This is why we can't have nice healthcare.

Hey, be fair. The repos have only had 10 years their whole careers to come up with an ACA replacement meaningful healthcare plan.

It's not like anyone will really care, as long as Trump keeps promising to punish his enemies. Once he actually got to the rally in Grand Rapids yesterday, he devoted barely four minutes of the 80-minute slob carnival to his newfound laserlike focus on healthcare.

Trump's Nuremberg-style rallies have become as ritualized as a midnight showing of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, or Gallagher's fruit-smashing routine, or the crowd in the big room at Caesar's waiting for Rickles to call somebody a "hockey puck."

Remember during the campaign he assured us that he would have a better health care plan and it would be easy? he said the same thing about bringing peace to the middle east and look where we are with that. Do you think his voters will remember? What is he going to say-I really mean it this time?

I heard someone make this point and I think he was right. He always says "Obamacare" instead of the ACA. I'm sure he has no idea they are the same thing.

During my nursing career I was involved in the early medical marijuana studies in Washington state. Nursing school and clinical rotations had kindled in me a fiery and ferocious fascination with neurology, inspiring me to study for and seek my state certifications in both physical rehabilitation and neurology. Working for a rehab MD in the early '90s our practice was part of a state study examining claimed therapeutic effects of cannabis among MS patients. I am so honoured to have been a part of something SO positive.

Jared Kushner will be in charge, and Mexico will pay for it.

The irony of course is that Obamacare is a Republican plan. If the GOP were smart, they would take credit for it and sneer at Obama for copying it like the Kenyan he is.

But it has change and stuff. Cons don't like to deal with that.

I've been saying that for years about pretty nearly all Democratic policies. They don't even have to have actually come up with it to take credit for it. The only reason I've been saying this out loud is because I know they are too crippled by hate to actually do this.

For one thing, they only know obstructionism. Also, they just can't being themselves to believe that allowing the peasants to be prosperous could actually be of benefit to themselves.

And not the cute kind, either. Not even the irritating-but-innocent ones with fingers sticky from jelly. These are the kind who throw rocks at babies in playpens in the back yard.
