WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Patty Murray (D-WA) issued the following statement on the decision by President Trump and Speaker Ryan to pull Trumpcare from the House floor.
“Republicans spent seven years vowing to turn back the clock on health care for women, seniors and families—but it took just a few weeks of them trying to jam Trumpcare through Congress to realize that people across the country absolutely reject their plans to increase premiums, cut millions of people off of their insurance coverage, eliminate women’s health care options, and put the insurance companies back in charge of health care decisions.
“This victory will make all the difference in the lives of patients, families, and seniors nationwide. I am so grateful to the millions of people who spoke up, not just for themselves but for friends and neighbors—for access to Medicaid and Planned Parenthood, and for a country that works to make sure all families have affordable, quality health care. Today shows just how powerful your voices are.
“We will be vigilant in defending against continuing efforts to put the interests of insurance companies and the wealthy ahead of patients’ health and welfare. I fear that while Trumpcare was dealt a significant blow today, the terrible ideas that underpin it will live on with Republicans in Congress and the White House. I hope that Republicans will learn from this, and instead, put people over partisan politics and work with us to build on the Affordable Care Act and make health care even more affordable, more accessible, and higher quality.”
She is one of the dimmest people I’ve ever seen.
liberals spiking the football. I wonder how many people will be swayed by the spectacle.
“Peppermimt Patty” has spoken.
I swear. She’s PERFECT as a female vicar in England!
Maxine Waters is even dumber; so are many others!
Beat me to it.
I was going to say she’s the dumbest of all the senators.
Seniors? Seniors are on Medicare. Obamacare really didn’t effect seniors much at all. I do know that a bunch of money was diverted from Medicare to help pay for Obamacare, but I doubt that seniors were happy about it.
Actually no, Patty. The GOP collapsed inwardly when many insisted on benefiting their cronies in the insurance industry at the expense of the American people.
The people who keep reelecting her are. I remember this dingbat going back 15 years ago praising Bin Laden for building roads, schools and day care centers. “Oh so he killed 3000 people on 911, but he builds roads and schools!”
In other words, the Medic-aid, gimmestuff crowd is dancing in the streets they are now more influential than the middle class that supports them.
What about the minorities?
The Stupid is VERY strong within this one !!
Senator Mouse hath spoken
Her Boi obama still owns the healthcare system that is financially raping more and more Americans
Yes I imagine they will be “ speaking up” when the bills arrive
Most Americans have had it with those who just want to score political points. This won’t hurt Trump much or for long.
patty is slipping,forgot to mention lgbtq also;)
It should be embarrassing for Paul Ryan and the GOPe. They’ve spent 7 years to put together a plan. There’s been a lot of talk but they’ve come up empty.
Who is America Hospital Association?
I just saw a commercial, by them, touting all of the wonderful benefits of 0CommieCare.
Looks like an activist group.
Ironic that they have this commercial ready to roll, immediately after RyanCare fails.
No, fakeahantis, a number of slimy, gutless, retarded, gutter dwelling puke ridden politicians failed to speak. May their souls rot in Hell for eternity for the cajonieless quizlings they are!!
Seems like ISIS could do their worst to this animal and I would think they weren’t being cruel enough.
