millions will not have access.

So yes, for a select few there will be access, but it still may not be affordable.

Trump has a pre-existing condition.

The core problem is nothing is being done to reduce costs. Not in ACA and not in this bill.

That's because there is only one way to reduce costs, but it's the pink elephant.

If people on both sides of the aisle really want reduced costs, they will move to universal / single-payer.

The majority, on both sides, is afraid of those words, and as we know, words matter.

Grow up Timmy.  If this is your best effort, stop trying to criticize Trump. You stink at it.
