Rumors of a House compromise on replacing Obamacare is a political figleaf

Rumors of a House compromise on replacing Obamacare. This "compromise" restores the essential benefits and coverage of pre-existing conditions and then allows the states to take them away. It keeps the tax relief for the rich and eliminates medicaid expansion shifting the cost to the states like $15 billion to Colorado. taxpayers... ..and still leaves 24 million (420,000 in Colorado) without insurance...and raises premiums on older Americans. What a crock. It is a political figleaf. It would be DOA in the Sentate.


Their motivations are the problem:
The House only wants to make sure its Freedom Caucus can go back to their constiuents to tell them they kept their campaign promises. The Whiite House only wants a W in their w deficient column. What both should be doing is listening to their middle and lower middle income constuents who only want lower out of pocket expenses and health insurance they can afford. This does enither and takes away insurance from most of them. How about setting a goal that meets the needs of their constiuents?
