What gets me, among other things, is thinking about how few of these Senators have likely ever really worried about healthcare. Gone without insurance just hoping nothing awful happens. Lost access to a medication because of cost. Panicked that a chronic illness would make it impossible to get care.

Chuck Schumer must be replaced as leader since he cannot keep his caucus in line.
America is in the midst of a Republican-made health care crisis—a crisis so severe, so urgent, and so devastating for American families that I cannot support a continuing resolution that fails to address it.
