GOPs Planned Attack On Our Health Care System Overwhelmingly Targets Blue States

If Americans think their country is divided now, they better hope the runaway train that is the Senate’s secret bill to destroy government-assisted healthcare has a crash landing.

That’s because the little that’s known about the Senate bill—with its revisions to a House-passed package to repeal Obamacare, eviscerate Medicaid funding and force it to ration care, and give the rich a tax cut—will further divide the country along red and blue lines.

Californian - and for our outstanding governor. I worry about who'll replace him when his term ends. Another Arnold would hurt us badly. That is what I worry about for my state. But then, I was devastated about Barbara Boxer retiring and look who replaced her. Kamala Harris, a superstar, imo! So there's hope!

they were planning on taking their hate out on all blue states. If they can bring down the blue states they can pretty much bring down the entire country without much more problem.

and also have serious or chronic health issues? What are they saying about this? Are they at all concerned about how this new Gop health bill will affect them? Do they STILL wholeheartedly support Trump? How do they justify continued support? Are they not worried at all?

Their supporters will convince themselves that doing without health care, suffering, and dying is for their own good.

Someone or some organization couldn't start a national pledge - online - where one could pledge to vote against their Senator or Representative that votes for this GOP sponsored health care fraud.

The Koch Brothers Want To Rewrite The Constitution. They May Succeed.


The Wisconsin Assembly votes Wednesday on whether to call for a convention to change the U.S. Constitution. While that in itself is surprising — the American people have never exercised their legally enshrined right to convene a new Constitutional convention — what’s more surprising is that pro-business groups with ties to the Koch brothers have pushed for similar legislation in more than 30 states, and they’ve been remarkably successful: A dozen states have passed bills calling for a convention that would produce an altered Constitution that would likely limit federal spending and power.
