Because Poor People Have Too Damn Much Money
I am so damn mad that I could jump start my car without cables.
The typical family making less than $10,000 will lose $1,420 if the Republican health care plan passes, a cut that amounts to almost one-third of their income. Meanwhile, the average family making $200,000 or more would gain $5,640, according to a new analysis from the Tax Policy Center and the Urban Institute’s Health Policy Center.
Man, that sucks like an Electrolux.
And God only knows how many middle income or pre-existing condition people they plan on killing before they get finished with the horse trading today. Well, they’ll probably have to trade shetland ponies instead because there’s ain’t a Republican in congress as smart as a horse.
That explains the tiny little tax cut for the .01%. A cut north of $40,000 is such a tiny fraction of their income. We need to eat more dog kibble, preferably the generic brands, so they receive a bigger break on the taxes they already don’t pay.
As the varmints in the House hustle today to slap enough grease on this pig of a bill to slide it through to the Senate, is anyone else gobsmacked at the snacilbupeR notion that a health care bill would be written with a tax cut as its core element?
Donnie said this is complicated. Not really, Donnie. Consider flood insurance. In many areas the insurance companies were thrilled to allow the federal government to be the sole provider. Those would be the areas where profit is not possible and losses are a certainty. Nothing different about health insurance. The pool of people either to poor to buy their product or too likely to actually use it are not wanted by the insurance companies. They want the profits, not the liabilities. The insurance companies are very much like you, Donnie, taking advantage of free roads, air traffic control; basically whatever you want or need, while contributing nothing to the national coffers.
Fix health care, Donnie? Actually part of it is easy. Eject the middle morass of health insurance companies and provide a single payer system. Availability is another issue which requires making school affordable so that doctors are available.
1It is Paul Ryan’s (and the majority of republicans) goal to make access to affordable healthcare for the general population much worse than even before the ACA.
2I am listening to Spicer’s press meeting – read contortionist act – and his circular justifications have left the press corps speechless. Melissa McCarthy has to be giggling at the material he is handing her.
3“The Republicans moan, the Republicans bitch–
4Our rich are too poor and the poor are too rich.”
Deliberately promoting a plan that will result in deaths. That’s why the word “depraved” often precedes snacilbupeR.
5rePUKEians as a group HATE women, the poor, and non-xtian not like them! They are in office, so we know that too many people hate others just as much and hate themselves as well. Why else vote against your own interests?!?!?!
6My Republican congresswoman will not say how she is voting.
7At lest once a week, I send her an email that says, “Whose side are you on”?
She never answers.
The goal of the GOP
8Is to propagate a bluff,
That the poor have too much money
And the rich have not enough
Somebody put together a map of the U.S. with color coding showing what fraction of a 60 year-old’s with $20k/yr income was required to obtain insurance under (1) the ACA; and (2) the AHCA. Chunks of several states show fractions > 100% under the AHCA.

I have never seen such blatant hatred for women and the poor. Yet these evil rethuglicans spout “Look at my Christian values” when they want your vote. Then they vote against anything remotely resembling Christian teaching. And don’t expect much from their preachers. Those guys are pondscum who just want money. Let’s throw the bastards out. We must wake up! Mobil phones and gadgets are nice but education is what matters. Our priorities are backwards. Common sense isn’t common. These things must change or our democracy is dead.
10Why can’t they hear the screams of the people, the poor who have no analgesics for their pain? It seems the louder we protest the deafer the R’s get! Scientifically, that isn’t supposed to happen!
