The only thing the AHCA has proven (other than Republicans’ complete disdain for their constituents) is that Republicans do not understand anything about how insurance works. At all. It is infuriating, and this story is heartbreaking.

Dragging them isn’t the proper response, however. The fact is, the pay to work with children needs to be high, so credentials & background checks, & constant accountability can be justified. Right now, pay for working around kids is abysmal, yet the very parents who hate being around their own kids themselves, are…

Soapbox... As someone with a horrible family history of colon cancer, get your preventative colonoscopies (if you can afford it, obviously)! Too many people are putting them off because they’re “icky.” So is death and leaving your loved ones behind! My dad, his siblings, and Chris (in the story) all had colon cancer…

Suuuuuuuuuuuuuck iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit, Nazi fucks.

Get Mexican food at an authentic, non-chain Mexican restaurant. Chipotle is yummy, but it’s not really Mexican food. Support the real thing at your favorite local spot.

It’s Cinco de Mayo; I promise you that Trump is going to be a very popular Pinata this year, as he’s the biggest antagonist to minorities and a extremely unpopular President... who is also terrible at his job.

If enough people get pissed about the bill being passed, the republicans will just dissolve the CBO.

Amen. I’m with you. Gone are the days when I thought “well they’re probably okay, they just prioritize things differently than I do.”

So sickening. All of those fuckers are so EVIL it takes my breath away. I’m supposed to meet up this weekend with friends who are Republicans. They didn’t vote or support Cheeto and are horrified by him but I know they still support the party in general. I’ll have to ask them how in the hell they can still support GOP…

I posted this is in the initial AHCA post, but there were 600+ comments so I’m sure it got lost. I just wanted to share my experience today in DC because it was so utterly sickening:

“They got rid of the Affordable Care Act??? I thought they was just gonna get rid of Obamacare!” - Trump’s voting base

Nope, people knew exactly what was in it. It was debated for months and scored by the CBO. You don’t have to rely on me, you can go back and read the news.

Eh, the problem is, if this passes (which is only slightly possible) - it will make health insurance *appear* cheaper for a lot of people, at least for a while. That’s how this game works.

exactly. the same party that warned us that Obama was going to send Grandma to a death camp is going to be celebrated for getting those free-loading geriatrics off the government teat.

My Poppop past away in June last year, and I tell ya, I miss him so fucking much but since November, I thank god he wasn’t alive long enough to become the man who voted for trump and fucked my future before leaving the earth

lol. they will realize nothing. they will obviously blame Clinton for running against him and giving them no choice but to vote for him. Then they’ll blame Obama, because he’s black, and why not. Then they’ll blame Pelosi, because fuck it, no woman should be that smart or confident, and she’s from California.

Trump’s base is defined by racial resentment.

In all seriousness my dad told me that his grandmother said the only reason women got back out of the house after ww2 ended was because of the freedom of sanitary napkins.

Next we’ll ask for pockets!
