Yeah but the next election will fix it /s
You will always have healthcare in Texas. Obama and the liars in Washington just took away our options for insurance to help PAY for that healthcare.
Ain't being part of this Federal debacle grand.....#TEXIT
He’d better talk to his female friends on his side of the aisle. They’re the ones derailing it.
If Term Limits AND Recall were in place for each and every level of politician and judge, then it would be less likely that all of the Anti-Trump Republicans would be playing the present games that they are playing! RINO Republicanism needs to end, asap!
On the Obamacare repeal, he’s not able to keep his troops in line.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Its simple really. The vast majority of Senators are in the bag for the Insurance Lobby. And remember, each one of them and their staff and families have a lifelong Cadillac Health Insurance Policy. In short, they have been bought.
Get Congress off of their special policy and into the pool with the rest of us. Then you would see the repeal process succeed instantly.
MConnell is done, So is Ryan. Get rid of them both.We need new Congressional leaders.
#55 - Well, he needs a “wartime” consigliere.
Dayo. Daaaayo.

Republicans did not have the fortitude to:
1. Stop Hundreds of Billions in giveaways to the nation's Takers
2. Reign in the Insurance Cabal that gives away Millions to politicians and screws the rest of us.
3. Sympathize with the young, the working, and families who are getting destroyed by health insurance premiums, deductibles, and costs so that others can benefit from their pain.
Turtle boy and that bunch of mental midgets couldn’t organize a piss up in a pub. Even if they had the brains to do it they won’t. It doesn’t pay enough bribe and corruption to give the people who voted for the _____ anything helpful or good.
I just hate them all.
Their failure is the current GOP's "No new taxes" moment.
Obamacare should have been fully repealed in January, with ongoing open hearings on the role of the federal government in healthcare going on today. The GOP needs leadership and communicators who can explain liberty and markets to the America people. They are pathetic. Trump is doing what he can, I guess.
We’re halfway through summer. No repeal, no wall, no tax cut, no military investments. 2016 was a wasted election.
Obviously, buying healthcare insurance under o-care is mostly equivalent to not having coverage. There may be some policies that help you pay for catastrophic expenses, but you may go broke anyway. The “ACA” was designed to make us pay for somebody else’s medical care. That’s why you can’t get a reasonable policy for catastrophic coverage and pay cash for routine doctor visits.

The party system is a closed club. We get to pick between tweedle-dee and tweedle-dum, both of which are selected from the class of people who attended the right schools, made the right conections, and rose to favor with the moneyed class.
Outsiders, even effective ones (see Daniel Wathen) are not welcome.

Add to that it’s Party over politics. Principles are the red-headed-step-child and completely ignored.
How a party of (supposed) ‘small govt’ can support a Socialist....Great. The (R) won. What’s it matter when a dime’s difference can’t be seen??

You seem to be making the mistake of assuming that McConnell is a national leader with some kind of broad authority over all of the GOP senators. It doesn’t really work that way. Senators answer to their own constituents, first and foremost.
It’s much easier to hold up a Supreme Court nomination because senators think of those things in very ideological terms and can’t really know the short-term impacts of a new Supreme Court justice. With health care, however, the impact on a senator’s home state could be immediate — and devastating (if not done right).

And you seem to be making the mistake that Senators care of/for their State/constituents. If they did, they’d been clamoring to repeal O’Care since 1/20 for all the damage it’s done.
Like all elected, they answer to the one that fills their coffers, pads their pockets a/o gains them power/influence.
I would like to see Roberts taken huntin' and left in West Texas to fend for himself. I bet he would not last a night.
I agree!
I have a problem with worshiping at the altar of principles when they are focused on money.
Money is an imaginary substance created via Quantitative Ease. It’s not gravity. It’s not electromagnetic force. It’s entirely imaginary and it exists as significant only by virtue of counter-party agreement.
Gravity doesn’t care about counter-party agreement. Neither do radio waves. But money . . . money means nothing unless you agree to it.
It’s thus pretty hard to take a hardline stand on what gets funded for what. The Fed bought 2 Trillion dollars of mortgage backed securities at a price for each far above fair market pricing (which was zero at the time). The Fed created the money to do that from thin air.
How can principles exist that derive from money?
Currency, money and ledger entries have always been a social construct, for two purposes. To facilitate commerce, and to fleece the public. The fact that money is at the same time symbolic/convenience, and (aside from brute force) THE root of power is just the way it is.
No money-based decision (including creating it out of thin air) is inherently good or bad just because it involves money. Creating a certain amount of money can be a good thing, and can be regulated to minimize fleecing the public. All nation states have the inherent power to create money and regulate its value.
In the US, Congres is responsible for the value of money and the health of the US economy. They suck so bad at it, that they abdicated the responsibility.
That was a good reply. I didn’t expect one at all. Anytime I point out that money is created from thin air . . . conservative eyes glaze over and retreat to the sanctuary of conservative mantras du jour.
Not a believer in gold. It can’t work. The economy, global, its money supply, cannot be at the mercy of a handful of gold miners.
In the end, in a civilization dependent on oil, we don’t need to muse on it all. Oil decides everything, and Russia has the surface area and is going to win. Denial and rebuttal always talks about budget deficits there dependent on price and on if shale is able to produce at $60/barrel, and there we are. Retreating to the sanctuary of money. Geology doesn’t care about money.
Supposing of course that food is available in adequate supply.
At bottom, humans are just as much animals as any other. Brute force rules - EVERYTHING.
