    Trump and the GOP Congress need a win real bad. They understand the lack of sophistication of their birther base and know that they just need to blame someone else and the base will follow.

    So this takes away anyones incentive to pay if everyone else is going to pay for them. Kind of the EXACT OPPOSITE of the core tenant of the right, "Personal Responsibility".....

    Once again a gerrymandered minority inflicts its regressive views on America, and this time by one vote in the Senate.

    McCain is a skilled fence walker, talk the rogue talk and walk the party line every time.

    Thanks to Mike Pence the good and moral-minded Christian to break the tie so that people can be deprived of healthcare. What a righteous guy!

    He is likely a good example of evil in disguise.

    There's a special place reserved on the cheap side of hell, for Pence and others involved in this unique fiasco found only in America.

    Do I need to recount the number of tests I've personally had ordered by a "doctor" when a simple physical exam would have sufficed?

    Shame.

    Who cares if liberals slam McCain?

    If liberals are upset at something, someone must have done a good thing.

    Where did you get your undergraduate science degree, get your medical degree, and where did you complete residency ?
    Dr Aphotic, why did you consent to these tests ? Since you know more than your physician, why did you not object and question his judgement ?
    Did you just sit there like a lump, despite knowing more than him ? Why would such an intelligent person, so well versed in medical practice just sit there and do nothing while a doctor ordered a bunch of needless tests?
    With patient autonomy, you had every right to object. I'm finding it hard to understand why you complied with this Dr Aphotic.
    I mean, your not just some ignorant schlump that doesn't know better. You are an expert.

    Dems TELL everyone else WHAT their best interests are, unilaterally FORCE these "best interests" on everyone, its revealed to be a sham-and then Dems wonder why they lost.

    Kewl use of fallacy of personal experience at your first 4 MW fast food jobs, prog - and since you think it's ok to use such fallacious reasoning, I'll cite my memory: my first job was union - local 1444 - and I had full benefits.

    Sorry you couldn't land a job with better benefits. Perhaps it was your demeanor, or lack of desire.

    Seems to me that the plebe would be the one who couldn't even figure out how to get a job with even meager benefits after three separate tries.

    Weird, since the vote which just passed was an attempt to put something on the table, and not a single Democrat voted to even allow the debate.

    I despise the guy, but I don't see any reason not to think the same of you, since it will save you any chance of suffering cancer as well.

    I know it's tough to avoid the monolithic hive-mind mentality as a leftist, but the GOP is a scoche more diverse and quite a lot less despotic in their voting processes. As such, they don't seem to move like lemmings or a school of minnows as Dems seem to do. There are, also, several GOPe that are simply Dems dressed as (R), (Collins, Murkowski, etc) who can easily block anything done, due to the hairline majority that the GOP holds.

    So stop demagoging this issue.

    How is this different from the Republicans doing the exact same thing with the BCRA?

    Hint - "It's not."

    Sure, until the government assigns you to the worst doctor in the country and you have zero options.

    You think a medical system patterned after the VA is a good idea?

    **** off with your pathetic contrivance. I had a doctor who ordered tests for a hernia when a simple physical exam would suffice. Instead of doing the physical she ordered an ultrasound.

    I went to another doctor who did a physical exam and sent me on my way.

    She didn't want to do the work. She just ordered tests. Don't ****ing tell me, plebe, what I do or don't know, and who I have or have not interacted with.

    This doctor was a fraud. An overpaid hack test orderer who did nothing of value but try and use technology where know how was a better remedy.

    You act like we have a single payer system, we don't.

    If you go to a single payer system, all the good health care will go to cash only. It is already starting to happen.

    There is a system of doctors here in orange county that lets you pay up front for the year to use their services, then if you go over it is cash as you go. This will be come the norm and the single payer system will get worse and worse with longer and longer waits.

    There is no such thing as a free lunch

    I don't respond to boobery. I have no effing idea wtf you're babbling about, nor does anyone else.

    Again: wtf? Less derp. More non-stroke thoughts. I named specific RINOs. Your caterwauling means absolutely nothing.

    Odd position to take, bashing one doctor but accepting carte blanche the statements of others, without having met them, or understanding the possibility of any agenda.

    How tall are you? Is the angry elf video clip appropriate again?
