(24,461 posts)The fact that he wouldn't have received 60 votes for a health bill that would have semi-brought us up to speed with the rest of the world and into the 21st century . . . . that's a major, MAJOR problem. That's a serious ethical void.
There is absolutely NO reason to continue supporting the "meter's running" shenanigans of Big Insurance, Big Pharma and corporate hospital Chargemasters. If you cannot support at LEAST a multi-payer health system in the supposed "Greatest and wealthiest country on Earth" - GO JOIN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. Anyone who makes any person's health care more difficult and expensive to attain isn't anyone's friend or worthwhile public servant. They're a disgrace.
Quisling "Democrats" who won't give a single INCH on even incremental changes are actually WORSE than "all about Number ONE" Republicans or Libertarians . . . because selfish bullshit is what I EXPECT from Republicans.
Tell me something . . . WHAT INTEREST is it of ANY rich, corporate-fattened wealth hoarder whether or not a lowly impoverished citizen even has one BREAK thrown their way . . . one BONE? ONE CRUMB???
