34. Yes always frame w/ this 53 million&"everybody gets sick and old,employers will go to junk policies

I am so tired of these Dems stating that only 24 million people who will suffers. Everybody but the richest getting this tax break, this GOP wealthcare masquerading as healthcare, will be threatened and emmiserated.

Everybody gets sick and incurs a precondition, the cost of long term care insurance is prohibitive for most, so when you (and your children and grandchildren) get old you will need to depend upon will need Medicaid for nursing home care as did their parents and grandparents before, and no one with employer provided coverage is safe once employers can buy junk policies across sewer state lines, especially since GOP Crapcare takes away requirements for basic coverage (eg,surgery, prescriptions, hospitalizations, medical tests) as well as the protections of lifetime caps on your insurance costs.

The Dems have got to start saying these things clearly and immediately in every interview: Use the right number (53 million without insurance, everybody else with inevitable Crap insurance) Explain that everybody except the highest 1% for whom this is designed as a trillion dollar plus tax break, are losing their right to comprehensive and available insurance security in order to give this trillion to the 1%.

And finally that this GOPcare is so shitty that the GOP Congress has voted themselves out of it and onto a Obamacare type coverage all at taxpayer expense. So Ryan and the Republicans in the House have voted to take away Americans' health security and Obamacare but are forcing to us to pay taxes to give them Cadillac coverage, in fact we are probably also paying for their long term policies for future nursing home care.


Please, I'm begging our Dem representatives, ABF... Always Be Framing!
