No, that's what you have been told by the people who got caught. BTW, MSM edits their videos to do exactly that and you buy the excuse that it's done for time, why buy it for them but not PV? Do you demand the MSM post their raw video? NOPE.

^^ Understatement of the year. They certainly edit with creativity. I don't believe anything they put forward.

I see evidence of it in an article by the Blaze, not "the people who got caught". They compared the edited to raw and found it misleading in the case of NPR, for example. I am not in Texas, not a liberal, or anything. Just found while looking into this.

Are Cruz/conservatives really in favor of something like that, even it means their own mother lose her coverage for her pre-existing diabetes? Or when a husband changes jobs and loses his coverage for his pre-existing skin cancer? That's just downright mean to treat somebody like that. I'd be worried about Karma coming for me if I was in favor of that.
I believe Texas is one of the states suing to do just that (stop the ACA requirement to cover pre-existing conditions in health policies).

For the first time in my life I went to a political rally last night, and it was very interesting. Absolutely PACKED as well - probably about 1000 people. The venue had originally set up 100 chairs. 100. Then they went and got 400 more and set them up, and still, there were TONS of people standing - probably as many standing behind the chairs as there were sitting in them. Very well behaved but engaged crowd.
That's great news!! I'm excited for this one. Whether my side wins or loses, I am very grateful for this election, as it has sparked something in people that should have always been there (myself included). I stopped voting after W won because I realized - watching that race all night long - how my vote doesn't really matter in Texas. How did Texas turn red at like 6pm when only something like 55% of the votes had been counted??? I'm sure it is just the fact that I am ignorant on the electoral college or something, but I digress. I voted Sunday at 1pm when my polling place opened and had to wait maybe 30 minutes, but as I walked out, the line was much longer. Very exciting times, and I hope my/our kids continue this trend.

Beto by a landslide so Dems there is no need to go vote. He's got it locked up.

Even Pulosi says she will be the new queen. Just stay home.

They are. One of many who want to rid the world of ACA. Trouble is, in order to have insurance companies cover pre existing, we all need to be covered. There's the rub. Many of our fellow citizens just don't get this Heritage Foundation plan.

This late in the game, any incumbent Republican who says they support coverage of pre existing conditions is lying.

I caught onto pre existing years ago when a friend with cancer was denied coverage. The company her husband had worked for for 25 years changed their insurance carrier. She was denied insurance for her cancer due it being pre existing. She had to go from St Louis to Columbia Mo for treatment from the state, weekly. IMO, that was cruel.
