Trumpcare Megathread: It's dead (for now)

[tallguy23]

So what is most likely to happen now? Repeal and no replace? Skinny repeal? Nothing and they move on to tax reform?

[tallguy23]

This would be the dumbest possible move for Congressional Republicans if they do pass a "skinny repeal". It doesn't repeal Obamacare, ensures higher costs, increases the likelihood of a death spiral, and places any blame for healthcare problems on themselves.

Also doesn't cut taxes except the Medical Device Tax.

Also doesn't cut Medicaid.

According to reports of recent drafts, it doesn't even repeal the medical device tax.

So what the hell is gonna be in this? Just a mandate repeal?

[tallguy23]

I wouldn't doubt them passing something, but it won't be easy. Most people are over healthcare reform and want to move on.

[tallguy23]

It's a horrible bill that will just hurt many people in their own base. Is the symbolic "victory" worth it?

[tallguy23]

Likelihood of this passing?

[tallguy23]

This is way stressful. My parents have benefited from ACA and I'm worried about their healthcare future.

[tallguy23]

Murkowski turned down a buy-out before. I have a feeling she might do it again.

[tallguy23]

Chances of any repeal passing now? Gotta be slim to none right?

[tallguy23]

Politico got hold of the bill and the main difference seems to be giveaways to Arizona, Kentucky, and Alaska.

Pathetic. That won't buy of McCain.
