      Not good for the Dems...they have 23 seats up for re-election and the GOP has only 8 seats up. For the Dems to control the Senate after '18 would really be something close to a miracle.

        source? AFAIK the house bill was DOA in the senate.

          I'll do the heavy lifting for you...

          Having learned from their colleagues in the House that the best way — possibly the only way — to pass a grossly unpopular healthcare repeal bill is to hide the details, the Senate GOP used the cover of the Comey hearing Thursday to move the repeal along.

          While the eyes of political wonks across Washington, D.C., and the nation were glued to telecasts of former FBI Director James Comey’s testimony about his closed-door encounters with President Trump, Senate Republicans worked to fast-track their version of the American Health Care Act, the measure to repeal the Affordable Care Act that was passed by the House GOP on May 4.

          On Wednesday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., invoked Senate Rule 14, which allows a bill to bypass committee consideration and be brought to the floor for a vote. That means no hearings and no debate, and improves the prospect of a vote before the Senate leaves Washington for its August recess.

          We're not even going to have a hearing on a bill that impacts one-sixth of our economy.

                            • So Iowa is quite concerned they won't even have one insurance provider for their health exchange in 2018.



                              From the article:
                              In addition to Iowa and some counties in other states without an insurer, several states appear to be down to one insurer for next year including Alaska, Alabama, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Wyoming.

                              Blue Cross-Blue Shield plans in Alabama and Oklahoma have both indicated they intend to return, but that could change over the next few months as insurers get a better sense for their customer base and finalize their plans for next year.
                              The ACA continues to show more and more cracks. I'm not in favor of what the Republicans are peddling, either.

                              Health Insurance will be the great undoing of America. It's killing every small business owner I know.

                              i have epiphanies like that all the time. for example i was watching a basketball game today and realized pom poms are like a pair of tits. there's 2 of them. they're round. they shake. women play with them. thus instead of having two, cheerleaders have four boobs.

                              • Here is an interesting conundrum.

                                One insurance provider has a monopoly on a state and still cant make it profitable enough so they want to pull out, or just continue raising rates.

                                Whats worse is that the individuals of that state are compelled to purchase insurance from them, and now it may become possible that citizens will be out of compliance because no one is compelled to provide them the insurance they are required to have.....
                                It is wrong and ultimately self-defeating for a nation of immigrants to permit the kind of abuse of our immigration laws we have seen in recent years and we must stop it.
