    It was the House the Senate vote is down the road

    ACA is still, for now, the law of the land

    ACA is a law that will collapse from under its own weight. This was correctly predicted from the start.

    But like all things in government, they take a bad policy and make it worse.

    I assume the answer you have in mind has something to do with boot straps or some such

    Medicine is "product" ?

    Of course it will. We either go cradle to grave or we Make America Great again

    Actually ACA took no policy and put us on a path

    Yes.

    Reconciliation rules require that the Senate have a CBO score to determine if it meets Byrd rule standards. So yes.

    I'm genuinely curious what you would consider medicine - something that takes unimaginable human intelligence, human capital, and financial capital to create

    While I think this bill is nonsense, I do get a kick out of the fanboys for ACA despising this one.

    Don't force a ****ty bill down our throats, and then you don't need government o save us with another ****ty bill.

    Never have I seen legislative action that reveals such clear disdain for the human dignity of the most vulnerable among us.

    The way the ACA was conceived and passed looks like a model of bipartisan parliamentary democracy compared to this.

    Oh, how did Justin Amash vote, btw?

    This celebratory atmosphere over stripping health care from the sick is one of the most obscene political spectacles I've witnessed.

    Since the ACA became law, the share of people in employer-based single coverage whose plans lack a limit on out-of-pocket spending has
    fallen precipitously, from 18 percent in 2010 to just 2 percent in 2016, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation and Health Research and Education Trust’s Employer Health Benefits Survey. The sharp decline in 2014 is likely primarily attributable to the new requirement, and much of the pre-2014 decline likely reflects efforts by insurers and employers to prepare for the beginning of the requirement in 2014. On the basis of these data, the Council of Economic Advisers
    estimated in December that 22 million more people with employer coverage had out-of-pocket limits in 2016 than if the prevalence of out-of-pocket limits had stayed at its 2010 level
