Republicans make new push to repeal Obamacare...this is really awful.

[CrispyQ]

40. The repubs were going to try to repeal before end of month, regardless of the single payer vote.

Personally, I don't think the single payer bill was a bad move, if the dems would use it - but they won't. The message is, "The Democratic Party would like to work with the Republicans to improve the ACA, but they have locked us out of that process, so that's why we are advancing a single payer bill. Democrats are trying to get health care for everyone, while Republicans are trying to take it away." But we won't hear that, because democrats don't do messaging.

Remember the summer of 2009 during the heat of the ACA debate? Remote Area Medical had a huge event in LA. People from all over the country went there to get free medical & dental treatment. Even the media covered it, it was so big. Where were the dems? They should have been all over that place, interviewing people. The commercials would have written themselves. They could have said - Single payer will be like this, but you don't have to travel to LA, you can choose your own doctor, & you don't have to stand in line. But no. They were like crickets, while the GOP was on national TV with their death squads & killing grandma bullshit.

The dems don't know how to fight, much less how to fight an opponent who fights dirty. That's why we are losing, not because Bernie introduced a single payer bill.

Call Congress, people! There's no reason why everyone's contact list doesn't include their senators & rep.
