At ~1:15 ET, the GOPers in the House will likely pass the AHCA. They're doing it now because they don't want anyone to see analysis by the CBO about how bad it will be. Even employer-provided plans are at risk.To appreciate how bad the bill is, realize that they exempted themselves from it.

You’ll pay whichever is higher.

Percentage of income

2.5% of household income Maximum: Total yearly premium for the national average price of a Bronze plan sold through the Marketplace

Scenario: 63 year old is forced into early retirement, does consulting work (paying ~$60k/year) to try and tide them over until social security/medicare/retirement kicks in.

Average cost for 60 year old... 2016 - $650/month 2017 - $750/month

$700 * 24 months = $16,800

The average cost was lower in 2014-2015 when this occurred. It would be MORE expensive than $15k if it happened this year. The reality is that the individual mandate if bullshit.

ACA supporters don't think beyond their own low income and/or corporate slave experience. Entitlements for all except the "rich" (meaning anyone that has an income of more than $60k and works for themselves).

The American dream of living an independent lifestyle is dying, the ACA is a big nail in the coffin. Not that the AHCA is much better.

Judge who accused Barr of "distorting" Mueller report demands answers after reading unredacted copy Ocasio-Cortez: "I find it revealing when people mock where I came from, & say they’re going to “send me back to waitressing,” as if that is bad or shameful. It’s as though they think being a member of Congress makes you intrinsically “better” than a waitress. But our job is to serve, not rule." Rebecca J. Kavanagh (Public Defender): "Roger Stone was just released on a $250,000 personal assurance bond.He does not have to put up one penny. Just to promise to pay that amount if he does not return to court.My clients are held in jail on $500 bail they cannot afford for stealing a bar of soap." Robert Reich: "Senate Republicans have refused to vote to reopen the U.S. government, but have no problem voting to lift sanctions on a Russian oligarch. That should tell you a lot about their priorities." This shutdown is not bad governance: it's an act of sabotage that's happening in front of our eyes. Paul Ryan now enjoys the peace of mind that when he turns 50—in less than two years—he will enjoy a defined-benefits pension of about $79k annually for the rest of his life, funded by the same taxpayers whose Social Security he's been trying to cut or privatize his entire career. In the TAX PLAN they put in: An abortion law reclassifying life at conception. A clause to drill oil in Alaska’s arctic wildlife preserve. Pulled the mandate for the ACA. 13 million lose insurance.
