UPDATE (09/22/17): I think I've discovered why the horrible Graham/Cassidy bill is being pushed so hard. It appears the Koch Brothers will give the GOP over $400 million ONLY if they repeal Obamacare and pass a tax reform. As usual, it's all about the money! Pretty monstrous to want to hurt millions of souls for millions of dollars...
It absolutely boggles my mind that the Republicans in Congress are so hell-bent on repealing the Affordable Care Act (ACA), despite the horrible end results of vastly increased insurance payments and the loss of millions having coverage. This in turn will lead to God knows how many deaths. All to put more money in the pockets of the 1%. And they don't need it!
WTF?!? Who are these miscreants that have no heart? As one person put it, they consider health care a commodity, not a right. I'm sorry, but every single human being on this planet has the right to live and to get what they need to prolong that life. Period. Even the cretins pushing this repeal.
What's even more amazing than the cold-hearted bastards trying to implement this is that their constituents keep voting them in office. Who are those people? I can't believe they are thinking that their Senator voted to have people die just to give more money to the wealthy is good cause to re-elect them. Are these people ignorant? Stupid? Uncaring? I just don't get it.
Suffice it to say, I truly believe that the only way to get some sensibility in all this is to have Congress go so overboard enacting and repealing laws that their constituents are directly and very adversely affected. Maybe, just maybe, they will then see the light.
Until the populace "gets it," we will continue to go downhill as a country. And we are very down the hill already. It may soon be too late to climb back up. Some people believe that to be true now.
One last thing: A pox on the 46% of the electorate who chose not to exercise their right to vote last year. Apathy will be the death of us.
