Notice that those with health insurance (probably paid for by their employers) hate the idea of other people getting healthcare subsidized by their employers the taxpayers?

Three things to consider. 1, Congress gets the same health coverage the average taxpayers get, 2, Repeal the ACA and replace it with Medicare For All! 3, vote every self-serving Republican out of office!

In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work."

The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting.

And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

Americans are facing a healthcare crisis NOW and this Senate deal does nothing to fix that.

It's a bad deal and I cannot support it.

Americans deserve better.

Dems cave. Once again. They got little for their efforts. More importantly, Americans get NO support on health care costs. Why even bother with these people? You win big last week and you capitulate the next.

If you think the people throwing Great Gatsby-esque parties for themselves, while millions were denied their food assistance, are all of a sudden going to grow a conscience and save affordable healthcare, you clearly have not been paying attention.

I hate that people are fighting to keep their $500 a month healthcare premiums from going to $2000+ a month.

$500 a month is more than most people can afford and healthcare should be a basic human right.

I hope we can use this as an opportunity to fight for Universal Healthcare. It’s time!

A 20 year old Canadian was trying to visit her grandparents in Florida and was denied entry because customs officers thought she was trying to illegally immigrate.

Trust me, no Canadians want to sneak into the US.

This is another reminder that we should be boycotting US travel.

It’s not safe
