    In Case You Missed It:
    The Senate voted 51 to 48:
    1. To end coverage for preexisting conditions, veterans benefits, and aid to rural hospitals.
    2. To remove discrimination protection for women in healthcare.
    3. Against the provision allowing children to remain on their parent's insurance till the age of 26.
    4. To cut off funding for the Child Health Insurance Program (CHIP).
    5. Against ACA contraceptive coverage and maternity care provision.
    6. To direct committees to send budget legislation to defund and repeal the Affordable Care Act.

    For those who get health insurance through work, no pre-existing conditions. Lifetime caps for coverage are back for everyone.
    Real and disastrous actions are being taken that will affect more than just the 20-30 million people who will lose their health care coverage and the 3 million people who will lose their jobs.
    Despite their assertions of this being an action to "repeal and replace," no viable alternative plan has been proposed.

    The House of Representatives voted 227-198.

    Congratulations idiots and Welcome to the Corporate States of America.

    • Tom Price specifically. You know omg, the guy who bought shares in Big Pharma days before the stock jumped 400%...kona
    • Then, actively traded in health-related stocks while at the same time drafting and moving legislation forward that could affect those stocks prices...kona
