THE CBO REPORT ON THE SENATE
HEALTH CARE BILL HAS FINALLY BEEN RELEASED AND IT IS JUST AS
DRACONIAN AS WE EXPECTED.
IT WOULD CAUSE AN ESTIMATED 22
MILLION MORE AMERICANS TO BE
UNINSURED IN THE COMING DECADE.
22 MILLION.
THAT NOW HAS COLOR
DISCUSSION ABOUT THE SENATE
HEALTH CARE BILL, AS IT SHOULD.
THAT IS REALLY THE BIG ONE.
I
DON'T KNOW ñ IT'S NOT LIKE THE REPUBLICANS WERE OUT THERE
IMPLYING THAT THINGS WOULD BE
BETTER.
THEY HAVE NOT BEEN OUT THERE AT ALL TO TALK ABOUT THIS
BILL.
THERE HAS BEEN ALMOST NO
DISCUSSION, NO INTERVIEWS ñ ASIDE FROM THE FEW REPUBLICAN
SENATORS THAT HAVE COME OUT AGAINST IT.
NO ONE HAS HAD TO
DEFEND THIS BILL REALLY.
THAT SEEMS ABSURD THAT WE CAN
POTENTIALLY ñ AND ALONG THE WAY THE REPUBLICANS DON'T HAVE TO
TAKE ANY QUESTIONS.
THERE WILL
BE ALMOST NO DEBATE.
WE CAN BREAK DOWN SOME OF THE OTHER
NUMBERS BUT I AM GLAD THE MEDIA
IS RUNNING WITH THIS AND HOPEFULLY THERE WON'T BE A LOT
OF PEOPLE THAT DON'T KNOW THIS 22 MILLION FIGURE BY THE END OF
THE DAY.
BUT PERHAPS EVEN SCARIER IS THE 15 MILLION PEOPLE
THAT WILL LOSE THEIR HEALTH
INSURANCE IN ONE YEAR.
IS BASICALLY FOR THE NEXT YEAR
EVERY MONTH 1 MILLION PEOPLE WOULD BE THROWN OFF THEIR HEALTH
INSURANCE.
THAT IS TERRIBLE FOR THOSE PEOPLE AND THOSE FAMILIES BUT
ALSO PROBABLY THE REPUBLICANS WHO WILL HAVE A LOT OF UPSET
PEOPLE COME 2018.
BUT THEIR DONORS ARE SCREAMING GET IT DONE QUICK.
AND
BY THE WAY MORE DRACONIAN.
THEY ARE SAYING THIS IS TO MODERATE A
BILL.
22 PEOPLE MILLION LOSING THEIR INSURANCE, IT IS NOT
ENOUGH.
ON THE UPSIDE, THE DEFICIT GOES DOWN BY $321
BILLION.
KEEPING IT REAL,
KEEPING IT FAIR.
REMEMBER OBAMA CARE ALSO ñ THE MAIN CHOICE
THEY'RE MAKING IS HOW MUCH DO WE
GET RID OF HEALTHCARE AND PEOPLE RECEIVING HEALTHCARE, AND HOW
MUCH MORE DO WE CHARGE.
IN RETURN FOR WHAT?
TAX CUTS FOR
THE RICH.
IT LEADS US TO THIS NUMBER.
ACCORDING TO CBO,
MEDICAID, WHICH TRUMP SAID WOULD NOT BE CUT ñ SHOCKINGLY WOULD BE
CUT BY $772 BILLION IN THIS PROPOSAL.
AND ALMOST ALL OF THAT
GOING TO THE WEALTHY.
IT SEEMS LIKE PEOPLE CAN AT LEAST AGREE THAT THAT IS A CUT,
AND YOU IN THE DAYS LEADING UP TO THIS REPORT, SEAN SPICER IS
SAYING THIS WILL HAVE NO NEGATIVE IMPACT ON MEDICAID.
KELLYANNE CONWAY SAID THERE WILL
BE NO CUTS TO MEDICAID.
THERE IS NO EXPECTATION OF TRUTH ANYMORE.
YOU CAN LIE IN THE MOST BLATANT,
OBVIOUS WAY AND IT DOESN'T MATTER.
WE LIVE IN A POST-TRUTH
WORLD.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW WE COULD'VE GONE TO THIS POINT.
CAN
WE JUMP AHEAD TO GRAPHIC NINE?
YOU WILL ALSO SEE THE OTHER
CHANGES, THE COST, THE
REDUCTIONS.
