    After Democrats ramming Obamacare into law with only 60 votes after insufficient hearings, insufficient bipartisan outreach, and insufficient transparency

    Precedent.

    I'm no fan of the republicans. The whole "replace" part was moronic. Just repeal would have been great. They passed that numerous times.

    In spite of all this, I see the republicans gaining seats in the senate. All it takes is ONE.

    The repeal bit was never gonna happen. Too many of their voters are on Obamacare.

    They won on the promise of repeal.

    I mean, why vote for a democrat who claims to be republican when you can vote for the genuine article?

    Well, here is Schumers out reach for the Democrats to help.

    "Schumer wants to make sure two aspects of the Affordable Care Act remain intact: Obamacare subsidies and insurance company bailouts."

    Too damn bad the Rhinos didn't kill this damn shit when they really had a chance, but here we are.

    I don't give a dame where you are in the health care debate, but two things should not occur.

    1. The federal government defining what the product is, that private companies offer for sale to the public. Forcing them to rely on subsidies rather than sound business practice for a profit.

    2. Force people to buy the above product under threat of penalty, rather than allowing them to meet their needs to cover risks as they see fit. Actually this is just another subside to the insurance industry, forcing the public to buy their product that isn't designed to meet their need.

    If you want the Federal Government to take on the business of healthcare, why the hell do we need to commingle and corrupt the operation of an entire industry, that does not even provide the end product, Health Care? Then compound this error by forcing the public subsidize the corrupted industry that can no longer ever be expected to produce a profit and exist on it's own merit in the eyes of public?

    Congressman,

    I am not pleased to see the Affordable Care act was not repealed. But so be it. I see Schumer wants to double down on this egregious legislation.

    "Schumer wants to make sure two aspects of the Affordable Care Act remain intact: Obamacare subsidies and insurance company bailouts."

    I would like you to consider the logic in this matter. What should not happen and why it make no sense.

    1. The federal government defining what the product is, that private companies offer for sale to the public. Forcing them to rely on subsidies rather than sound business practice for a profit.

    2. Force people to buy the above product under threat of penalty, rather than allowing them to meet their needs to cover risks as they see fit. Actually this is just another subside to the insurance industry, forcing the public to buy their product that isn't designed to meet their need.

    If you want the Federal Government to take on the business of healthcare, why the hell do we need to commingle and corrupt the operation of an entire industry, that does not even provide the end product, Health Care? Then compound this error by forcing the public subsidize the corrupted industry that can no longer ever be expected to produce a profit and exist on it's own merit in the eyes of public?

    Due to the affordable care act, my wife and I have already lost the health Care insurance I had as compensation for 35 years of work. You can not fix this. We can not buy insurance like we lost. You can not fix that either. We can not even buy insurance that a local doctor will accept. I can not thank you for that either.
    But I sure hope you see some gross errors in this.

    Regards,
    MarAzul


    The above also sent the the Oregon Senators.
