Trump is desperately ramming through this death trap that will rip insurance from 24M people because he fears the media will slam him for having no legislative accomplishment by the totally arbitrary and vacuous 100 day mark!WASHINGTON — White House officials, desperate to demonstrate progress on President Trump’s promise to repeal the Affordable Care Act, are pushing to resurrect a Republican health care bill before his 100th day in office next week.
Some members of the president’s team have grown consumed by that deadline, worrying that appraisals of the president’s tenure will be brutal and hoping that a last push on health care might bring a measure of salvation.

So callous, vain, and petty.
And what's in the bill? It's awful but moron Trump, who has never uttered a substantive and coherent sentence on healthcare, said this gem to demonstrate his continual cluelessness: "The plan gets better and better and better and it's gotten really really good and a lot of people are liking it a lot."
The plan is to allow states to end protections for pre-existing conditions by allowing insurers to price-discriminate against them. Underwriting is back. If you have the bad luck of having cancer, or a fat baby, too bad, Trump will send your premiums through the roof. There are high risk pools, and they have never worked anywhere they have been tried.
