My favorite blogger, in today's parlance is Neil Macdonald of the CBC. He was the CBC's Washington correspondent for a few years but he is now back home and more concentrating on Canadian subjects. But he took a look at Trumpdon'tcare yesterday. Some good bits in it, one in particular:
Trumpcare will see some Americans lose health coverage because... 'freedom': Neil Macdonald - CBC News | Opinion... Under Trumpcare, which is all about freedom, people will be free to buy no insurance. They will also be free not to be able to afford insurance. Because, well, liberty.
But anyone who has insurance and lets his or her coverage lapse, for any reason (even losing a job) shall face a 30 per cent premium increase if that person tries to renew.
Trumpcare actually directs insurance companies to tack on the big surcharge, not that they need convincing.
This way, the government shifts the job of penalizing from the IRS to the insurance companies, thereby replacing slavery with liberty. If it's government screwing you, like Obama did, that's socialism. If it's a corporation screwing you, and profiting in the process, well, that's the American way. Freedom. ...
It says that 18,000,000 will not have coverage. You do know that is 12,000,000 gain in people getting coverage over obamacare which in year 10 left 30,000,000 plus uninsured. (remember in 2008 there were only 28,000,000 without healthcare. obamacare left more people uninsured than Bush care

You hated Obamacare, alright we know. If you thought it was wrong for millions to be left off insurance under Obama, surely you also think it is wrong to leave millions off under Trump's plan, right?
ObamaCare saved my life, says a lifelong evangelical Republican.
North Carolinian*John Thompson, "a*pro-life, evangelical Christian and a Republican voter for 28 years:"
[Cancer]*has no party affiliation. It struck Thompson after he lost his job and his insurance in 2013. As he fought cancer and worked to find another job, the GOP leadership in the General Assembly slashed his unemployment benefits.
“Obamacare saved my life,” Thompson said at a “Save My Care” rally in Greensboro on Wednesday.
Thompson said he feels betrayed by the party he has supported for most of his life.
“For 40 years, I paid my taxes, worked to support my family, gave to my church, and I contributed to my community,” Thompson said. “But in my hour of need, when my back was against the wall, in the richest country in the history of the universe, where was the GOP for me? If it was up to those guys, and they could have done to Obamacare then what they’re getting ready to do to it now, shoot, I’d probably be laying dead in a ditch somewhere today.”
The last time unemployment was cut, was in 2010... .... Democrats controlled the House, Senate and White House.. they cut the Unemployment benefits extenetion in the 2011 FY Budget. (the last budget that Harry Reid allowed to be passed until FY 2016.
He said, "the GOP leadership in the General Assembly slashed his unemployment benefits." That's the STATE government, not the federal government. The NC STATE government, governor, General Assembly and state Senate were GOP controlled at that time.
You should really get your facts straight before spouting off like that and making a fool of yourself.
Bottom line - states control the timing and granting of unemployment benefits.
That life-long Republican knows who screwed him.
ObamaCare saved his life and he KNOWS Republicans intend
to screw the American public with TrumpCare.
I really don't consider myself uneducated, especially about insurance, and my deductible tripled in the last 3 years. Three years ago it was 250.00, today it is 3000.00. You don't work anymore...so you are not seeing the impact of Obamacare on some folks employer sponsored insurance. When Obama said "skin in the game" I knew there were going to be more out of pocket...I just did not expect to become skinless for the new mandates Skin in the game only applied to the middle class...I guess the "uneducated ones" are paying the tab for everyone else.
