So far so good. The moral of the story so far, appears to be that if you fall too far into Trump derangement syndrome you will either "imagine" killer clowns doing things like having sex in a grocery store...
Either that or real killer clowns will follow you around, terrorize you, and make it appear to the rest of the world that you are bat shit crazy. Who knows what is and isn't real at this point. Perhaps Donald Trump really does control a variety of ice cream trucks loaded with killer clowns for this very purpose?
By far the most politicized season of A.H.S. - but to see the crazy Hillary supporters in total melt down mode, while they are being played by the "cult" of Trumpism is less than fictional. I am sure when all the minorities, gays, transgenders, and other downtrodden liberals finally get their act together and fight off the evil Trumpism then the real "fiction" will start.

And what was CH opining about healthcare funding yesterday....that the same funds could be better handled by the states?? Notice his premise is more flawed than usual.....but, that is to be expected from a die hard liar.....
Graham-Cassidy saws off all three legs of that stool. Like other Republican plans, it eliminates the individual mandate. It replaces direct aid to individuals with block grants to states, under a formula that sharply reduces funding relative to current law, and especially penalizes states that have done a good job of reducing the number of uninsured. And it effectively eliminates protection for Americans with pre-existing conditions.
Did Graham-Cassidy’s sponsors know what they were doing when putting this bill together? Almost surely not, or they wouldn’t have produced something that everyone, and I mean everyone, who knows anything about health care warns would cause chaos.
How many people would lose insurance? Republicans are trying to ram the bill through before the Congressional Budget Office has time to analyze it — an attempt that is in itself a violation of all previous norms, and amounts to an admission that the bill can’t bear scrutiny. But C.B.O. has analyzed other bills containing some of Graham-Cassidy’s provisions, and these previous analyses suggest that it would add more than 30 million people to the ranks of the uninsured.
Lindsey Graham, Bill Cassidy, and the bill’s other sponsors have responded to these critiques the old-fashioned way — with lies.

It’s not just progressives: The American Medical Association, the insurance industry and Blue Cross/Blue Shield have all warned that markets would be destabilized and millions would lose coverage.

WTF?
Many of the groups now opposing the Graham-Cassidy bill were backers of Obamacare when it was passed in 2010, and have opposed any major repeal effort. Here’s a list of some of the health-care groups that have come out against the latest measure:
American Hospital Association
American Medical Association
American College of Physicians
American Academy of Family Physicians
American Academy of Pediatrics
American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network
American Diabetes Association
American Heart Association
American Lung Association
Association of American Medical Colleges
Arthritis Foundation
Cystic Fibrosis Foundation
Children’s Hospital Association

Graham-Cassidy saws off all three legs of that stool. Like other Republican plans, it eliminates the individual mandate. It replaces direct aid to individuals with block grants to states, under a formula that sharply reduces funding relative to current law, and especially penalizes states that have done a good job of reducing the number of uninsured. And it effectively eliminates protection for Americans with pre-existing conditions.
- Eliminating the individual mandate is not reducing funds
- Replacing "direct aid" with a block grant, is another way of saying you are moving federal funding to state funding. If states feel that there is a more effective means to use that money than simply sending people "direct aid" then how would you know if those states are right or wrong?
- It doesn't penalize anyone - it provides aid to states in direct correlation to how many low income and uninsured. Right now, states that agreed to take on medicaid expansion are receiving federal funds that states that did not take on medicaid expansion does not. But several states are already having issues trying to budget for "their" portion of this. Explain how this is a fair means to budget money. If you agree to spend more of your budget on healthcare expansion, we will give you more... but if you don't - you get nothing.
But just because you live in a state that expanded (and currently get more money) - doesn't mean you are being penalized.
Seems like it would be "fairer" to give every state the same amount of funding (based on their needs)...
Wouldn't you agree?

Paul Krugman wrote in 1998:
“The growth of the Internet will slow drastically, as the flaw in ‘Metcalfe’s law’—which states that the number of potential connections in a network is proportional to the square of the number of participants—becomes apparent: most people have nothing to say to each other! By 2005 or so, it will become clear that the Internet’s impact on the economy has been no greater than the fax machine’s.”

