OT: "Almost as vile"

[Alan Baker]

Well.. ...I guess that's something.

'Mitch McConnell and his tiny cabal of fellow senators are finally ready
to unveil their plan to take away health insurance from millions of
people. The official presentation of the new bill will happen tomorrow
morning but some outlets received a preview of what it contains on
Wednesday. It sounds ever so slightly less “mean” than the House bill.'

'Another key difference between the House and Senate’s plan is that the
new bill will delay cuts to Obamacare’s Medicaid expansion provisions.
The program covers more than 70 million low-income Americans. The Senate
bill is expected to make deeper cuts into the program but they won’t
kick in until 2025, easing the worries of Senators having to face their
constituents on the issue any time soon. Federal subsidies will also be
pegged to income rather than age, which was the guideline in the House
proposal.'
