The chart below illustrates the average difference in credits in 2020 for people buying insurance in marketplaces/exchanges under Obamacare and Trumpcare. The big difference highlighted here is that in addition to making it dramatically harder to buy insurance, Trumpcare doesn't factor in how costs vary from state to state.

Is it just a random coincidence that one of the few Republican Senators to come out against the bill is Sen Lisa Murkowski of Alaska?

Be careful with that last one. I'm not sure the Trump administration wants to measure their success by decrease of the national debt.
The mind hungers for that on which it feeds.

Who didn't see this coming?

The righties who pretended the economy was in shambles under Obama now tout the same numbers under a Republican President.

It'd be funny if it wasn't so sad to see them demean themselves and act so predictably.

Yeah, I read and replied to the other thread first. You have posted a perfect example of what I was talking about, and you have already talked about.

Before, disappointment. Now, everything is awesome.

OMG, Nate Silver has finally figured out why
the Left lost.

There Really Was A Liberal Media Bubble

https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/there-really-was-a-liberal-media-bubble/

They lied and kidded themselves into thinking
because they wanted it, that's what would happen.
They ignored all the things pointing to Trump.
I could have told them that 3 months ago.

A good, sensible rule of thumb is not to believe a word coming from the Golden Boy's Ministry of "Truth."

Really, you have to be an idiot to think Golden Boy or his associates have any credibility.

I have Trump on my twitter feed
Every other tweet, the planet goes WTF
His tweets are so divorced from reality
Every tweet convinces the planet Trump lives in some fantasy world.

Masochist :)

But I do enjoy Mark Hamill's rendering of the Golden Tweets (the best Tweets in the world!") in the voice of the Joker. Curiously, they make more sense coming from a homicidal maniac. He's done two that I know of.

He wouldn't know reality if it bit him on the ass.
