I have something else to point out about Congress taking away insurance coverage for pre-existing conditions.

I have a pre-existing condition because I donated a kidney to a stranger. It not only gave him a longer, better life and more years with his children and grandchildren, but it also kick-started a "pay it forward" chain of 6 donations.

Because of Congress's vote last night, I can be denied health coverage in the future because I did this.

I did the surgery knowing it was a risk, but I didn't know I faced an additional risk from my own elected officials voting against measures designed to keep their constituents alive and healthy longer.

Teasel, I understand your feelings about Trump. He was not the peoples choice and it is a fearful time in america.
Re obamacare; I also understand your fear of coverage loss. But, obamacare has hurt as many as it has helped. My premiums tripled while my benefits were reduced by about 50%.
That said, I think we need to have a wait and see attitude. There is that remote chance he will find a way to cover those losing the obamacare with something better or at least as good. He may find a better way to manage insurance companies so they will reduce the gouging they gave others (me)
So, in essence, we shouldn`t jump the gun and think he will throw out the baby with the bathwater.
He may be heartless but there are many good Republicans and Dems left to have some say.
Hugs to you and fur faces.

No one has lost anything yet because Obama is not going to sign the Repeal and even Trump is pushing for a replacement to BE IN PLACE.

HOWEVER so far there IS no replacement plan (after 6 years of threats). So gutting the ACA would leave even more people adrift. Im glad some people are happy with that but most are not

Then there are the people who are suddenly realuzing that the ACA which they are fond of is the same as the Obamacare they voted against.

you can eff off. Nobody is lying. They voted to take Medicaid away from CHILDREN (CHIP). Nothing us in place, and they're happily taking away health care for millions of people. If that includes the VA, then that includes my dad

If you have a source for CHIP`s loss, please share.

Many people think the ACA is far from perfect... but throwing all the money away that's been spent establishing it, then spending more to pay for vouchercare, will not go down any better. It would be far better to FIX IT not trash it.

Meanwhile they threaten to turn our SS funds over to those rich people, instead of replacing what has been borrowed from it to keep it solvent.

Anyway it looks like the Repubs had a real plan..to stall the cybersnoop investigation till Trump won, then use it to throw him under the bus.
