Newsflash, Turnip. They were working on a bi-partisan solution months ago.
I really hate this man and his constant need to feel powerful, validated, and utterly blameless.

Cutting CSR payments to get republicans and Democrats talking is fucking ridiculous. And total bullshit.

Because if Obama had never let the poor people eat cake (or have reasonable health coverage) then we wouldnt have this problem.

Everyone but himself, because personal responsibility is for everyone who isn't him.

Is there something going on in Tr.umpland besides him fucking over healthcare?
I only ask because we're stopped for lunch, Fox is on the television, and they are frothing at the mouth about the FBI getting new documents related to Loretta Lynch and Bill Clinton's tarmac meeting and a pundit is speculating this means prison for Loretta, Bill, and Hillary.

Methinks the right should be careful about wishing for prosecutions on Obstruction related to innocent meetings

I might be stuck in a box but regarding charges for medical supplies: notice what's not on your bill: nursing care, pharmacy care, phlebotomy, blood bank processing, etc. Physicians bill separately for the care they provide, everyone else who takes care of you doesnt and they get lumped in under supplies. That $60, to use dc2london 's specific example, covers all of that. It covers the person from the blood bank double checking your RH factor and confirming you need Rhogam. It covers the delivery person bringing it from the blood bank to your OB's office/the pharmacy tech bringing it to your hospital floor. It covers the nurse administering it. When you see medications, where everyone complains about how much a Tylenol costs in the hospital, that covers the people that are double checking that the Tylenol is safe for you to take, that it doesn't interfere with other medications you might be taking. Sure you could petition for the charges to be listed differently but the only way it's going to happen is if you can see a separate charge listed for your nursing care, etc. And that's never going to happen because the American Medical Association is too powerful of a lobby and they don't want nurses listed as separate professionals. The bottom line won't change, just how it's broken down or billed. I don't personally think that's the battle to be fighting when people are losing health insurance. /off soapbox This is all totally true, but the problem is that chargemasters are super secret "proprietary" information negotiated individually by facilities, so nobody can know in advance what a service or good will cost and why. The method of billing makes sense IF it is transparent, predictable and logical. I’m CA, chargemasters have to be made public. However, it’s so complex that it hasn’t led to much real change despite many efforts. We have some tech companies that use the data to provide estimates and shopping tools but they are not widely used by consumers.

Does he realize this means when shit blows up it's going to be his fault? No more blaming Obama. So when premiums go up by 40% in 2018, we can blame this squarely on Trump and Republicans. GOOD. I mean, we can. But they'll still blame Obama. Or Nancy Pelosi.
