"Killing Peter to pay Paul"

wow, can't say it any better than that. Just saw it from a woman who was a cancer survivor. She was just on Chris Hayes. Just saw the snippet, did not catch the entire segment. Tearful appeal, much like Kimmel.

1. That made me cry...

and it looked like it got to Rachel as well. She clearly had tears in her eyes during Chris' handoff.

2. I don't know her name, but what a moving segment it was.

Left me in tears.

3. That sums up the point of this bill succinctly....

Americans are screwed...die if you can't afford care, while the wealthy and the insurance exects get a hefty payday on the backs of the majority of Americans. It's sad and appalling that, today, in this country, the poorest don't deserve help because they're considered takers, but the wealthiest deserve to be paid back and pandered to because they've "earned it". We've lost compassion, empathy, and a sense of the commons in this country, at least on the legislative and executive levels. We have to right the ship or else we're doomed to an even more bleak future.
