Right now you have millions of people who have been kicked off of their plans trying to decide what to do. Do you go into the exchanges? Do you call your agent? Do you go without? There are no good choices and only higher premiums and deductibles.
This is absolute chaos.
So sad but true.
A friend of mine suggested to his nephew to run for Congress. He won. Three years later the tales of corruption are rampant, endless.Sad days.
It is time to call these people for what they are - Socialist princes, The anointed 1%. All of the Democrats are Socialist and most of the Republicans are Socialist/Fascist enablers. Look at McConnell, He gets $3 Billion for Kentucky. McCain, who graduated 3rd from last from the U.S. Naval Academy,(something that Wikipedia DOES NOT Include in their herstory), was a member of the Keating Five (Saving & Loan payolay). There are too many of these asses being re-elected year after year.
Shame on US
Luci Baines Johnson seems quite insane.
I don’t buy that RL.
Notice how the Democrats never stand back and let the Repubs destroy themselves?
NO THEY PARTICIPATE IN THE DESTROYING!
You think if Dubya was passing edicts left and right without benefit of legislature the Dems wouldn’t have censured, made it a big deal?
Hey, you folks all think the pubs are doing just great....well I give them half credit.
But they could do way better.
Is it Carville that says when your enemy is drowning to throw them an anvil?
As usual you get it.
The end-game of zerocare has been so carefully planned out its scary!
This had to have been done by truly genius left wing/socialist politicos over a period of years to come out smelling like a black rose every time.
If zero care fails they go to single payer. If it succeeds it will windup being single payer(already is with Medicaid as the single payer) under no circumstances will it end.
This thanks to Supreme Court Justice Roberts who was blackmailed into legitimizing zero care.Hope those two kids he "bought"(smuggled into the US) from Ireland were worth it.
This is the very lame defense offered when the pubs don’t show up.
I got a bridge to sell anyone who really believes that if McConnell or Boehner called in and asked to speak they would be denied.
Cheap bridge, just been renovated.
Chris Matthews says, I am not making this up....
....”of course we all like Sebelius, she’s a public servant”.
So we all, OF COURSE, should like and admire public servants?
Is this how those dolts think?
I cannot stand Sebelius and she does not televise well at all. She comes off as a snobby *itch during those hearings and plenty people think so as well.
But liberals love snotty people know more than us on how we should live our lives.
They are public servants, let us bow down.
And while I’m on a rant....I was 14 years old when Kennedy was assassinated. That began my first stint as a news/political junkee.
I read every word written about the assassination, watch endless days of black and white TV (CBSNBCABC), listened and read the Warren commission.
Lee Harvey Oswald kills Kennedy and no one else.
I don’t care what they say, how they try to change history. The truth is the truth, let’s not lose it.
Exactly. The conspiracy theories were mainly invented by Lefties who couldn’t face the fact that a Commie did it, and it wasn’t a “Right Wing” Conspiracy.
I watched the Auburn game on the plane to Seattle. When Louis made that touchdown, the whole plane erupted (from Atlanta, so a lot of Georgia fans?)! Looks like we’re headed for an awesome Iron Bowl!
I’m in Seattle this week. This morning, Seattle Conservative and I are going to meet up for coffee!
Well her initials are LBJ....
Right now there is only one way around single payer and that is to win both houses and tear this apart. It may be too late for that? The communists waited for their chance and took full advantage and here we are.
The GOPe didn’t have time to help the VA Governor, they were too busy pig piling Ted Cruz.
Exactly. It is just what Dr. Cloward-Piven-0bama ordered, and it is working even better and more quickly than expected. The Gordian Knot is easier to untangle than this mess.
The only good, Constitutional, American solution is, of course, complete repeal. But that is unlikely as long as Emperor 0bama runs the Executive Branch and his consigliore, Hairy Reid, runs interference in the Legislative and they are not about to let that happen. Every day this goes on increases the wreckage in the system and makes the knot larger and tighter. We ain't seen nuthin' yet...
Likely, the pain and confusion will become so widespread and intense that "single payer" will be trumpeted as the only way out and there are plenty of politicians on both sides willing to prescribe and sell that snake oil either because they believe it or the blackmail available on them is just too juicy for them to ignore.
The odd thing is, we are approaching the political equivalent of Custer's Last Stand with both sides playing the part of General Custer. It is yet to be decided which will ultimately be Custer.
Hi all,
Been lurking - lots of good comments on this thread, as usual!
AB - thanks for your diligence in putting this thread up every week. Looking forward to meet a fellow FReeper in person this a.m.!
Best,
SC
No Repub supported it directly, but Susan Collins voted to allow closure which indirectly allowed the funding. The Senators didn’t use every tool they had to stop it. They were at odds with the House this entire fall and allowed it to happen.
If I lived in Wyoming, I would vote for Liz without hesitation.
You are a brave man and deserve some sort of award. You most definitely went above and beyond the call of duty.
