they dont kill.

And everybody acts like it is OK for them to do that.

I wish most Americans understood what was being done to them right before their very fucking eyes!

The GOP-controlled House and Senate have been trying this shit for quite some time now.

And McConnell knows it. The surprise push of this bill has sent insurers scrambling due to uncertainty ahead of the open enrollment period that is about to begin in November. The bill has no stopgap measure or way to encourage healthy people into the market--so premiums will likely get sharply hiked.
Even if the ACA survives the bill damage is done. It will take a strong effort to fix the damage and we need Dems in Congress to do this.
This will give Republicans something to run on in 2018. In spite of Trump.

and anxious due to actions by the fake prez and the GOP. For those of us who are already stressed as well as suffering physically and/or financially this is nothing less than cruel torture. The GOP are more SICK than the average American since every GOP rep is a severe sociopath. They know how harmful their actions are and do not care as long as they benefit in some way....that is the definition of a sociopath. Add greed and hypocrisy and you get a clear picture of the personality of the typical GOP representative. How are they representing anyone but their mega rich donors who have paid them very well over the years? It is all about their money and getting even more rich. Fuck real people, we are not even a consideration when they take positions and vote on issues that are supposed to help and represent us.
