Medical disinsurance bill

jeudi 11 mai 2017 à 02:00

The House of Representatives passed an even worse version of the SCROTUS medical disinsurance bill.

It seems they papered over the denial of coverage to people with preexisting medical conditions with a limited amount of funds to cover some of them.

Then they rushed it through to deny the opportunity for informed public criticism. There was no emergency here. Any legislator who rushes a controversial change for no urgent reason is trying to screw the public.

It is foolish and misleading to call that bill "Trumpcare". The troll tries to shock us, but in some ways he is totally predictable: he will never care about Americans in general.

I have decided to call that bill "Dontcare".
