I don't see it working when your directly destroying peoples healthcare. I mean this is how Fox News spins people getting in trouble from lack of healthcare 'Why is Sanders focusing on these people in need of help instead of his own legal issues' 'look at these democrats get all riled up and minor issues like people having access to healthcare haha what drama queens' 'Everyone dies. Unless you are psychic or have a line to heaven you can't know when people die' People will believe shit like this... | ||

Direct tax revenue rather then higher premiums for others? And surely these 'others' would be paying the tax increase to provide the revenue. Thereby still paying more because sick people exist... Or are you going to tax sick people? | ||

"Your taxes will go up" vs "your family's insurance rates will skyrocket." Secondly, why do you choose to conflate the funding stream with "how to provide?" In both cases we're talking subsidies and how to pay for what's being provided. Debate on this topic is fucked from stage 1. | ||

Less attention on the failure to actually unite behind a repeal; less attention for the swamp since their own failures and incompetence never gain the spotlight. | ||

They know that Trump won’t do anything, so why not slap around the country that they have the most beef with and see what happens(Qatar is now becoming good buddies with turkey and Iran) | ||

They are trying to “resolve the issue”. The demands of Saudis are pretty silly and ask Qatar to shut down is news network. Whatever is happening, it isn’t being covered in much detail. | ||

It's only a matter of time before the GOP understands the full implications of its admission that the country must provide health care to everyone with preexisting conditions. | ||
