Your comments are so over the top. Why don't you join Colbert? You might make a good team. Birds of a feather.


They barely even got this bill out of the house, this won't go anywhere and if it does it will be the worst thing that happened to the GOP. If I was a republican I would hope that the senate would reject this plan. The senate GOP isn't looking forward to making sense out of this bag of garbage they were handed, the GOP couldn't wait to get rid of this. Their celebration will be short lived.

America has become such a joke. Half the population is actually proud to contribute to its decline. I wonder what nation will rise to take its place all said and done? I don't exactly see a very benevolent power waiting in the wings, so the future is not looking too great. Historians are probably going to judge 2016 as a defining year in US and global history, but not for anything good. What a shame. The Dark Ages are back.


As for those who seem to believe that "the voters" will punish Republicans come 2018 or 2020, I wouldn't be so confident of that. Humanity is dumb.

China is waiting in the wings. With its low birth rate, they will need to start empire building.

Oh, Russia and China are loving us right now. They're looking at us like Emperor Palpatine looked at Anakin Skywalker.

THAT's when the rubber hits the road. And the timing may fall just in time for the 2018 mid-terms.
We have had all that under Obamacare. And now its in a death spiral with rising costs and insurance companies abandoning it. The left is in denial that anything is even wrong with ACA.

We tried Obamacare. It failed. Lets see if the GOP can do better. Thanks to Obamacare they have a very low bar for achievement.

There were major problems with the ACA. Republicans made zero efforts to address the problems. Just their inane chant of "repeal it".

I hope everyone that cheers this legislation suffers in the most horrible ways possible.

If someone in their own family falls deathly ill and they can't do squat about it due to this plan, then we'll see the wailng and gnashing of teeth.

You can not be serious.

By any measure this is no plan except a tax break for the wealthy and mayhem for the people.
