What's In The Health Care Bill Changes Unveiled Late Last Night

10:38 AM EDT
Late last night, after scuttling a planned vote on a bill to repeal the Affordable Care Act, Republicans huddled behind closed doors in the basement of the Capitol to attempt to hash out their difference. What resulted was the release of a new amendment to the bill and the ultimatum that Republicans must vote for the legislation Friday or suffer the political consequences. new amendment [ https://rules.house.gov/sites/republicans.rules.house.gov/files/115/policymngr-amdt.pdf ] [ the ultimatum [ http://talkingpointsmemo.com/dc/obamacare-repeal-vote-ultimatiim ]
Passage is far from certain, as conservative and moderate Republicans alike express deep misgivings about the original bill and its last-minute changes—which will allow states gut the rule that insurance companies cover 10 Essential Health benefits, delays a Medicare tax on the wealthy for five years, and allocates an additional $15 billion for states to help cover maternity, mental health, and substance abuse costs.
The House plans to pass the bill after just four hours of debate on Friday, having already waived a rule that they take at least an entire day to read a revised bill before holding a vote. Though the Congressional Budget Office released an updated score of the bill on Thursday that took into account previous amendments—and found they would achieve $186 less in deficit reduction while still leaving 24 million people without health insurance—there is no way lawmakers will see an analysis of the final legislation by the time they vote.
Here are the changes released late Thursday night:
1. The amendment would roll back the Affordable Care Act's Essential Health Benefits mandates. This one is the biggie, and it was what conservatives were pushing for before President Trump put an end to negotiations. It tampers with the law's requirement that insurers offer plans that include 10 broad coverage areas and turns the responsibility over to the states to establish their own essential health benefits standards for the purposes of what plans are eligible for the GOP bill's tax credits.
However, as health care experts like University of Michigan Law School professor Nicholas Bagley and Washington and Lee health law specialist Timothy Jost have pointed out, the text appears riddled with errors and hasty policy-making. For one, it sets this transition for 2018, meaning states would have only a few months to establish their own essential health benefits before insurers must submit their plans. The amendment also appears to create for Republicans their own King v. Burwell problem, in that, if read plainly, consumers could only use tax credits on plans that adhere to states' essential health benefits standards, leaving no back-up for consumers if states fail establish their own standards.
"If [the amendment] becomes law, the individual insurance market will likely collapse nationwide in 2018," Bagley said.
2. The amendment throws more money, to the tune of $15 billion, at the legislation's Patient and State Stability Fund for states to set up coverage for maternity, mental health, and substance abuse care. It is believed those areas of care, all mandated by the ACA, would be the first to go if the Essential Health Benefits were dismantled. Republicans were already beginning to see nasty headlines that they were stripping away the federal requirement for that care.
3. As the major pay-for for all these changes, the amendment delays the repeal of the so-called Medicare tax -- a 0.9 percent tax on those making $200,000 or more individually -- by six years, which would raise an additional $50 billion in revenue, according to Jost. Republicans will need this, not just for the $15 billion for maternity and mental health services but for the changes to Essential Health Benefits mandate. By removing those standards, it is believed that insurance will get a lot cheap because plans will be much more meager. The upshot is that more people will be able to afford it, even with Republicans' paltry tax credits, and the government will be spending more on the tax credits than anticipated under the original legislation.

by Jennifer Jacobs
and Shannon Pettypiece
March 24, 2017, 8:03 AM PDT March 24, 2017, 8:26 AM PDT
But Trump says ‘yes’ when asked if Ryan should remain speaker
Legislation advances toward crucial House vote on Friday
https://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2017-03-24/white-house-said-to-prepare-to-blame-ryan-if-health-bill-fails
let's see ... trump cancelled the meeting with Mr. Comey and the other man that are investigating all his good friends with big money in Russia....
he doesn't want the public to know about it .... .. How come we don't have a special prosecutor? .... for sure we need one now .....
yeah and I heard all these folks saying That trump is killing people and that of course, he won't pay .. but the
republican party will ..........for years and years to come .. let's hope so ..
I heard all that on this hard right real clear politics website & some guy known as the dumbest man on the internet ..
so we'll see ...
the thing is we've been hearing all week and last how trump and the bowel breathers were going to blame it all on ryan ...
