"Republicans need to open their eyes: Our voters support social insurance programs," writes Josh Hawley, a Republican senator from Missouri. "If Republicans want to be a working-class party -- if we want to be a majority party -- we must ignore calls to cut Medicaid."

OLIGARCHY means never having to even think about The Poors.

The Cruelty is both the point and totally unthinking at the same time.

Vacuous Indifference and unreflective group think.

I understand the Elites being Callous...

Why are the Poors so Self Hating and Stupid enough to Vote For this.....

That's the real Mystery,.Skippy.

What are your projections then? 6 million people left uninsured? 2 million people? The victims of your party amount to nearly the entire nation, imo.

Also, where is that "concept of a plan" now? Where is the "big, beautiful medical coverage" promised to all Americans?

Trump lies, so do you.

Saving $2,000 a year just wasn't good enough for you!

Name the much-criticized federal program that has saved the U.S. $2.3 trillion. Hint: it starts with Affordable

"Put another way, health care spending in 2017 was $2,000 less per person than it was projected to be. And for the 176 million Americans who have private employer-sponsored insurance, their lower premiums averaged just under $1,000 per person."

Gotta free up some money for the wealthy to keep their tax cuts. Private health care is really expensive.
