[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are trying to bribe their colleagues, particularly Collins and Murkowski. How insulting.[/quote]
Yea, that's really "fair and equitable".  If you have to bribe these folks maybe there's something wrong with the bill?[/quote]
Obama bribed the last holdouts for his Obamacsre disaster. It's politics as usual.[/quote]
But Obama never touted it to be "fair and equitable".  And those red states that are getting more now only are because they declined the medicaid expansion in the first place.  Why didn't they take the medicaid expansion with ACA but are willing to do so now?[/quote]
He didn't? He went on the airwaves and announced that his new health care plan would be unfair, and prohibitively expensive, to many lower-middle class workers? I don't recall that. All I remember is his promise that we would lower premiums by $2500 a family on average, and everyone could keep their doctors and their plans. MORE people covered, with BETTER insurance, and LESS EXPENSIVE to boot! What could possibly go wrong?

And true, the red states will get more because this new plan corrects this uneven application of subsidies. (Virginia is a blue state, but will get more, BTW.) For the last few years, a greater amount of taxpayer funds went to Medicaid expanded states, and the other states had to subsidize them. This new plan sees that the freebies are distributed evenly. Much more fair.[/quote]
