We know that older voters, rural voters—Republican voters!—are disproportionately hit by Trumpcare. The Center for Budget and Policy Priorities lays it out.

The losses would be larger for older and lower-income consumers, and lower-income consumers would also lose help with deductibles and other out-of-pocket costs. Consumers’ costs would probably increase even more than tax credits would fall, since the House plan would likely cause individual market premiums to rise.The impact would be even more severe for people in high-cost states. Consumers in 11 high-cost states would see their tax credits to purchase health coverage fall by more than $3,000 on average — or more than 50 percent.

Here’s their high-cost states, and how much those residents stand to lose.

And that’s just for the people buying private insurance on the exchanges! Look closely at those states—almost all led by Republicans, represented by Republicans in the Senate. Do you think Alaska’s Lisa Murkowski is going to be happy to jump on board with her party’s Trumpcare?

This is before we even talk about what they’re talking about doing to Medicaid. Four Republicans, including Murkowski have already said they’re not on board with the House Medicaid proposal. Pile this on top of it and there’s little chance this bill gets 51 votes in the Senate.

UNITED NATIONS: Pakistan has handed over a dossier on India’s alleged “interference” in the country to new UN secretary-general Antonio Guterres and asked the world body to play a role in “restraining” India from such activities.

Pakistan’s permanent representative to the UN ambassador Maleeha Lodhi delivered the dossier on “India’s interference and terrorism in Pakistan” in a meeting with the UN chief here on Friday along with a letter from the Prime Minister’s adviser on foreign affairs Sartaj Aziz.

Guterres’ spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said that the meeting was held at the request of the Pakistani envoy. When asked about what was discussed in the meeting, which took place at around noon, he said he did not have “any indication” of what was discussed in the meeting.

“The dossier contains additional information and proof of Indian/RAW interference in Pakistan and involvement in terrorism particularly in Balochistan, FATA and Karachi. This is a follow up to the three dossiers, which were shared with the United Nations in October 2015,” the Pakistan foreign office said in a statement in Islamabad.

In the covering letter sent with the dossier, Aziz claimed that the arrest of “Indian RAW agent Kulbhushan Jadhav+ from Balochistan and his confessional statement admitting involvement in activities aimed at destabilising Pakistan, and support to terrorist elements vindicated Pakistan’s long-standing position about India’s involvement in such activities.”

He also claimed that India was carrying out these activities in clear contravention of the UN Charter and the resolutions of the UN Security Council on counter-terrorism and international conventions on terrorism.

Jadhav has been accused by Pakistan of planning “subversive activities” in the country. India has acknowledged that Jadhav had served with the navy but denied that he has any connection with the government.

India’s “hostile intentions” towards Pakistan were also borne out by recent statements of its political and military leadership, Aziz was quoted as saying in the letter.

So in the last 30 plus years only one Naval officer could do so much damage to Paki bums. Nice story for a new Bollywood film. Come on Pakis give some more stories.

He claimed Pakistan had made a major contribution to global counter terrorism efforts and secured significant gains in its domestic fight against terrorism.

Aziz urged the secretary-general and relevant UN bodies to seriously consider the matter in the light of information shared by Pakistan and play a role in “restraining India from these activities, which were in clear violation of international law and posed a threat to regional and international peace and security”.
