GOP Assholes in US House of Representatives Pass Horrible Health Care Bill that Will Throw Millions Off Healthcare, Kill People, Inflict Cruelty

Senator Bernie Sanders and leading Democrats are calling the Republican health care bill a death sentence for thousands of Americans. The Republicans’ proposed replacement for Obamacare narrowly passed the House Thursday, with all 193 Democrats voting no.

------------

The bill's recently added MacArthur Meadows Amendment would ditch the ACA's protections for pre-existing conditions — sexual assault being one of them.
Under the amendment, states would have the all-clear to waive the ban preventing insurance companies from denying coverage to patients based on pre-existing conditions. That means companies could also deny preventive health care services, like mammograms and gynecological exams, to these patients, which many sexual assault survivors in particular rely on following an attack.

Jason Chaffetz Doesn't Think Obama Should Get a Lot of Money for Speeches

Obama's $400,000 speech could prompt Congress to go after his pension:
WASHINGTON — Last year, then-president Barack Obama vetoed a bill that would have curbed the pensions of former presidents if they took outside income of $400,000 or more. So now that former president Barack Obama has decided to accept $400,000 for an upcoming Wall Street speech, the sponsors of that bill say they'll reintroduce that bill in hopes that President Trump will sign it. "The Obama hypocrisy on this issue is revealing," said Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee and sponsor of the 2016 bill. "His veto was very self-serving."

It's self-serving but not hypocritical at all.

This also seems kind of racist on the part of Chaffetz to go after Obama's pension.

Meanwhile, I just can't see Trump signing this law.
