Huge Majority of Americans Disapproves of Trumpcare Bill
56% to 17%
A new Quinnipiac poll finds that American voters disapprove of the Republican healthcare plan by 56% to 17%, with 26% undecided. Even among Republicans support is a lackluster 41% to 24%.
Trumpcare: Triumph for the Rich, Tragedy for the Poor
$1,420
A new Urban Institute analysis finds that the typical family making less than $10,000 will lose $1,420 if the Republican health care plan passes, while the average family making $200,000 or more would gain $5,640. Vox: “It’s not surprising that cutting taxes on the rich while gutting health coverage for the poor and middle class has regressive consequences. But the numbers the Urban analysts arrive at are still shocking. People making more than $1 million a year would get an average tax cut of $51,410.”
Poll: No Consequences for Those Who Vote to Repeal Obamacare
A new poll shows Americans oppose repealing Obamacare by only three to one. This should come as welcome news to Republicans poised to back the Trumpcare bill. The vote, at press time, was set for just before the north and south poles flip and our robot overlords take power, according to the official Congressional schedule.
Unfortunately, there actually is welcome news for Republicans in the survey, which was conducted by Quinnipiac University. About half of those responding essentially said a yes vote would have no political impact for elected officials, since it either makes those polled more likely to support that person for re-election (19 percent) or would have no effect on their vote (29 percent).
Nasty House Dose
Donald’s pushing hard to drum up support for his healthcare bill,
But he’s finding there’s not a lot of conservative will on the Hill.
So they tweak a provision here,
Then bump up a subsidy there,
But no matter what they do, it’s still a bitter, bitter pill.
