The GOP leadership lost the race to get repeal through before reality caught up with their blatant lies: Expect the CBO to estimate large coverage losses from the GOP health care plan - Brookings.edu

I saw some of the Sunday talk shows and the shills we out in force. The level of dishonesty on display was amazing.

Given the detail of previous CBO estimates, I expect that up to 30 million people would lose coverage under the GOP plan (yes, more people than have gained coverage under Obamacare). The Brookings estimate is very conservative.

A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.

Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich
