Trumpcare

According to the CBO:

64-year-old making $26,500 pays $1,700 under Obamacare

Under Trumpcare: Same person pays $14,600.

Suckers.

 

"Among those hit the hardest under the current House bill are 60-year-olds with annual incomes of $30,000, particularly in rural areas where healthcare costs are higher and Obamacare subsidies are greater.

"In nearly 1,500 counties nationwide, such a person stands to lose more than $6,000 a year in federal insurance subsidies. Ninety percent of those counties backed Trump, the analysis shows.

"And 68 of the 70 counties where these consumers would suffer the largest losses supported Trump in November."

The C.B.O. has called it as it sees it, and the picture is clear: Trumpcare would throw millions of Americans off their health coverage. And no amount of spin or scorn for the C.B.O. can alter that reality.

I'm desperately clinging to my belief that the vast majority of Trump supporters are not ignorant, or racist, or misogynist, etc.  However, with approximately 40%-45% of Americans approving of the job he's doing, that's becoming an increasingly difficult position to defend.

I'm always amazed and humbled by your unbridled optimism.  I recently had to un-friend a few childhood frenemies on FB who've come out in full support of Trump for all the wrong reasons.  Something about Trump's fake bravado and Bannon's playbook have completely emboldened them.
