Possibly 24 million will lose their healthcare coverage (the amendments might lower this)
What implications does it have for ME?

Awful implications for ME patients but...though it has passed the House, it will never get through the Senate with the provisions it has.Possibly 24 million will lose their healthcare coverage (the amendments might lower this)

Elaborate?Don't believe the hype.
Elaborate?
So people should die or get chronically ill because they lacked the foresight on the allocation of finance in their life?Isn't that 24 Million partly due to People being forced to have coverage? With the mandate gone, sure there will be some who Chosen Not to have coverage. Which I think you be able to do as an American!
i don't agree but hopefully your correct. They may also adjust a few things, merge the bills then send to donald's desk, making it not quite as bad but close enoughit will never get through the Senate with the provisions it has
This could be disastrous for us. My husband is self-employed and I am too sick to work. We bought insurance thru the ACA exchange (Covered California)--$1900/mo for the two of us. That is already a lot of money, but we don't want to "choose to have no coverage."
Nearly all older people have pre-existing conditions.
In a few years I'll be eligible for Medicare, but Trump et al want to cut back on that, too.

And exclaiming 'fake news' & relying on non-evidenced based ideoblogs, is mentally lazy, also.Words found in politics or news media are shiny objects, meant to distract. It has been so since the first cave-man found that they could rule a handful by club, hundreds by charm. "Believe none of what you read and half of what you see" That was written 150 years ago; post Internet, change 'half' to 'almost none'.

The rest of the world fails to understand why the mentally ill won't be able to get healthcare coverage, yet they will now be allowed to own guns.Jeez if I already had ME or cancer or MS or something I'd still like to think a completely unrelated broken leg would be covered and patched up. Or complicated food poisoning, all unrelated.
Eta: the entire rest of the world fails to understand why guns are protected as a divine right and yet healthcare... meh
I agree with Sushi. This will never pass the Senate and become law. This passed the house by like one or two votes -- it barely made it. And when the public hears more about it, and the heartless nutjobs who voted for it hear from their constituents -- it'll be toast.I am literally praying that you are right @Sushi and that this bill will be dead on arrival in the senate or myself and just about everyone I know will lose health coverage next year.
