Thanks for bringing this up. It drives me nuts that this hasn’t gotten more attention. The GOP hasn’t just resisted making any tweaks and improvements to the existing law, they’ve actively worked to sabotage it over the last 6 years.

How did Senator Marco Rubio (R -FL) sabotage the ACA (ObamaCare) before it was ever in place ? How would our healthcare be different if the ACA was allowed to work for the American people as the law was written ?

What? What are you talking about? He is able to get home care because of Medicaid. If Medicaid is cut and he is forced off of it, which is a very real possibility, he will likely end up in an institution where he will not have the level of independence and freedom he has now. He will absolutely be impacted by the…

The problem with your statement is that the US government is already inextricably involved in health. We regulate who can or cannot become a doctor, which hospitals can and cannot operate, we have made it essentially criminal for a hospital emergency room to reject a patient without insurance, we have decided which…

The point is that in the institution, he had no real freedoms. He could not do the things with family and friends that he can do now. I do not understand your post. You want to take away the small semblance of independence he has just to save money? That basically takes away his RIGHT to live his life in a manner that…

Its also “dying” because 28 Republican-led states refused to set up their own exchanges, and had 19 Republican-led states not refused to accept the Medicaid expansion.

Why anyone would ever believe anything he said ever, in light of overwhelming evidence suggesting anyone with sense should always do otherwise, remains an absolute mystery to me

I used part of your comment to email yell at Cruz & Cornyn. Cruz is theoretically against the bill as of this morning but I feel like he’s posing.

She was born in England and then grew up in Florida and California, she should have some understanding of racism in America

Is that what we are calling racism now, pet issues? I guess it’s also a pet issue when the Dutch dress up as Zwarte Piet, or when some Aussies go on TV in full blackface singing songs.

I didn’t see nor criticize the film- only her decision to ignore and silence a Black women’s concerns about the way race & Blackness is portrayed.

At least you tried Rich! My god that blackface response was just terrible bullshit. She is clearly a couple of shades darker than her normal skintone in the photo. Either that or she was saying because she’s brown it shouldn’t be considered blackface which is equally bullshit. She wouldn’t be the first minority to don…

A reenactment of this interview, and the subjects process of introspection:

If the goal of this interview is to make me not really want to watch any of this woman’s work then you’ve achieved it.

They also gutted it before it passed, making it much less worthwhile than it would have been in its original form.

Because treason has that annoying habit of being pretty clearly defined in the Constitution. So they’re not treasonous by that definition, but sabotaging your country so your party looks good certainly falls under a more general meaning of the term.

Its also “dying” because 28 Republican-led states refused to set up their own exchanges, and had 19 Republican-led states not refused to accept the Medicaid expansion.

Donald can say the ACA is dead all he wants, but the fact of the matter it’s far more popular than the shit on a shingle the GOP is offering. Just because you say something doesn’t make it true. If it was, you’d be impeached and out of office by now.
