B ... bu .... but Trump was going to be the "working man's" billionaire friend candidate who was going to stick it to the elites I thought?

What a wonderful Medicare plan these Republican boneheads have come up with, of course as per always it screws the lower + middle class in favor of the mega-rich.

Those desperate people earning more than $5 million/year get a nice $250k tax break as a result of the plan though. Can't have those folkes hurting too much right, Trump?

I think I saw on another story they said it would be breaks for like 350 people (but I can't find that story now). So, I mean, you could also come up with the headline from when Obamacare started:

350 forced to pay for health insurance for 22 million people

Think about that... 350 people are rich enough to pay for the health care of 22million human beings and you are trying to spin it as a good thing that they won't do that now?

22 million humans.... being cared for by 350 people without actually putting a dent in the fact that they are multi.... multi.... multi.... billionaires.

I sure hope none of those 22million people were nice folks, must feel good at night knowing that a group so small you could fit them on one of their yachts can buy a few more yachts and sail them through a literal ocean of uninsured people now.
