Baker: Massachusetts would get screwed by Republican health-insurance plan

State would lose billions in coming years, the Herald reports. And that doesn't include the risks to people who would no longer be able to get coverage at all.

Chilling. What a horror show.

We should take it on back to the Articles of Confederation and keep our tax dollars here in the colony of Massachusetts. Federalism seemed like a good idea at the time, but we clearly made a huge mistake.

But Trump doesn't care or hasn't considered whether Trumpcare or Trump's budget buries Massachusetts and ruins Baker's re-election.

Here's where Trump puts the money; the war industry, the domestic policing agencies, the fossil fuel industry, Wall Street, billionaires and the national security and surveillance agencies.

Oh Charlie, just call your Republican friend Donald in the Oval Office and tell him of our predicament, oh wait - you managed to screw that up. Can good-time Charlie get anything right?

A lot of people make a nice middle class living as administrators for these programs. Trump looks and says they are never voting for me so why are we propping them up.

What does Trump get out of Baker? Baker is another "Media's Favorite Republican", good copy when they want to show how extreme Trump is.

We still pay a lot of money so that southern shitholes don't have to pay local taxes to take care of the barest of things.

But, hey, I hope they are enjoying their bloated dead burned up cattle now that even Drumpf won't spend a dime of his Mar A Lardo money to help anyone but his own fortunes and Putin.

and Trumpcare. We already have this thing called Medicaid that the states can decide for themselves how to implement. For MA, RomneyCare worked well, other states, especially in the south, go the opposite route and offer next to nothing,including greatly restricting Medicaid. That's their business.

Or we could just cover everyone like rational, decent countries do who are interested in living longer and saving money at the same time.

Medicaid. Rural, Southern Bubba, the toothless wonder, put his money where his mouth is with his Trump vote. Pass the popcorn.

If you plant zucchini seeds, you get zucchini.

And if you elect Republicans, poor* people get screwed.

That wacky unpredictable cause-and-effect!

Poor people get screwed? The main beneficiaries of the increased dollars ACA pumped into healthcare spending (at 18% of GDP and rising) are those in the healthcare sector.

The more money the USA spends on healthcare, the better for MA.

Baker is simply a do-nothing fake Republican! What has he done for the people here since he's been elected? Nothing! He's just filling a corner seat to keep the Democrats happy in the legislature. What the hell does he know about how Trump's healthcare plan would effect people in this state. It can't be any worse than what ObamaCare has done! This fake Republican should have run as a Democrat!

I'm not in love with the guy but he was CEO of Harvard Vanguard.

I find it interesting that we have difficulty balancing the state budget every year Baker is in office and that'll only get worse if Trump's or Ryan' budget goes through.