I don't feel too bad about it .. as I don't care for him either ... but .... the thing is it's always good to see how these criminals work and they are criminals .... never forget it .. they've been taking from people their entire lives and now they intend to dismantle our government and clean up from everyone but the 0.01 percent
they'll get theirs .. like always .. we will lucky to find a dr. to deliver our baby ..
that's how they work ... 'they decide before hand who is going to take the blame here for the failure (if that is what happens) .. why of course it'll be paul ryan .. they were already after him .. so this will just make it juicier! ... .. . I have no respect for them at all!
0h .. I missed that part .. I'll go back and look.. up at the top it says that?
what is it like an perv paper or something or enquirer?
never seen a papper say that that's murdoch I guess?
yeah ... 'he's the president' .. and He's the one being investigated by the F.B.I.
for colluding with Russia to become 'that president' ...
I was just responding to one of the stories - top right on your paper .. ;)
0h hey no. You're lying again.. Obamacare is NOT "failing big time" read the CBO's report !
the president has always been extremely jealous of President Obama.
don't you remember? .. why do you think he waited eight years to run when he is almost sventy something? ... it wasn't his choice ... .. grumpy and stone face told him ... "You don't have a chance running against Obama ... " wait and see what comes as .. you will surely lose if you would be so stupid to run against Obama .... and he listened to them .. and he knew deep in his heart that it was so .. I mean really, let's face it! could anyone in our world have won over Obama ? ... I don't think so or should I say .. I haven't seen them yet .. male or female ...
his eyes get funny when he talks about Obama they seem to get real real small .. just like his body does when he must read something ...
he's simply jealous .. and being jealous of Obama is .. well ...........god if you're trump? .. well it can only hurt you and it did .. He now thinks he can hurt Obama ---he will find out he can't .. not legally anyway.
and if that would happen ... you would hear the laughter all the way in LA... you really do need a community
organizer about now to straighten you out .. your guys aren't getting anywhere ... maybe tomorrow ..
"a source" ....ah napy has never been able to control himself ... lol!
it's all hate . ... that's all he ever says .. and you follow right along. You hate democrats and
black people and Mexican People and Muslim people and that is why trump leads you by your leash ...
I can see that leash and YOU Can't HIDE IT! nor can he...
it smells even .......................before it comes
that's why I don't post much on this board anymore .. .. ewe
your smell .. and oh never mind ... anyway . .you need to go to confession .. plus soap doesn't hide hate .. .. so confess in private
to your father in heaven ...or perhaps you worship the devil .. yes that's got to be it .. convert . do it now while you have one day left!
I believe, not totally sure but I 'think' he believes that he is the 'most' convincng .. the best 'salesman ever' .. etc.. etc
.. etc.. .. so I don't think he will fire anyone ... he's dumb enough to try and joust with them .............as he did the other day - on twitter.
he's blind to himself, don't you think? yes and deaf and dumb
‘There’s a Smell of Treason in the Air’
FBI and NSA chiefs verify a Russia probe and refute the president's claims as Republicans scramble to pretend the "drip, drip, drip" hasn't started.

FBI Director James Comey and NSA Director Mike Rogers appear in front of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence at the Longworth House Office Building on Monday, March 20, 2017 in Washington, DC. (Photo by Matt McClain/The Washington Post via Getty Images)
Monday’s hearing of the House Intelligence Committee was proof positive of the absolute need for both a special prosecutor and an independent, bipartisan commission with subpoena power to conduct a full investigation of the Trump campaign’s connections with Russian intelligence — as well as Russia’s multipronged attack on our elections and Trump’s business connections with that country’s oligarchs. [ https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/20/us/politics/james-comey-mike-rogers-transcript-excerpts.html ]
And it’s proof more than ever that even if we get that prosecutor and inquiry, a free and independent press may be the only real way to ever get to the bottom of what ranking committee member Adam Schiff said may represent “one of the most shocking betrayals of our democracy in history.” [ http://time.com/4706721/comey-hearing-adam-schiff-transcript/ ]
Just as FBI Director James Comey officially revealed for the very first time (finally!) that indeed since late July the FBI has been investigating whether members of Trump’s campaign colluded with Russia’s interference with our elections, Republicans, led by committee chair and Trump enabler Devin Nunes did their best to blow smoke aimed at deflecting attention from what Trump and his team may or not have done. Instead, they asked question after question about the illegality of leaks of confidential material to the media — in particular, leaks about former Trump national security adviser Mike Flynn’s contacts with Russia.