No C/P
Senator Bernie Sanders is probably going to move the country towards a single payer system.
The reason is that the Republicans are claiming that a single payer system is a death sentence to the United States Of America. The Democrats are divided on this, but most importantly, polling numbers support a system that provides medical insurance coverage for everyone. It is strongly opposed by the Trump base, and most Republicans, but not all. Independent voters and the Democrats support universal health care, as a right.
"Wouldn't you agree?"
In this case, I don't think that federalism will be able to provide medical care for all Americans. It's not in the Construction, we are known that. But you should know, because you can read and more importantly, comprehend complex polling numbers, that a significant percentage support a single payer system.
We disagree on the roll of the federal government versus federalism. I think that in this case, of critical issues of life and death, the states are far too often, driven by day to day issues, instead of providing health care for the people of that state. I have been saying that all Americans should have the right to medical coverage.
White House Harbors Doubts About Health Care Bill
Politico: “The public stance is coupled with a sense of doubt inside the White House, though, about the bill and deep concerns about whether it can pass the Senate or House, according to administration officials and congressional sources. These people say the president and his team have little sway with some key members, like GOP Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, John McCain of Arizona and Murkowski, the trio that tanked Republicans’ repeal attempt in July.
“In fact, many Republicans on Capitol Hill believe that Trump cost them Murkowski’s vote in a private phone call this summer. And the president has refrained from making as many calls this go-round, one person familiar with his whipping said.
“Several White House officials described the president as determined to sign something — anything, really.”

Just 24% Support Graham-Cassidy Bill
A new Public Policy Polling survey finds that only 24% of Americans support the Graham-Cassidy health care bill being considering in the U.S. Senate.
Vox: “Majorities believe that Graham-Cassidy would instead both raise health care costs for most Americans and result in fewer Americans obtaining coverage. Only 20% said they thought the bill would cover more Americans.”
Paul Krugman and HB cheered for a Dow 17,000.
America's Investment Class decided otherwise.

The US Constitution contains that "Right" exactly where?
Ok, but the polls don't vote. We voted in 2016 to end Obumblecare.

Oh dayum.....trump said this bill was nothing but goodness....he and CH lied again...Shocking because CH is for it......
Over 20 million more people could go without insurance if the Graham-Cassidy healthcare legislation is enacted into law, according to a study from the Brookings Institution published Friday.
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office told lawmakers that it will likely not release a full score of the legislation with coverage effects. Matthew Fiedler and Loren Adler at Brookings used previous CBO models to attempt to determine the new plan's potential effects.
According to the study, 21 million more people would be without coverage in 2026 than under the current system. After the large portion of the bill's funding runs out in 2026, that number would skyrocket to 32 million, the study said.
Even that scenario is a best-case one, Adler and Fiedler wrote. From the study (emphasis added):
"This estimate likely understates the reductions in insurance coverage that would actually occur under the Graham-Cassidy legislation, particularly toward the beginning and end of the seven-year period, because it does not account for the challenges states will face in setting up new programs on the bill’s proposed timeline, the possibility that uncertainty about the program’s future will cause market turmoil toward the end of the seven-year period, or the bill’s Medicaid per capita cap and other non-expansion-related Medicaid provisions."

McCain, who killed the previous repeal effort with his dramatic “no” vote in July, released a statement saying he would not support the latest proposal, by Senators Bill Cassidy of Louisiana and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, who is Mr. McCain’s closest friend in the Senate.
“I cannot in good conscience vote for the Graham-Cassidy proposal,” Mr. McCain said. “I believe we could do better working together, Republicans and Democrats, and have not yet really tried. Nor could I support it without knowing how much it will cost, how it will effect insurance premiums, and how many people will be helped or hurt by it.”

Republican Sen. John McCain announces opposition to health care bill, dashing hopes for GOP leaders
WASHINGTON — Sen. John McCain says he won't vote for the Republican bill repealing the Obama health care law. His statement likely deals a fatal blow to the last-gasp GOP measure in a Senate showdown expected next week.
The Arizona Republican says he can't back the partisan GOP measure because "we could do better working together, Republicans and Democrats."
He also says he can't back it without knowing the proposal's impact on insurance coverage and premiums. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office has said its estimates on that won't be ready next week.
Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul has said he'll oppose the bill and Maine Sen. Susan Collins says she's leaning against it. Republicans control the Senate 52-48. All Democrats oppose the bill so three GOP "no" votes would doom it.

In 2016 I campaigned on repealing Obamacare while wearing yoga wear. I won reelection in resounding fashion in 2016 because of these promises and because I play cribbage with by buddy Bert.
I cannot in good faith follow through with my promises, because I am afraid of what the media will say about me, and because I just recently found out that the little people who live in my pores depend on Obamacare.
I would rather do nothing, blame it on partisanship, and the spotted alligators that live in my closet.
Sincerely,
John
Oh gosh, I forgot my last name.
Gosh, with Republicans and Democrats working together at last ... who knows? We might even be able to come up with healthcare to rival that of the other civilized nations of the world.
Eventually OUR child and elderly mortality rates will set a standard for the world (which they do not now).
