Surely it has no hope of becoming law. I guess it’s just a display of what Republican policy promises for the future? Is there anyone who wants the health care marketplace to go away? How would people get coverage?

Gotta love how the republicans try to make it seem like theyre giving you freedom of choice. If they really wanted to lift the burden of paid insurance companies and offer choice they would offer a public government option to people. Instead theyre offering something that’s essentially just throwing your money away, unless you like get hit by a car and break every bone in your body(even then the likely high deductible and limited network and lack of hospitalization coverage will still bankrupt you).

It reminds me of the conversation I was having with my family recently about how the big bad NY dems are taking away their CHOICE to use fossil fuels and its like no theyre phasing it out and offering subsidies for people to use alternatives. Theyre requiring new construction to be all electric, and then eventually theyre phasing out being able to buy a new gas furnace over a heat pump(which will also use less energy to run most of the year than your gas stove and also double as central air in the summer). Even then you can still keep and repair what you have it’s just a matter of when it’s finally time to make that expensive replacement you’ll have to replace it with something good.

Theres also fear mongering about them taking away smokers, grills, and firepits which I cant find anything other than right wing sites mentioning it cause “california did it” but then when I google california they didnt lose their grills either.

If you want to know how bad Republicants are at health insurance look at Rick Scott and his fraud. Such a scumbag. Definitely a white supremacist religious weirdo cultist who believes that humans aren’t supposed to have healthcare because death is natural. You know the kind. Rich religious shit bag type.

It’s all a death cult.

sure it would, only if Republicans controlled both the senate and executive like they do the house of representatives. but they don't, so it has no chance of passing, and articles about it are only meant to signal their supporters, of what might happen if they regain control of both. fuck off with republican propaganda. all the way off.

They learned nothing from 2018

we called in insurance roulete when I was young. Plans only covered catastrophic things. Like being hit by a car. So we did not get it and hope nothing happened since it was otherwise useless. Don't want to see those days again. They already weakened it by taking out the mandate which the dems have no stomach to fight for and who can blame them. I doubt they will roll over tor this bullshit though.

Textbook literal doublespeak.

Goddamnit, I so hate how a legion of right-wing morons have co-opted so many terms and have completely scrambled them via their spoon-fed propaganda so that words and phrases once used to criticize and accurately describe their actions - descriptive meaningful terms like “Orwellian,” “fake-news,” “grooming,” etc. - have just completely lost their meaning and now instead have become part of the quiver of bullshit buzzwords the right uses with complete and gleeful ignorance.

In just basic conversation with these people I seem to encounter every day, I feel like I constantly have to update my vocabulary so that I don’t accidentally touch the proverbial “buzzer” in a verbal game of Operation - where if I even accidentally mention one of the words they’ve heard on Tucker Carlson or from some Trump lackey or the latest trending alt-right YouTuber - they almost squeal with joy as they might get the chance to regurgitate their half-memorized talking points.
