    This is a gift to the Democratic Party ... which I am sure that they will screw up.

    And surprise, the people that benefit the most (besides insurance companies) will be the very rich:

    Maybe, but the effect is the same.

    The White working class of this country, and the older Americans who believed Mr. Trump, are going to be surprised. In fact, although you wouldn't know it by the handful of Trump zealots who inhabit this forum, I bet many in both groups are freaking out. What you posted, OP, illustrates what's happening very well. So-called "reforms" under Trump and the Republican Congress are designed to benefit the rich and huge corporations at the expense of the middle class and the poor. That's a fact, it isn't a made-up fake news story. Many of the campaign promises made by Trump consist of no more than his litany of lies, and it is no accident that Trump's picks for his administration, the few selections he has made, are largely made up of billionaires and far-right pols that have called for years for the destruction or castration of the agencies Trump picked them to head.

    Some of you that are Trump fellow travelers who still believe the crap being sprayed across the web pages of Breitbart "News" and Fox News that are falling for the billionaire corruption play by Trump are going to end up embarrassed and foolish for doing so.

    I wonder if the Trump voters would actually stop voting for Trump after seeing/feeling the impact of this. Maybe they are OK with losing healthcare as long as those "other people" lose it also.

    I doubt it for most of them, voting against self interest is the norm for GOP voters.

    Trump voters are idiots and they don't even realize they are idiots.
