probably. why? because you can listen to pundits on tv who defend president trump, no matter what he says, whatever lie he tells, or you can listen to the american medical association, the aarp, doctors, nurses, everyone with a stake in the health care system came out opposed to this bill, because it will drop coverage for millions of people. doctors said people with preexisting conditions, asthma, basic health care conditions, like asthma, any kind of condition that was a preexisting condition will now be able to be discriminated against. so, you know, pundits on tv can tell you things like, oh, it was so bad before. this bill got worse in order to pass the house. it got worse by beyond dumping people off health care, 24 million people, then being particularly cruel to people with preexisting conditions.
you go in to i let you finish, let me finish. $800 billion will be cut which affects children and women. jonathan, let me finish. when you go into doctors offices and they have the big sign, we do not accept medicaid, there are millions of people who are on medicaid. insurance coverage is one thing. care is a different thing. this is a bill that will bring care not just coverage. it will throw the cbo, the kaiser family foundation, the people who are rhetorically talking about the free market, those people have the facts. who is that is who am i hearing on that side? probably. why? because you can listen to pundits on tv who defend president trump, no matter what he says, whatever lie he tells, or you can listen to the american medical association, the aarp, doctors, nurses, everyone with a stake in the
republicans can actually get this to the finish line, and get it done, if it doesn t make people s lives better, if they feel like their health care is worse, or they lose doctors, and prices don t go down, and that s what the congressional republicans are guaranteeing, without being able to offer any numbers yet, if none of that happens, they re going to be in a world of hurt. so are americans whose health care won t be any better. we have a policy conundrum here. there are no projections that show us where premiums and deductibles are going to go, at the high level they are now to the low level they imagine they ll end up. j.d., the american medical association came out against this bill. they said millions would lose health insurance. it doesn t really protect preexistingtons. according to them. the aarp said it would substantially increase insurance premiums for older adults and cut medicaid for millions of

low-income seniors, children and adults with disability. this is going to impact every american, including a lot of trump voters. especially if you look at that, and if what the ama says and the aarp says, if that is correct, that hits in the heart of trump country. yeah, that s exactly right. so we don t have the cbo projection of the most recent bill. but we have it for the bill on which the most recent bill was modeled. and if you look at that projection, the evidence suggests that the people who will lose out most in that american health care act are a lot of the folks who voted for donald trump. working class and lower middle class voters, older voters, those folks may very well see their deductibles go up, and their premiums go up. this is not just a policy problem, there s obviously a significant issue of folks potentially losing access to their health care. think of the political problem, folks have always asked, what is it that s going to drive donald
