Note that the CBO will probably not release a score on the bill until next week, if that's what you're basing your opinion on.

Anything that repeals the individual mandate and lets states cancel essential health benefits or allow discrimination on preexisting conditions is automatically horrible.

Im torn. On one end, it would allow blue states to essentially make there own single payer options. On the other hand, people in red states get effed.

Most blue states would go miserably bankrupt if they attempted universal healthcare.

Red states would get more money though. Graham-Cassidy would basically transfer money from blue states to red states.

Repeal & Replace of Obamacare is always HP as long as its not single-payer.

What about non single-payer universal healthcare ?

No, they would have the opportunity for more money. As we've seen in the Medicaid Expansion states, Republican legislatures don't want free no strings federal government money if it's for health care for the poor.

Such as Wyden-Bennett?

[Santander]

It'll only speed us up to a fully universal system so I'm okay with it

Heighten the contradictions always works, right?

If some states had single-payer healthcare and others did not, then sick people from red states could just freeload by moving to California when they got sick instead of the status quo where they just go to the emergency room or buy insurance when they're sick and pay the paltry fine when they're healthy.

Except this takes money from big blue states and gives it to small red states. It's BS.

Yep. I'm really worried about this bill, though. I'm going to be contacting RoJo, but he never listens to me anyway.

I didn't mean it at the state level. If this bill passes, it basically throws 30 million people off of health care and increases the cost of everyone else's insurance. I don't know how Republicans can expect to get away with what will so obviously have real life implications for the majority of Americans.

They'll blame it on Obama and their loyal voters will believe them.

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

As the CBO has indicated that it will not be able to release a full score on the bill, it is impossible to precisely gauge its effects on the american people, and therefore I must oppose it.
