    I have no idea what the Senate healthcare bill will do.
    If it is bad, my Senators and Congressman will not vote for it.
    If it is good, my Senators and Congressman will not vote for it. They don't seem to really give a shit that health insurance is no longer available in some counties.
    Only one even mentions current concerns, Russians! Russians Russians, Russians!
    Damn! I would like to hammer that fucker! (Wyden) Whoops! I best not, I don't want to set any of the feeble off.

    Hmmmm....if I thought you were truly serious I'd probably lend you the hammer, but only if you promise a twofer and kneecap Blumenauer while you're at it.......then we switch places and go visit McConnell and Ryan. That's a fair deal, correct????

    Ryan in not high in my estimate of Congressman, and even lower compared to some actually good speakers. McConnell is losing ground.
    Oh, I would like to agree.

    The current president has nothing to do with Reed writing the bill from scratch in the final days, in private. The president had no clue what was in it. Pelosi didn't either.

    Obviously (especially since that never happened). What does that have to do with anything?

    Horseshit.

    So the president outright lied. "If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor."

    He thought that was in there, but it wasn't. So obviously your version of events just didn't happen.

    He should have read the bill, except it wasn't written until the last few days.

    You had to pass it to read it and know what was in it. Such a rush job.

    You know he admitted that it was flawed and needed work as soon as he signed it right? He said it was a start....actually Obama came into office saying that it would take at least 30 years to straighten out the system and there was no quick fix....

    Who cares? That's not relevant to barfo's completely spun version of the events.

    perspective...Obama wasn't a perfect prez but he was pretty honest when it came to this issue.....with a zillion posts here about healthcare I'd say people care.

    She's cute so she should live..... Fuck Obamacare though, let's just do single payer since we print money as we see fit anyway.

    This Republican thing has GOT to be a bigger disaster than Obamacare

    Damn! Obama said it would take 30 years to fix it! Hell, it took me more than 30 years to earn my healthcare, I wish he would have eliminated it in the 30th year instead of the first to go.
    Geez, the forked tongue bugger was still saying, "If you like your insurance, you can keep your insurance" after it was announced that mine was gone.

    The trouble with that is, they can deny you care by what ever rules they make. For example, check out the rules for Oregon denying treatment for cancer.

    you could have kept your insurance....you just would have to pay for it...your company screwed you over and they didn't have to. Capitalism works that way

    If you can design a system where unlimited medical care is available at a reasonable cost, I'm pretty sure everyone would be on board.
