Even the doctor whose daughter has a preexisting condition said Trumpcare would be better for her. Ruhle should have asked how she was going to have a choice when preexisting conditions don't have to be covered anymore - and many other pushback questions for the other ones weren't asked, either.

He has fantastic insurance and a well-above middle class lifestyle. He can afford to support the deplorable Trumpcare bill.

Truly heavy sigh.

just in time to listen to their sorry, smiling excuses for the inexcusable. All these people live with the connection between lack of healthcare and death. "Decentralizing" as a way to deliver good healthcare to all Americans? Not that he in any way claimed that was a goal for his five-syllable euphemism. Still wanna spit.

I just don't know why a journalist would bring that up. Them's fighting words for a lot of us. But, also, as I said, I find her very irritating as a t.v. personality.

I replied to the poster who said Ruhle's father ran on the ticket with Goldwater. That is not Stephanie Ruhle, it is Stephanie Miller.

You might want to read the reply before you scream a response.

NUFF SAID?

she's at least not a Trump shill. Her producer probably set up the guests per directions from Lack, that new guy who is trying to set up a Fox Noise clone.

grew up in New Jersey. Ms. Miller's father was Rep William Miller, who was indeed the VP candidate in 1964.

commenting upon the general conversation there.

Note: I have no idea -- nor interest -- in her politics. I've watched perhaps a total of 15 minutes of her.

they lack empathy for poor people who would not be able to afford insurance if they lose Medicaid or see their premiums shoot up. They should be ashamed of themselves.

The AMA came out strongly against Trumpcare, but there are a couple of right wing groups for docs without empathy, including one that Rand Paul founded for himself.

And who are willing to come out to spout Republican talking points. So far as was said, those are their only qualifications for discussing the subject.

Probably all in private practice that don't take Medicare/Medicaid because it doesn't pay enough anyway.
