Only Four GOP senators moral enough to reject AHCA??

[Sunstone]

Good thing Medicaid gets cut by 800 billion to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy.

I predict the high scorer will.

That's cheating!

The reason these four Republican senators did not reject the new proposal for wealthy health care Bill is not for moral reasons.

They wanted to completely trash the previous Obama Health Bill and send everybody out in the cold but the reach with no affordable health care for the middle class nor the poor. Medicare would be secured on the Barbecue spit.

The middle class and the poor are not capable of tax credits. It was well documented that a income of $42,000 would pay the full bill and the rich would get tax breaks.

Exactly. The four dissidents consider the new proposal not draconian enough. They want to completely erase the ACA and privatize the entire system.

You muist've missed much of this thread.
In defense of Obamacare, some posters have deflected the issue I raised.

You will do what you think best.

They did not deflect your issue but disagreed with you. No one here has asserted the ACA can't be improved which is your assertion. Disagreeing with your points is not the same as asserting it's perfect.

The real question to me is whether or not selfishness is moral or not.

Of course they didn't deny it.
They didn't even address it...changing the subject instead.

The real question to me is whether or not selfishness is moral or not.

Nah....a loaded question is never the real question.
I'm sure that both sides consider themselves moral.
(But some believe only their own side is.)
Both sides have their selfish interests, eg, a lower personal
burden vs subsidizing their own health insurance. And some on
both sides even look only at what they believe is best for us all.

Personally, I'll be affected very little by whatever plan is passed or not.
And currently it's just a proposal for the purpose of hammering out
something different which could actually pass congressional muster.
What form will it eventually take? I don't know.
I just hope for something better than Obamacare.

Btw, I heard on NPR yesterday (finally!) about the class of people I
know who pay tax penalties for losing the insurance they had before
Obamacare. Kudos to them for that.