(Note that there was agreement that leaks are illegal but no one mentioned that it’s the media’s complete and constitutionally guaranteed right to report on them. Nor was anyone asked how many times GOP members of the committee have done their own leaking.)
Trump did what he could to distract as well, firing a volley of five heated early-morning tweets [ http://www.latimes.com/politics/washington/la-na-essential-washington-updates-trump-defends-himself-on-twitter-1490012227-htmlstory.html ] just before testimony began, reiterating claims that disgruntled Democrats manufactured charges about Russia’s involvement in the election and contact with Trump aides. There were more [ http://www.cnn.com/2017/03/20/politics/donald-trump-james-comey/ ] during the hearing itself — from Trump or someone at the White House tweeting in his name — twisting the day’s testimony by Comey and National Security Agency chief Mike Rogers. Bizarrely, the two men then were placed in the position of having to rebut Trump’s allegations while they still were in the witness seats, correcting and putting the president in his place — virtually in real time.
Not only did Comey verify that the FBI was actively investigating Trump and his associates, he also flatly denied on behalf of his agency and the Justice Department that prior to January’s inauguration now-former President Obama had ordered eavesdropping on Trump Tower. Under normal circumstances this would seem to neutralize yet another of Trump’s wacky tweet storms, this one from two weeks ago, but as we’ve learned so well, the truth has never been a barrier to the social media madness of King Donald I.
And yet, as presidential historian Douglas Brinkley told The Washington Post, [ https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/president-trump-faces-his-hardest-truth-he-was-wrong/2017/03/20/af9cabfc-0d83-11e7-9b0d-d27c98455440_story.html?utm_term=.7474ded96344 ] “There’s a smell of treason in the air. Imagine if J. Edgar Hoover or any other FBI director would have testified against a sitting president? It would have been a mindboggling event.”
But here we are, adrift in a Cloud Cuckoo Land of prevarication and incompetence in which little seems capable of boggling or driving our minds agog these days and where the truth shall not set you free but subject you to ridicule from the rabid trolls of the right.
And still there is hope. Even though neither Comey nor Rogers would reveal much of what they are discovering — continually citing the confidentiality they said was necessary to an ongoing investigation — the questions asked, despite the “no comment” answers, suggested ongoing areas of inquiry not only for investigating committees but also for the press.
For it is the free and independent media that continue to provide our clearest window into the extent of the investigation and the possible interface among the Trump campaign, Russia and the right. Late Monday, for example, McClatchy News reported: [ http://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-government/white-house/article139695453.html#storylink=cpy ]
When he told us that he goes around grabbing every-ones pussy?

US Officials: Info suggests Trump associates may have coordinated with Russians
By Pamela Brown, Evan Perez and Shimon Prokupecz, CNN
Updated 8:40 PM ET, Wed March 22, 2017
0h Noooos!
Washington (CNN)The FBI has information that indicates associates of President Donald Trump communicated with suspected Russian operatives to possibly coordinate the release of information damaging to Hillary Clinton's campaign, US officials told CNN.
This is partly what FBI Director James Comey was referring to when he made a bombshell announcement Monday before Congress that the FBI is investigating the Trump campaign's ties to Russia, according to one source.
The FBI is now reviewing that information, which includes human intelligence, travel, business and phone records and accounts of in-person meetings, according to those U.S. officials. The information is raising the suspicions of FBI counterintelligence investigators that the coordination may have taken place, though officials cautioned that the information was not conclusive and that the investigation is ongoing.
In his statement on Monday Comey said the FBI began looking into possible coordination between Trump campaign associates and suspected Russian operatives because the bureau had gathered "a credible allegation of wrongdoing or reasonable basis to believe an American may be acting as an agent of a foreign power."
The White House did not comment and the FBI declined to comment.
White House press secretary Sean Spicer maintained Monday after Comey's testimony that there was no evidence to suggest any collusion took place.
"Investigating it and having proof of it are two different things," Spicer said.
One law enforcement official said the information in hand suggests "people connected to the campaign were in contact and it appeared they were giving the thumbs up to release information when it was ready." But other U.S. officials who spoke to CNN say it's premature to draw that inference from the information gathered so far since it's largely circumstantial.
