He keeps using that word "access" over and over again. It's just another slimy republican buzz word to throw people off from discovering their real intention, which is just to screw over a large portion of Americans covered by the ACA.

who was head of the Poison Control Center. He wrote editorials that said no children have been harmed by lead, Agent Orange illness was not real as most injuries from chemicals were no real. A person I know who called because she was getting sick at work was told to just not think about it. As it turned out the loading dock (idling diesel trucks) for the building was located where the air intakes were for the building.
Chemical companies paid the center lots of money and he did their work for them.
Where does Price's money come from?

All I heard from him were ideological platitudes, not real world solutions. Just going on about govt shouldn't force you to have health care you don't want- like it's a product, not a public service that benefits all. Even Cable companies bundle their products without consumer control so by comparison even in a "free market" more so important for health insurance plans to be comprehensive to cover important procedures, early screenings and preventative care. I was disgusted when the Navy vet got up to say govt should not be in the health care business, sure that he himself has free govt run VA health care! ( I've got mine, so screw everyone else)
The selfishness and lack of connection with reality is appalling.

4. Money for Tom Price

But of course there is a larger context. Price has devoted much of his political career opposing expansion of health insurance. His preferred replacement of Obamacare would reduce health care benefits for sicker, poorer and older Americans.

His views have a long history within the medical profession. For decades, doctors used their political clout to help block universal health insurance. They offered many rationales, but money was the main reason. Many doctors feared that a less laissez-faire health care system would reduce their pay.

The healthcare thief in chief was obviously just given his marching orders to throw out meaningless platitudes as smokescreens to cover up the great heist of our healthcare system that is really going on. The cognitive dissonance just got too much to bear when he chimed right back in with the exact same platitudes about things like "every patient is an individual..." that he had spouted out in response to the previous two questioners. The point IS that this third questioner was saying that not only did her premiums shoot through the roof with the new Republican plan, but she was being charged or forced to accept things as part of the plan that she didn't need - now, how on God's green earth could THAT be interpreted as tailoring their healthcare coverage to the individual???

during his "confirmation" hearing lets take a look at one Lamar Alexander and how much of a fascist empty suit he really his during this confirmation hearing and look at his political donations.

I watched Price basically say to all of the human beings that asked him a questioned in that meet and greet BS, I will not answer your questions directly, because I don't care if you live or die:


And for those of you that attempted to watch it ( Thank you) it is now time to resist more, he has his health care that's how much of hypocrite he is>

"We"are paying for his health care and that should have been a question, and we need to call him out and be in his front office reminding him and that staff he employs of that fact
