| The race for America’s Next Top Jerk continues to get tighter after this week in Washington. And if politicians are going to continue acting like they’re fighting for an Elite modeling contract and the cover of Hates Poors Weekly, we’re going to continue recapping them as such. So what drama unfolded this week?
Trump (Doesn’t) Care
The Republicans revealed their long-awaited replacement of the Affordable Care Act, and it is...terrible. It’s just like Sheree on Real Housewives of Atlanta talking up her big fashion show, and then everyone gets there to find no actual clothes. Only here, clothes are reasonably priced health plans for Americans who need insurance.
This new plan is being called the American Health Care Act, Trumpcare, Ryancare, DiePennilessInTheStreetCare, and according to Congress’ official website, the “World’s Greatest Healthcare Plan of 2017.” Trump would prefer we don’t call it Trumpcare, which is probably only the second time he didn’t want his name on something (after Tiffany).
What actually is in this shiny new healthcare-reform bill? Mostly higher prices, cuts on women’s health services, and fewer options for low-income Americans. For now, some aspects of the Affordable Care Act will remain, like being able to stay on your parents’ plan until you are 26. Medicaid will remain mostly the same until 2020, and you cannot be denied coverage for pre-existing conditions.
The biggest issue is that this bill will make health insurance even more unaffordable, by cutting the tax credits that helped low-income customers pay their premiums. Conversely, people with such high income that they previously didn’t qualify for tax breaks would now get them. You know, so they can keep up with their Mar-a-Lago membership dues. |
