dedicates their lives to making the murderers in the GOP lives to be as miserable and rotten as one can legally make them.

Because I still think they are gonna pass it.

I notice you owners here have purposely left off the ability to increase text size, good thing otherwise my anger would get the best of me and I would use it over and over.

I consider most members of the republican party guilty of attempted murder.

2. My hope is that many/most Republicans now realize that Dems aren't doing this "just to win"

The GOP has made politics into a matter of life-and-death for millions of people - including of course millions of GOP voters.

Democrats just happen to be the only major party in this country that sees that.

12. Yeah, but the Koch bros want a much more draconian plan, and threaten to primary all the reich

wingers who don't vote against it. The Kocks want the whole enchilada, they want EVERYTHING delivered to them, exactly as they desire. So they want all their congressional flunkies to openly show the constituents that their congresscritter works only for the Kocks. No matter how much it makes those constituents hate those congresscritters.

Hopefully those two kinds of evil run up against each other and destroy themselves doing it.

4. Why not just "fix" Obamacare?
Thu Mar 23, 2017, 03:19 PM

Instead of repeal & replace, why not just fix what's wrong with the ACA?

Because it's all political. Because republicans place party over country and are more interested in creating extreme ideological partisanship than actually doing the right thing. They are vile. Democrats are no angels, but they are not responsible for the extreme divide in this country. Years of GOP propaganda are ruining our country. Health care doesn't "trickle down" either, you GOP liars.

11. Because they broke it?

If I remember - Obama wanted single payer. The GOP didn't, and boiled Obama's healthcare bill down to what we got. So they can't fix something that they already broke. It's time we hired new repairmen.

13. They also pushed for states to opt out of Medicare expansion

Which reduced the number covered by ACA so they could now claim it was " in a death spiral". Insidious how the GOP always uses the word death... "Death panels" , Death taxes",. "Death spiral"...with 17% support on this slap dash abomonation they will soon be the DEAD party.

14. They do seem oddly obsessed with death don't they?

They're the ones who gave us the "Obama's death panels are going to kill your grandma" argument.
