If you are Canadian, you're lucky. At least we're from Illinois with two strong Democratic senators.

Funny thing. Prior to Obamacare, I had to switch my doctor over and over and over due to the whims of insurance companies. The doctors themselves didn't couldn't even figure out why. I had three perfectly good principal care physicians inside of a year, with the attendant inconvenience and transfer of records and nobody had any idea why except that some bean-counter somewhere decreed it.

Then, when the insurance ran out, I didn't even have a doctor at all for several years until I qualified for Medicare.

Since then, I have been able to keep the same PCP and specialists without any drama.

I'm sure that Mitch McConnell can figure out a way to "improve" my situation.

If you'd just live under the bridge in a box like we told you to, you could feel superior for having sparrow on a stick, keel over and die, and we'd just fold up the house around you. It's the new Bauhaus. Trendy till the end!

As if they know how to have fun! Those kids do not have monies to give them, or in their words "skin in the game." Interacting freely with whoever is at the jungle gym on any given day is not how they do.

Also: a member of the security force that saved his life and others of the Grand Old Party? A black same-sex-married LGBT woman.

It's actually rather shocking how expensive funerals actually are.

"Trickle-down" never trickles-down.