THIS IS NOT GETTING AS MUCH DISCUSSION BUT I SAW A
FEW PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT IT ON
TWITTER.
YOU ARE SEEING ñ THE TOP NUMBERS ARE FOR WHAT WE
CURRENTLY HAVE, THE PREMIUMS UNDER CURRENT LAW.
THE BOTTOM
NUMBERS ARE WHAT YOU WOULD HAVE UNDER THE SENATE BILL.
WHAT YOU
ARE SEEING CIRCLED IN RED IS THE
AMOUNT A 64-YEAR-OLD, SOMEONE WHO RETIRES, HOW MUCH THEY WOULD
HAVE TO PAY.
IT IS MORE THAN TRIPLE.
THIS IS MIDDLE INCOME.
THERE ARE PEOPLE AT THE LOWER END AT 24, $25,000 A YEAR WHO
WILL PAY FOUR TIMES WHAT THEY ARE PAYING NOW.
I HOPE THAT ALL
OF YOU WATCHING THIS ARE SO WELL-OFF THAT YOU DON'T NEED TO
THINK ABOUT IT, BUT IF YOU ARE MAKING $24,000 A YEAR YOU DON'T
HAVE THREE OR FOUR TIMES AS MUCH
MONEY JUST HANGING AROUND THAT YOU CAN PAY FOR YOUR INSURANCE
PREMIUMS.
BUT THINK ABOUT IT, THIS IS NOT JUST PEOPLE BEING
THROWN OFF.
GOING INTO THE ELECTION, THE SENIORS WILL BE
PAYING THREE OR FOUR TIMES AS MUCH.
THINK OF YOUR CUT TO YOUR
STANDARD OF LIVING WHEN SO MUCH
MORE INCOME HAS TO GO TO THAT.
THEY KEPT SAYING WE WILL GET
PREMIUMS AND DEDUCTIBLES DOWN.
THIS DOES THE EXACT OPPOSITE.
HOW MANY PROMISES CAN YOU BREAK IN A SINGLE BILL?
COUNTERPOINT, THERE ARE NO DONORS OR REPUBLICAN
SENATORS THAT MAKE $24,000 A
YEAR.
THIS IS WHAT WE WILL FIND OUT, IF THERE IS SUCH A THING AS
A MODERATE REPUBLICAN.
WE KEEP GETTING TOLD BY THE
ESTABLISHMENT PRESS THAT THERE
IS.
THEY WILL NOT ALLOW THE REPUBLICANS TO DO THIS KIND OF
DRACONIAN HEALTH CARE BILL.
THERE ARE FOUR REPUBLICAN
SENATORS THAT HAVE OBJECTED TO
THIS BILL, THEY ALL THINK IT IS TOO LIBERAL.
22 MILLION, NOT
ENOUGH.
NEARLY $800 BILLION IN TAX CUTS, NOT ENOUGH.
WHERE THE
HELL ARE THE SO-CALLED MODERATE REPUBLICANS?
IF THE REPUBLICANS
PASS SOME VERSION OF THIS BILL, IT IS JUST AN ESTABLISHMENT
PRESS GIMMICK.
MAYBE THE
MODERATE REPUBLICANS, ALL THEY
NEED IS THREE TO KILL THE BILL.
SO WE WILL FIND OUT.
WHY DOES
THE PRESS AND THE SO-CALLED LIBERAL MEDIA WANT TO PROP UP
THIS BS TALKING POINT?
THAT QUESTION WILL BE ANSWERED BY THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY.
BASED ON WHETHER OR NOT THEY PASS THIS
BILL.
THE LAST THING WE WILL
FIND OUT IS IF THEY DO PASS IT, IS IT TRUE WHAT DONALD TRUMP
SAID, THAT HE COULD SHOOT SOMEONE ON FIFTH AVENUE AND GET
AWAY WITH IT.
CAN YOU TAKE HEALTHCARE AWAY AND INCREASE THE
COST OF HEALTHCARE AND DELIVER LESS HEALTH CARE TO THE PEOPLE
WHO STILL HAVE IT, AND DO IT TO SENIOR CITIZENS ON A GROTESQUE
LEVEL AND STILL GET AWAY WITH IT?
SO WE WILL HAVE OUR ANSWERS
IN A COUPLE OF DAYS OR WEEKS.
THEN WE WILL HAVE OUR ANSWERS FROM REPUBLICAN VOTERS PERHAPS
IN 2018.
THIS IS MOMENTOUS AND WILL DECIDE MANY THINGS.
