The Balance Sheet for Republicans After Big Health Vote
Gerald Seib of the WSJ points out that the winners in the passing of the Republican healthcare bill in the House by a 4 vote margin are Speaker Ryan who never wanted the job in the first place, and president Trump who showed he could cajole Republicans into getting it passed because he likes winning. Now comes the hard part says Seib, when it goes to the Senate- House conservatives are not going to be happy when they find major changes they dislike. If the bill clears the Senate in a modified version Republicans will now have to own any issues with healthcare, including says Seib things that may not work out for pre-existing conditions- or for groups that are disadvantaged, including older people.

The Obama U.S. health care law, the Affordable Care Act of 2012, and public support- 2012-2017
03/23/2012
An average of major public opinion polls compiled by Real Clear Politics website shows 50.5% of Americans opposed the U.S. health care law in March 2012. By 2017 with high premiums and high deductibles the Obama Affordable Care Act was not seen by middle class as the solution to healthcare needs, though it helped the uninsured and the poor with subsidies. The Republican plan of Speaker Ryan and the House was seen as not sensitive to the needs of low income older Americans even as it sought to bring down premiums. As one middle class American, Mr. Riffle, in a 2017 survey by the Washington Post put it- the problem was the high cost of medical care in the U.S. and pricing of healthcare, until members of Congress used the plans on the insurance exchanges not much would happen to benefit most people.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
