When republican voters stop being able to afford healthcare, dems need to make it very clear whose fault it is.


The fault is with your party who in a partisan vote passed a giant turd called ACA that is anything but affordable and requires constant trillions in subsidies

Is this voting for cloture for the CR or new legislation that would have to go back to the House?

Yup. Their base would eat them alive if the bennies stopped. The GOP can learn a lot about this event.

My 14-year-old son is pissed because Cornyn isn't there to vote. Is this true? I am watching football. But I am a proud dad.

Senators and Reps typically leave DC on Thursday and come back Sunday night. They don't really work very hard at all.

Republicans have insurance from jobs. Or no insurance and they don't care.

We don't have free market healthcare. The government distorts it on every level. Hussein wants to take all of it.

We are unhealthy as a country
We spend more on end of life care
We count assisted living in the healthcare costs.


I strongly encourage you to travel maybe you will see its apples and oranges.

We also effectively pay for the development of most of the advances in medicine and the technology for medical care.

These get built into the costs paid by our insurance to the companies that provide drugs and medical equipment. But without our investment medical treatment, drugs and technology would not have advanced the way they have.

The vast majority of medical advancements comes from the US.

  • The U.S. is the single largest contributor to medical research funding worldwide.
  • The U.S. leads in the number of new drugs, medical devices, and scientific discoveries approved and developed.
  • The U.S. has a particularly advanced biotechnology sector that has driven major breakthroughs.
  • U.S. government investment in basic science, such as through the NIH, has been crucial for the development of many new vaccines, treatments, and technologies, including gene editing.
