Have you used any government program or assistance at any level? If so, you too are pathetic by your own logic.

Most likely you have.

I will be forever grateful for Senator McCain allowing me to keep my health insurance. His last vote was for the good of all Americans. Kudos to him for that.

The GOP has absolutely nothing to offer when it comes to this issue. That has been clear for decades now. The only thing they can do is oppose, oppose, oppose. Time for them to go.

So glad someone has the courage to stand up for greedy employers!

Why should an international corporation with billions in excess profits be forced to provide their employees with kick-ass health insurance.

It would be so much better if we shift that normal business expense from wealthy corporations to their hard-working employees.

That way it will be fair!

Chalk up another liberal fanatic who believes that any healthcare system must include massive government intrusion, far beyond mere protection of people's rights.

Funny how many people sign up to a program, if the govt punishes them for not signing up... and then the liberal fanatics try to pretend it's "popular".

If Obamacare were so "popular" (which in a sane world means desired by many people),why does everybody have to be threatened by penalties if they don't sign up?

What is the GOP healthcare plan?
The free market and not this combination of government and regulations.

Trump promised a plan that would "cover everyone," and it is his failure to do anything or even propose anything that has pushed me over to Bernie.

I don't blame you. A wish more people held all the Presidents accountable. Neither Bernie nor Trump has a plan that works efficiently.

I don't know what the "republican's" health care plan is but MINE is, you are more than welcome to have all the healthcare insurance or healthcare that YOU can afford from YOUR OWN pocket.


Quit being thieving scumbags trying to reach into MY pocket, or the pocket of anyone else as you demand your WANTS be paid for by others. You do NOT NEED health care insurance. You NEED to learn to be responsible and EARN and PAY for your own WANTS.
