this from the wine guzzling millionaire wench who gave us the classic "you've got to pass it to see what's in it ".............what was in it was skyrocketing premiums, double skyrocketing deductibles, and the bald faced lie that "if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor"....stupid Nancy?.......you lived and breathed it for 8 years:thumbsdown:

Not nearly as stupid as the one uttering the proclamation. In fact, she surpasses STUPID by a very large margin.

All my be true, but it's a stupid bill
I don't think anyone knows what the final draft will look like, but for pelosi to call anything stupid after the actions of her much too prolonged career is pathetic at best.......she needs to follow the example of her buddy harry reid

What gets me, is that our House of Representatives just passed a bill that almost no one thinks will be a law, because it needs to be rewritten. Yet they cheered in the ros garden like what they did was great.

Medicaid rollbacks in States that need even more expansion, like Ohio, for one.
If you didn't see the cost of Medicaid expansion ever being shifted to the states at some point you weren't looking hard enough. It's up to the states to decide - I'm okay with that

It doesn't need to be rewritten, but will be because it won't pass the senate as is. Then once the senate passes something, it will all be put back in reconciliation.

What's stupid about it, especially compared to what it is replacing?

Why is the ACA so much better? (they both are flawed btw) but what are the superior aspects of the ACA compared to this (besides your ideological allegiance to one over the other)?

While you're explaining what's "stupid" about this legislation, can you explain the sanity behind community rating?

How about the efficiency of "guaranteed issue" policies?

Enlighten us on the efficacy of the"medical device taxes"?

All of the above to my understanding this legislation does away with.

I like my doctor, I kept my doctor, my premiums didn't raise and my deductibles didn't increase.

You're rare.

20+% increases upon the passage of the ACA, deductibles more than doubled, employee contribution for the first time in 30 years.

Don't insurance premiums usually raise almost annually just as a matter of fact? We're to believe your premiums haven't increased in 7 yrs? Hmmmm, OK.

I ***** about a rose garden show of victory when the bill isn't passed (or even written yet).

my wife's did and she had to change doctors...the only thing she didn't get hit with was a significant deductible increase. No matter how you slice it the american people were lied to and hurt by obamacare and time will tell if this attempt is any better.....but it sure as hell couldn't be any worse

Everything that is ever accomplished always begins with a first step. This was a celebration of that first step that laid to rest a large portion of the failure called ObamaCare.

She's Botoxed her mouth into almost total paralysis. A couple of more treatments and America can celebrate the silence.

Not if they can't get it through the Senate
