The FC are frauds because the whole thing is a con game. The FC votes for a Speaker that will not let them enact any of the legislation they believe in. And they know this. So they are frauds. In return, the leadership allows them to run around and say conservative things to keep the base engaged and to keep true believers like you feeling that the Republicans in Congress are working on your behalf when they are not. So at the end of the day nothing gets done but everyone says they tried to do something and everyone stays in power. See how this works?

As for Obamacare, I don’t support it as a mandate or as currenly constituted, but it does help a lot of people. Case in point, when I got downsized, my COBRA was $1400 a month, on the exchange it was $400. So we can have arguments about whether the government should be involved in healthcare or whether or not Obamacare works, but the reality is millions of people are benefiting from this. Trump has always said that he was not going to kick people off the plan and into the streets. He’s never lied about this. He said it from the first debate so you can be angry at him or you can cheerlead for the freedom caucus but Trump has been the one politician who has actually been upfront about what he wants to do and follow through on it.

Borrowing from somebody: The HFC are "controlled opposition"

Sorry I can't remember, it was a thread article.

It was subsidized by taxpayers either younger healthier or richer than you

That's why your COBRA went down

Bad enough

But it is a door to govt controlled single payer healthcare

A crucible no no for anyone to the right of Schumer...... Cobra exists for when the employer no longer pays half or all for an employee

I'm self employed forever...before Obama mine cost 388/mo for regular policy with no dental and drugs 1000 per person deductible

Now it 900/mo

Why?

so my money goes to help folks like you on COBRA ..I was ok before trust me

when I was young you had county hospitals and healthcare for indigent and some charity hospitals and all medical insurance was major medical

and it worked
