I honestly never hear nor read anything from Pelosi.

Tell me how the people I am singling out will benefit.

Yeah, Drafter.
Why'd you say that the poor bastids in the rustbelt will benefit?

I saw an interview with the CEO of Blue Shield, a CA based non-profit health insurance provider, and even he said the House AHCA bill sent to the Senate was worse than Obamacare and will not provide adequate or affordable healthcare for most Americans, especially those with pre-existing conditions, and given the definition of "pre-existing condition", would include most people...

I'm sure the GOP was unhappy when Trump said that we need a great health care system. Like Australia's....

It is universal, govt managed, and publicly funded by a 2% tax on all citizens above a minimum income level, plus a 1% tax for wealthy people who don't have private insurance. There is a "private for-profit" health insurance component that is well-regulated to keep premiums down, and which has a govt. run enterprise to promote competition in that marketplace...

No wonder Australia is famous for their health care...

Remember: Coverage doesn't equate to care.

My neighbors are from England. The health coverage is government funded. When her dad passed away from cancer she was made aware of how terrible their CARE is, even if their coverage was exceptional. He was a military lifer and had the premium package.
Now her mum is looking to move here because she recognizes how woeful the English government is at playing nurse and insurance man.

But never mind this.
It's purely anecdotal.

Obama care will exist until the house and Senate have ratified the same bill. I don't see that happening anytime soon if at all.

and (anecdotal knowledge) Emergency Rooms were actually starting to turn profits because they were treating mostly emergency cases instead of routine crap for people without insurance or primary care physicians...people costing tax payers more than increased insurance costs had and will.

If this is the litmus test then a simple answer would be to set up clinics.

The idea gets laughed at and mocked when it's proposed.
But it would very economically rid the emergency rooms of the uninsured.

I really like these "Primary Care", "HEALRH ONE"
And all the other satellite "quick care "
Facilities that are popping up all around small and medium sized towns....
They really "take the load of emergency rooms"
But a few have BANKERS HOURS...
LIKE 9:00 am to 4:00 pm M-F (closed 12-1 @ lunch)
^^^ WHAT THE ****???
Who needs quick care then?
Plus they are all starting to accept tons of different
Health insurances too.

We've got a couple of those now... our local hospital shut down.. no surprise or particular blame for that... they'd been struggling for the over 20 years I've been around here.... closest ER is about 25 miles.... 😟
