The AHCA is yet another triumph of politics over policy, but maybe we can laugh about it:
To show how out of touch with reality some Republicans are, Congressman Raul Labrador (R-ID) defended his vote on the GOP health care bill by declaring “Nobody dies because they don’t have access to health care.” Watch it:

Ironically some of the biggest winners if this bill comes to pass are the young who overwhelmingly voted for HRC.Biggest losers of this bill are the elderly the majority of which voted for trump. The rich, by a close margin, voted for trump and they will win out as well.

I hope it passes. Why? There is no other way for voters to learn. If the bill gets defeated the older voters will blame the senate for the health care bill not “improving” and god forbid they could help vote in trump again. And everyone needs to be reminded that elections have consequences and there is no point in being quixotic AKA the liberals who didnt vote for HRC http://thehill.com/media/332190-maher-to-liberals-who-didnt-vote-clinton-what-do-you-say-now.
