Whither Obamacare?

but from what I understand people with pre-existing conditions get thrown under the bus as there's insufficient funding for the risk pools.

Are you just taking Pelosi's word for it?

No. From the link I posted:

States would also be able to allow insurers to charge sick people more, potentially making coverage unaffordable for some.

Are you contending that people with pre-existing conditions are not going to be thrown over the bus, or is this just a "it's something Pelosi said, so it must categorically be false" troll?

Fuck 'em,  Jake.  Should've been born in another state.  And wealthy.

Looks like rape may be on the table as another pre-existing condition that can justify denial of coverage or higher premiums: http://www.cnn.com/2017/05/04/health/pre-existing-condition-rape-domestic-violence-insurance/

Turner was a health insurance agent who asked insurance underwriters she worked with whether rape survivors would get coverage. She said the underwriters told her no. Medical treatment associated with rape made the person too high a risk.

...

The Affordable Care Act changed that. And it ensured that tests for HIV and sexually transmitted diseases, plus domestic and interpersonal violence screening and counseling, would be completely covered by insurance companies.
That may not be the case in the future. Under the current bill, states could seek waivers that would let insurers sell plans that don't include all the essential health benefits mandated by the ACA.

Are you privy to some magic source of funding the rest of us have never heard of?  Does Trump have some leprechauns stashed away with pots of health care gold to save the day?

I really really want to believe that GOPtards are just folks with different philosophical ideas and not a pack of vindictive cretins, but these kind of comments don't really help.

They're only vindictive cretins when niggers and cunts are involved.  Duh.

They're only vindictive cretins when niggers and cunts are involved.  Duh.

... and insufficiently wealthy white people. Some of them are going to get hit by this too.

That's their base, man; they don't count.  Do you not remember the election?  These people are willing to die and get rid of their own healthcare, if it means undeserving niggers and cunts don't get all that free mad dope cash they have not earned.

The psychology of punishment is key to why people vote against their own interests

Kind of hoping the tax cut goes through.  So I can dedicate a piece of it to the next Democrat that runs in NJ-3.

That's not your home district, is it?

Hell no that's Eagles country.
