It's hard to understand how they can claim pre-existing conditions are taken care of in the new repeal-replace that Trump wants to name TrumpCare. The ego-name is probably his main interest. It might work out okay in some states that have a Governor and legislature concerned enough to apply it where needed, but some states, and mine is one of them, will use the loopholes to benefit the rich and let the poor go to hell with very little help. All we can do is hope the constituents bring about enough pressure to keep it from passing. |

can you hold trump responsible if some states don't play fair ?
and where the states use loopholes to benefit the rich at the expense of the poor ..why blame trump or any one else
as I understand it ..the personel and the goverenor etc who run the state are voted in... via public election ? so the answer is clear.. vote them out of office

That should be stabelized at the federal level and not left to chance for the states to meddle with according to who is in power there. Trump is mostly interested in pushing that repeal through NOW. He wants "wins" on his record. He's probably not a mean guy but the people's insurance coverage is not his priime concern. |

McCAin says "No". Fingers crossed Rand Paul and Susan Collins hold firm. Senator John McCain of Arizona announced on Friday that he would oppose the latest proposal to repeal the Affordable Care Act, leaving Republican leaders with little hope of succeeding in their last-ditch attempt to dismantle the health law. Mr. McCain, who killed the previous repeal effort with his dramatic “no” vote in July, released a statement saying that he could not “in good conscience” support the latest proposal, by Senators Bill Cassidy of Louisiana and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, who is Mr. McCain’s closest friend in the Senate. “I cannot in good conscience vote for the Graham-Cassidy proposal,” Mr. McCain said. “I believe we could do better working together, Republicans and Democrats, and have not yet really tried. Nor could I support it without knowing how much it will cost, how it will affect insurance premiums, and how many people will be helped or hurt by it.” With two other Republican senators likely to vote no, Mr. McCain’s opposition to the bill could be fatal, as Senate Republicans could afford to lose no more members. Senator Rand Paul, Republican of Kentucky, said this week that he would not vote for the bill because it did not dismantle enough of the Affordable Care Act. And Senator Susan Collins, Republican of Maine, has expressed broad concerns about the legislation, strongly suggesting that she, too, would vote against it, just as she voted “no” in July. Mr. McCain has for months lamented a Senate legislative process that avoided hearings or formal bill-drafting procedures and assumed that an Affordable Care Act repeal bill could clear Congress with no Democratic votes. Those concerns were compounded by the decision of Republican leaders to press forward with a vote next week before the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office could complete a full analysis of the Graham-Cassidy legislation. The budget office is expected to estimate the cost of the bill early in the week, but could not complete an analysis of its impact on health insurance coverage or premiums by Sept. 30. www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/mccain-announces-opposition-to-republican-health-bill-likely-dooming-it/ar-AAsmomu?li=BBmkt5R&ocid=spartandhp