The FBI cannot yet prove that collusion took place, but the information suggesting collusion is now a large focus of the investigation, the officials said.
The FBI has already been investigating four former Trump campaign associates -- Michael Flynn, Paul Manafort, Roger Stone and Carter Page -- for contacts with Russians known to US intelligence. All four have denied improper contacts and CNN has not confirmed any of them are the subjects of the information the FBI is reviewing.
One of the obstacles the sources say the FBI now faces in finding conclusive intelligence is that communications between Trump's associates and Russians have ceased in recent months given the public focus on Russia's alleged ties to the Trump campaign. Some Russian officials have also changed their methods of communications, making monitoring more difficult, the officials said.
Last July, Russian intelligence agencies began orchestrating the release of hacked emails stolen in a breach of the Democratic National Committee and associated organizations, as well as email accounts belonging to Clinton campaign officials, according to U.S. intelligence agencies.
The Russian operation was also in part focused on the publication of so-called "fake news" stories aimed at undermining Hillary Clinton's campaign. But FBI investigators say they are less focused on the coordination and publication of those "fake news" stories, in part because those publications are generally protected free speech.
The release of the stolen emails, meanwhile, transformed an ordinary cyber-intrusion investigation into a much bigger case handled by the FBI's counterintelligence division.
FBI counterintelligence investigations are notoriously lengthy and often involve some of the U.S. government's most highly classified programs, such as those focused on intelligence-gathering, which can make it difficult for investigators to bring criminal charges without exposing those programs.
Investigators continue to analyze the material and information from multiple sources for any possible indications of coordination, according to US officials. Director Comey in Monday's hearing refused to reveal what specifically the FBI was looking for or who they're focusing on.
US officials said the information was not drawn from the leaked dossier of unverified information compiled by a former British intelligence official compiled for Trump's political opponents, though the dossier also suggested coordination between Trump campaign associates and Russian operatives.

.... I saw those posts .. and there was nothing wrong with them ..
Further!
for you to bring that to this board shows just how despicable you are!
Hear! Hear! Zab -
Trump blew himself up on New York State Real Estate, then he blew up two of his marriages. Then he blew up his casino, not once, but four times.
The one thing Trump is good at, is blowing himself up, unfortunately he is President of the United States, and the stakes are quite high, so Millions of Americans will get hurt again. But again these are the Republicans, every time they get into office, they mange to have wars that no one wants, financial crisis that screw Millions of Americans, and when compared to the real terrorist in the world compete with them on who can do the most damage.
so true .. will they ever learn? somehow I don't think so ...
but I sure hope I'm wrong!
Never left Zab .. never left ........just got quiet, heck, so did you?
but anyway, I'm always reading You and Lee... always!
on stocks and the silver too .. ;)
my eyes and ears are always on this board .. I never left, just got silent .. I did think for awhile we were not doing 'politics' .. so I thought ... you had better leave now! .. before I got into trouble with You and Zab ... ;) so I did .. but I was alwalys reading you both .. heck even you Lee got real quiet for awhile .. I wondered ... ..
Can we ever move on? The dems have a possible block in the 2018 senate elections and a possible fix in the 2020 prez election. I for one would sure like to hear more details on that than the incessant whining, "Trump's n assshole"
What 'you for one' would sure like is immaterial to most of us! You and the entire conservative any which way republican party asshole started in on Obama before he took office ... planning and executing their plan to take him down! .. and you never shut up and you still haven't .. so I hope some of us an find the energy to hound you into your grave about what a loser you picked and what a loser he is and how this loser you picked is ruining our country! WHILE cohabiting with the ENEMY! HE IS an ENEMY of our STATE!... I get bored doing it .. but by god, If I have to be only one who hasn't forgotten .. so be it! .... Obama is a very fine man! and a Wonderful President .. we were so lucky AND the whole world knows it and Misses him so much .. your swine on the other hand ? ...........is told to shut the F UP !
the best way that urp could get us to stop vomiting on him every time we saw him would be for him to get out of SIGHT! .. .. so freakin simple !
ohh How Wonderful Lee! .. .. that's a beautiful story ..
yes, I've spent some of those nights with pets on the floor
they are precious times ... then sometime .............
