Who cares if we approve a bullshit bill because the senate can improve it. What a joke.
Sen Feinstein said on Meet the Press that the senate committee writing the healthcare bill will consist of thirteen white men, no women.
Thatâs my representative, talking out of his ass as usual.
Sounds like a pre-existing condition.
RawStory: âItâs wrongâ: Democrats blast Senate GOPâs all-male healthcare group
As the Senate begins to wrestle with a Republican healthcare bill narrowly approved by the House of Representatives last week, senators questioned why the 13-member working group put together by Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell does not include any of the chamberâs five Republican women.
âWomenâs health is a big part of this and women are a majority of the population, and their health interests deserve to be contemplated in any reform,â Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein of California said on NBCâs âMeet the Press.â
Democratic Senator Patty Murray of Washington wrote on Twitter: âIt matters to have women at the table â and it matters when they arenât.â
Republicans pushed their healthcare restructuring through the House on a 217-213 vote, handing President Donald Trump his first major legislative success.
But the bill faces an uncertain future in the Senate, where Republicans have a narrow majority and several members have suggested they will develop their own plans. Democrats are united in opposition to the House bill.
I hope you dropped the mike after that.
Oh come on, those 13 Senators totally know whatâs best for women when it comes to healthcare. And the workplace, and birth control, and abortions, and equal pay, and family leave, and sex, etc.
If itâs non-voters who are saying stuff like that, they need to fear.
If itâs just regular Dem voters saying that, not so much.
Low-information voters are the ones that decide presidential elections.
I think Trumpâs base will also double down harder which concerns me.
This is true, but even as low information as you can get, when your premiums go up because you are a diabetic, you certainly will be pissed enough not to vote for the guys that passed that bill. Information or not, they canât change the fact that this bill will increase premiums for a lot of their base.

Probably not news to anyone here but I thought it was interesting to see what was being claimed and the fact checks.
But, but, but - they didnât fact-check âNobody dies because they donât have access to health careâ!
The large print giveth, and the small print taketh away.
This is an email i received from âmyâ senator John Cornyn ÂŽ, current majority whip.
I Want Your Obamacare Feedback
Health care affects each and every Texanâs life. As the United States Senate continues the process of replacing President Obamaâs healthcare law, I want to hear about your experiences and how we can do better.
Texans across our state have told me that under Obamacare, they havenât been able to keep their doctors, plans have disappeared, and high deductibles and double-digit premium hikes have made coverage unaffordable.
But, Iâd like to hear from you. Let me know how Obamacare has impacted your family, your loved ones, or your business by replying to this email. As Congress crafts a new health care law, I want to be sure your voice is included in the conversation.
Maybe a bit scared? Fishing for a way out?
A new NBC-WSJ poll finds that the public thinks the GOPâs health care plan is a bad idea, 48% against vs. 23% for.
Some people are finding more direct ways to let GOP House members know about their displeasure, as WaPo reports:
Could she be acquitted under a good samaritan law?
A co-worker said she was going for a self-defense argument - GOP is trying to kill us, so she targeted him in self-defense. But then he mentioned that sheâs actually a â1%-erâ and isnât even subject to ACA stuff. I didnât bother to fact check, however.
