And what if that young healthy youth gets cancer or gets into a car accident..etc. Our rates will go up to pay for them. Do you understand how insurance works. Everyone needs insurance because it brings down the costs for all of us.

You mean like the Democrat members of Congress who voted for Obamacare?

As in the famous words of Nancy Pelosi, in response to queries about the contents of Obamacare, "We have to pass it so you can find out what is in it".....

Actually, ONE thing done that makes sense:

HOUSE UNANIMOUSLY PASSES MCSALLY BILL STRIKING AHCA EXEMPTIONS FOR MEMBERS OF CONGRESS

So at least there's that.

That's true..and it was a very stupid statement for her to make...but Obamacare being bad..does not make this bill better.

An excellent start..of course..meaningless unless, and until, the Senate signs off on it.

Cowards. I have no respect for any congressional representative/senator who doesn't have the guts to look the American people in the eye - or constituents back home. Those GOPers are going to come home and most likely NOT face angry voters in their town halls either. One of my senators (R) had a carefully screened, long distance tele-town hall where only a select few were allowed to ask questions. He blames his phone lines clogged with calls from irate constituents on "paid callers." This enrages me. I am both a lifelong Coloradan and a lifelong voter from age 21 on. No one needs to pay me to call my elected representatives. The cowardly GOP wants to avoid talking about the havoc they plan to wreck on the American People with TrumpCareNOT as much as possible. If they felt they were doing great, they'd be fighting to be interviewed by every media outlet in the country; and they'd come home and hold victory parades down Main Street, so we adoring peons could pelt them with flowers. Their silence is deafening.
MSNBC? How stupid of them.

Obama never responded to invitations to Fox; GOP will not respond to invitations from MSNBC.
Is there some sort of mystery here?

No. Just more "gotcha" and less reporting.

That's true, goes well with their motto 'survival of the richest, scr*w the rest'....

Reid has had republicans on her show before to talk about health care. You vote on a bill, you owe your constituents an explanation of why you voted as you did.

Of the 217, I think only 9 have scheduled a town hall during this recess. They work for us. They don't want to face us. Cowards.

Self righteous indignation!
