Backlash grows against proposed bill
The biggest problem IMO is this:
"Furthermore, at least one of the country’s biggest health-care groups weighed in with caution on the proposal. The American Hospital Association, representing 5,000 hospitals and other health-care groups, argued that the process should not advance until the CBO provides a cost estimate."
The GOP leadership is determined to pass this thing by Easter. They are taking a huge risk in rushing it through with knowing what the downside is. Also the Federal budget needs to be passed by mid-April. the Democrats are not going to help GOP on this and the far right is balking on the bill as it is. So I have my doubts if it will be passed this year. And if it does gets passed, the GOP owns this. We won't know the results until next election, but based on what I've been reading it won't be pretty for low income folks.
