Isn't it WONDERFUL that we, the taxpayers, pay for the incredibly expensive, all-inclusive health care policies of our august Congresspersons, while they gift us with the crappiest crap they possibly can? So what if we peons lose any health insurance we acquired under Obamacare, right? We're just, as I've repeatedly been told by tr$mpists, lazy people who refuse to work, and we expect to get everything for free. Seems to me that Congresspersons are lazy people who refuse to work (calling my state's beloved senator, Marco Rubio, who cannot be bothered to show up for work and who stopped having town halls long ago). And yet WE have to pay for THEM. I want them to have the same health care "options" that the rest of us do. I'm sure they all have preexisting conditions, and I think it's unfair that they get paid treatment for them. I'd also like to see them earn minimum wage and be term limited, but hey, ya can't have everything. And say "thank you" to us, Senator McCain, for paying for your ultra-expensive surgery. If any of us had to have it, we'd be bankrupt.
Hmmm - new plan (proposed)Get orgs that sell money (credit card people, banks, other loan orgs) on board to push for affordable health care, if they are not already on board. A bankruptcy for medical bills that are obscenely expensive does not, AFAIK, exempt other bills that have played fair with the creditee. One has to be careful, though, not to give the jackals in those industries any more ideas about shitting in the waterhole in order to get their filthy lucre. Learning the French for Robespierre and guillotine might help, for example, along with tracing the actual jackals in the system.
They are responding in the way their actual constituents are directing them. Republican Constituents = Kochs, Mercers, Pope, all other oligarchs, including Vladimir Putin.
(Reuters) - New York state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman intends to sue the federal government if Republican lawmakers pass proposed legislation to overhaul the U.S. healthcare system, his office said on Monday.
Schneiderman's office said it has identified "multiple constitutional defects" with the Republican healthcare bills.
I was going to comment how stupid it is to postpone a vote because one Congressman is missing but then I found out you guys only have 100 senators. That's totally bizarre to me.

"You don't say?"
Damn it, Ohio should be taking the lead on this! Why can't our AG do the same?
Oh, right. Our AG is Mike DeWine. Another bible-thumping asshole.

His 2008 choice alone is enough to make hamburger out of that particular sacred cow.

We've also got the House of Representatives, where states get a proportional number of representatives, based on how big the state's population is.
The electoral college was created to save us from incompetent presidents. You can see how well THAT worked. Sigh.

They did surgery on his brain?
How did they manage to find it?

Christ on a bike, we don't need any more. The ones we have can't do their jobs.
To be fair, he earned it.
He is a serious contender. Not Shkreli quality, but just below..
