Seers out there, what's the future for healthcare in America? This is scary stuff
I see that the Senate Republicans think they have a clever plan that they can get through the Senate. I see Obama not happy at the end of August which probably means there will be something passed.
This maliciousness will be a foundation of the backlash against them. Meanwhile there are indictments and warrants coming.
Is it with regards to health care? Because I just saw THIS online: https://www.truthexaminer.com/2017/05/jason-chaffetz-files-bill-to-cut-president-off-barack-obamas-presidential-pension/
That's right, Jason Chaffetz just filed a bill to take away Obama's pension!
The backlash against the Republicans will be extreme when it finally comes. The party will shrivel to a tiny fringe group. It's a while off. But a time will come when people will hide the fact that they or their parents were Republicans.

Subject: Health Care Bill

The Health care Bill is of itself not central to what is going on in America, at the moment, although it is important. The scanning I am getting is that whatever is passed, (it will get modified) it will not be as it is, or what they want. But bad enough. The issue I am picking up is the long term causes of the Health scam bill, and the collapse of State funded health care systems, under financial pressure, and right wing political administrations. Not good. I see, later in this term, a real mess about health care, and the poor and the disabled in America are going to suffer horribly. There are going to be real horror stories, of helpless poor people simply turned away from care, and the steady rise of preventable disease in poor areas. This will add to the general resentment and hostility in the American underclass, as is seen, for instance, in the "Black lives matter" campaign. It will fuse into a sort of general feeling of being oppressed and dispossessed. More fuel added to the fire. The long term problems caused are going to be severe. Obama-Care, for all its faults, was an attempt to fix things. But eventually, by 2028, the medical system in America will resemble that of a South American banana republic. The rich have health care, the poor die. Unless, and until, there is a huge change in the American System, it will get steadily worse.
Thank you Zoron. Is this going to be country wide, or will more liberal areas protect their residents. I have panic attacks and anxiety attacks about living in this country, and I'm completely trapped here. I'd like to know whether I should spend the next 3-4 years building enough financial strength to leave or whether I should settle in and stay put. I know this is personal and I'm sorry, I'm just unbelievably terrified, and it never seems to go away.
Natalie, it is going to be fairly bad, especially in the "Hate States" but some states will do the best they can to survive and keep things going. But without a federal scale health plan and legislation, it is going to be tough. I do so understand how you feel. we are going through a very bad situation here, with BREXIT, with the country horribly moving to the right. The election results, from yesterday, were awful. (its local municipal elections.) The right got a lot of power. Also, there is now a lot of official hostility to those who are resisting BREXIT. it is getting nasty. So I anticipate the same in America. It is polarisation. Best for you to get somewhere fairly liberal, like Minnesota, or Massachusetts. They will be easier to survive in, and have better health care.
Long term, think in terms of seriously getting a small holding of land, in one of these states, and going off-grid. America in 10 years is going to be a tough place. Jeanne thinks that the great lakes states are a safe bet, and she is right. I do sympathise.
Thank you so much Zoron. I really hope you are ok in Britain, I love that country. I live in Massachusetts and we were going to buy a house in the next 2 years. I always say that I want land and a garden and therefore won't buy in any city, but as a Canadian citizen I waffle between settling here and going home. My American husband doesn't see the urgency and so I'm trapped because I'd be leaving alone. Since childhood I had vivid images of living off the grid in new England, but until recently I'd never been to new England, so those childish visions have a weird resonance. Thank you again.
Yeah, I'm curious about Delaware now. Southern county is very red, but it's considered a blue state. Not sure whether to move further north or not.
