#1

The bill faces a potentially harder road to winning passage in the Senate...The bill passed by a vote of 217 to 213 [in the House], which was one more "yes" vote than was needed for passage.

All 193 Democrats voting opposed the bill. They were joined by 20 Republicans voting "no."

It can't get much harder in the Senate than the House--unless it is quashed in the Senate.

#4 We'll see how this all shakes out. We'll see if premiums decrease or not and whether care improves or not. Color me skeptical. It's nice to hear the Democrats squeal though.

#5 We'll see if it makes a dent in the national debt.

#7 Trump is cutting something like $1 Trillion in O-care taxes, mandates, subsidies and fees. If that is only the taxes, one has to wonder how much O-Care is really costing folks.

I saw a doc on TV who said he came up with a three page health care bill that would cost people far less. He also said that O-Care was crafted by the insurance industry for the insurance industry.
