    Jimmy Kimmel's 'facts' come from what the NYT describes as a "left-leaning" think tank. Maybe they're right?--but it's presented as gospel.

        But where is the rigorous "right-leaning" case for the bill? Seems Senate GOP are coming unarmed.

        It's a fact that bill does away with guarantee of essential health benefits. It's a fact GOP rushing deliberately to avoid CBO score.

        If I need chemo, I may meet my lifetime cap & won't be able to pay for it. In other words, tx for pre-existing conditions may not be covered

        If not covered, will be unaffordable for most people. Care to comment Matt?

        Even if 50% right, shouldn't the Senate wait for the full CBO scoring? Wouldn't you want all the facts?
