Because this wasn't really a "healthcare bill" it was a tax cut bill to transfer 600 billion dollars from the poor to the wealthy. It was never even about healthcare, it's about wealthy/monied interested who own the Republican party, which has somehow become the standard bearer for poor people who apparently just don't understand that their own party has it out for them.
- wahern 10y agoTechnically speaking, I think the nominal notion was to _prevent_ the transfer of $600 billion from the wealthy to the poor. In actuality, because of twisted Republican orthodoxy combined with the reality of politics, at the end of the day the approach would have resulted in $600 billion in deficit spending.
