Day Two…..
President Trump promises a "bloodbath" in '18 if the teabaggers do not get behind Paul Ryan's repeal and replace bill. But the Free Dumb Caucus says it's dead on arrival.
The Dems should adhere to some advice laid down 80 years ago by FDR. When your opponent is in the process of shooting himself, stay quiet and do absolutely nothing which might distract him from his goal.
Besides, attacks on the Ryan bill would just drive the Repubs into each other's arms.
BTW, have any of our three in-house trolls weighed in on how much they like the bill?
Try calling a hospital and ask how much it cost for a knee replacement, or any other procedure. Until this is fixed any bill is a fraud on consumers.
Yes, we need price transparency. But your claim that we should do absolutely nothing until we get that puts 300 million lives at risk. Transparency is just a part of a reform plan, though an important part.
That’s another Republican legislative trick these last several years: if a bill isn’t perfect, we shouldn’t pass it.
Of course, tax cuts are always perfect……..funny how that works.
I'll throw in for AC on Trumpcare replacing Obamacare:
Let's not forget the therapeutic value of leeches.
What the PP doesn't get, V. is the reason doctors and other providers got to where they no longer provided prices is they didn't know what it was going to cost because that information was/is under the complete control of private insurance companies and their actuarial tables.
Many providers have had enough with insurance companies and offer some services on a fee or contract basis. Anything that can be done to release the stranglehold on Americans' healthcare currently exploited by a handful of very wealthy CEOs, should be.
As Americans we still have two weapons against a repressive government…our votes and, increasingly, our pocket books. Since government is becoming all about profit, we need to start thinking more about punishing corporations for their decisions with our wallets, like we used to punish bad government with our votes.
Shareholders need to become activists until we can return our government to a democracy instead of a plutocracy, which it has now become.
Hospitals absolutely know their cost in some unit of measure such as cost per day, cost per bed, etc. It exist but "Big Medical" will not share that info. "Big Insurance" controls, my guess 95% of the Dr's as W2 employees. The hospital is perfectly capable o quoting rates for their cost centers but they won't because the next time you need care you would shop around and that is what they don't want. Republicans and Democrats are willing accomplices to this fraud. You don't buy any other product without knowing the price but for health care no one has a problem because the typically link of price to service is paid by Santa Claus (insurance company).
Au pair…..
Is that a "yes" or a "no" to the question, "Do you like the House bill?"
Not in favor.
Then you and I can both thank Senator Gardner if he follows through and opposes the bill.
Happy International Women’s Day 2017! All over the world, women are striking to demonstrate that “A Day Without Women” is like a day without getting stuff done.
Image: Elderly women going to school in India.
The theme of IWD this year is “Be Bold for Change”, according to the corporate partners on this site.
I’m sure that honoring women on this special and historic day is why Cory Gardner picked March 8 to host his second telephone town hall, at 7:10 pm today. After all, the 17 million women living in poverty will be among those most affected by the new GOP “DonTCare” health plan, by defunding Planned Parenthood, and all the other initiatives Cory has advanced by voting 100% with Trump.
Text “sengardner” to 828282 to join in. Or go to Gardner’s website to listen in on the audio livestream.
You can ironically thank Gardner for “standing up for Medicaid expansion” and ask him which way he will vote on the GOP health plan. Help the poor man to become less confused. Or, chat with the Senator about anything else that’s on your mind.
Here’s a rendition of “Bread and Roses”, to inspire or irritate you. Striking textile workers marched with this slogan on the first IWD in 1912.
Big Candy woos Big Daddy to 'enhance their bottom line', ergo, promoting increased consumption of lower-priced products. This, while the US is mired in an obesity epidemic and facing an implosion of health care availability.
‘Big Candy’ is lobbying the Trump administration. It’s also holding events at Trump hotels.
Geezuz. You couldn't make this stuff up.
Really. Humm.
And if they do save $280 million annually, I wonder how many ways that gets split. I mean…how many candy CEOs could there be?
Oh, big candy gets far more than the $280 million thanks to the ultra high tariffs on imports of sugar cane from Brazil and other countries. Thanks to those tariffs, sugar in this country has much higher prices due to lack of competition.
Legalizing Marijuana Would Hurt Mexican Drug Cartels More Than Trump's Border Wall
Over BigPharmas' dead body…..so to speak. (legalizing, I mean.)
Great piece on the election results … and Cheetolini's not-so-big win…
(Yes, trolls, we understand you won a rigged election).
Election maps are telling you big lies about small things.
