FBI investigation of Trump Russia ties continues now with an uncompromised leader ...

@Jackjjacksonjr: I've seen this (not on CNBC), so the analysis is not out yet.

The 10% reduction is a somewhat meaningless figure, because it uses as a basis a law that was going to evolve, so it would be comparing apples to oranges. What would be more meaningful, is comparing it to what was projected to be proposed under the Hillary plan (ACA version 2).

I don't think the ACA was the right overall solution, but I think it was a good start toward eliminating some of the major issues: pre-existing conditions, and caps. In my heart of hearts, we would have a single risk pool for the entire country, that insurance countries can opt into, and then provide individual insurances policies. No one should die, because they cannot afford medical attention.

@Northwest:

I've come around to favoring a single payer system. My view I'd those that pay get a version of Medicare and those that don't get Medicaid.

Everyone covered in some form. By pay I mean taxes which replace employer based or private policies.

All the competing private plan rules, dupicstive administrstion, and shareholder and executive profits take unnecessary dollars out of the system. Never thought I would come to this viewpoint. However the bastardized ACA and whatever would amend or replace it has to cost more and provide less than signed payer.

Lifetime caps and pre existing conditions should remain things of the past. Those who want more than this new Medicare would have the option of trying to get more with supplemental insurance.

This isn't brain surgery. It's a question of blowing off health insurance company lobbyists.

@Jackjjacksonjr: Insurance companies seem to love the proposed plan, because it gives them a better opportunity to influence at the state level.

@theoneyouwerewarnedabout: Yes. He was fired

bet a few ppl on the hill a sweating now ;D

@theoneyouwerewarnedabout:

Lots of miscreants lots of places sweating now. Boo hoo.

@Jackjjacksonjr: I am absolutely in favor of that. when I heard chuck schumer this afternoon talking about how the American people will never have confidence in our justice system again unless we have a special prosecutor, I knew immediately that that was the solution. comey has just compromised himself to the point his own dept doesn't back him. so we need a special prosecutor who will reopen the Hillary email investigation and continue the trump campaign collusion investigation. As schumer said the people will not be able to have faith in our judicial system unless we do this. so lets get the show on the road.

@katielass:

✅

It will end with another round of Schumer crying 😂

@Jackjjacksonjr: No doubt. He has got to be one of the most boorish people in the US. You might recall him blasting comey for the letter in late October and today he was trying to infer that comey was fired because "he knows something".
