Yesterday the Marquette Law School in Wisconsin released the results of one of its periodic opinion polls. 51% of the people surveyed disliked “Obamacare”, but only 40% disliked “the Affordable Care Act”. Yes, each of these people’s votes counts just as much as yours.
SO before he can get the noose on, he slipped off the chair and breaks his back…fortunately before Tumpcare starts. However he’ll still have to deal with his wife for standing on upholstered furniture with his shoes on.
I realized recently how “wound up” I was getting just reading (online) news…not to mention compulsively checking it every 5 minutes. So I just stopped. Cold turkey. I stay informed by reading a newspaper (yes, they still print those, and mine gets delivered to my house for about $1 a day). I’m doing much better (thanks for asking)…
So no one else here had a 150% increase in their insurance cost with Obamacare??? I am not making a political statement , I’m just stating a fact. And I did not get to keep my doctor or my insurance.
But…but…health care for all isn’t in the U.S. Constitution so the government doesn’t need to worry about citizens not having it. Just like education, hunger, the environment, etc.
WIley Miller re great timing of today’s toon: “I’d like claim clairvoyance, like Trump does, when I scheduled this cartoon 3 weeks ago, but I’m not a delusional egomaniacal liar” (& hard to believe he only has 235 followers after a month on Twiiter @TheWileyMiller)
Just an observation from afar of the fray…I really don’t think Trump wants this fiasco of a bill to succeed.
While he’s thrilled to take credit where not due, he is adverse to condemnation. I don’t he wants this going forward and having the dire consequences thrown up in his face as Trumpcare – which it surely will be, should it pass.
With its demise, he can save face, go back to his base – who incidentally, this bill would have had the highest negative impact on – and say he gave it his best shot at fulfilling his campaign promise.
It was the ineffective, dysfunctional House of Representatives and the recalcitrant Senate that blocked America – proving once again how corrupt the government and the fake press really are.
Sadly, that is exactly the healthcare plan the Republicans want us to have. Hoping we are good enough to kill ourselves or just die, so they don’t have to come up with euthanasia laws for those they deem not useful enough to live. Which is a strange irony from a party that pretends it cares about life. After all, increasing an already too large nuclear arsenal (don’t have to do much research, it’s already tipy top and over the top) just speaks volumes of peace, love, and understanding, right?

Yesterday was the 7th anniversary of Obamacare being signed into law. The country did not fall into chaos. However, the GOP did.
I got rid of cable. My apartment is a Trump-free zone.

My guess is that this will be Paul Ryan’s fate when Trumpcare fails in the house, which he allegedly controls!

Many will take this way out if either the Ryan plan, or the more radical right get their version that would be many times worse.

The Republican Health Plan:
1) Make certain everyone’s covered by making it optional.
2) Provide better coverage by taking away benefits.
3) Making it more affordable by giving rich people tax breaks.
4) Save money by making the states run and pay for it.

Lots of people did the figurative version of this when election results were reported. Most are still on the ‘chair’

Hopefully it will all be over today when the House refuses to knuckle under to the toddler-in-chief’s threats.

Insurance isn’t healthcare, so how in the world can either side call these “efforts” (both presentations) affordable health care? Oh, right. Politics.

@GIANTSHETLANDPONY: This is the oxymoron of “conservative” “Christian”. I guess it’s easier to “love your neighbor” when they’re dead.
