Members marceline Posted May 4, 2017 Members Share Posted May 4, 2017 (edited) I called Rep. Joyce this morning to let him know that even though I don't live in his district, I would be more than happy to drive in every week and work on his defeat in 2018. He voted no. Portman is supposed to be in Cleveland tomorrow for a program on human trafficking. He's got to be crapping his pants right now. It's bad enough he'll be in Ohio but bright blue Cleveland? He'll probably have to drink his dinner just to get out of the car. Edited May 4, 2017 by marceline 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted May 4, 2017 Members Share Posted May 4, 2017 Here is a guide to some things we can do to help stop this atrocity. http://www.indivisibleguide.com/stop-trumpcare/ Robert Reich posted this, which I find hopeful and didn't realize: To become law, Trumpcare has to go through 4 additional steps: 1. Pass an amended version in the Senate 2. Go to “conference“ to hammer out differences between the House and Senate 3. Pass in the House again4. Pass in the Senate again 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members marceline Posted May 4, 2017 Members Share Posted May 4, 2017 Yep. Now is a good time for us all to reacquaint ourselves with what it takes for a bill to become a law because Toupee Fiasco's cult is running around acting like Obamacare was repealed today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted May 4, 2017 Members Share Posted May 4, 2017 Kasich is gearing up to run in 2020 isn't he? He's he only prominent GOPer that has stayed away from all of this and has been a cautious supporter of the ACA. I have no interest in seeing another ideologue in the white house(we have Pence there now). Our Governor Rauner in Il a GOP idiot. He indirectly slammed all of the R's in Illinois who voted for this(Rauner is running for re-election in 2018) but he never make any kind of statement on this before the vote, knowing it would have likely ginned up more opposition to the new bill. He's a coward http://www.chicagobusiness.com/article/20170504/NEWS03/170509917/house-passes-obamacare-repeal. He does this now so he can tell people he was against Trumpcare when election season comes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members marceline Posted May 4, 2017 Members Share Posted May 4, 2017 He says he doesn't plan to but he said the same thing about 2016. Of course if he said he was planning to run in 2020, Kasich would basically be saying either that he wants to make Donnie a one term president. I think Kasich is just in wait-and-see mode because anything can happen over the next three years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Wales2004 Posted May 5, 2017 Members Share Posted May 5, 2017 Here's a little Trumpkin AHCA repeal humor: http://www.newyorker.com/humor/borowitz-report/trump-supporters-celebrate-imminent-loss-of-their-health-insurance?intcid=mod-latest I still don't see why anyone voting in favor of that tax cut for the rich today would celebrate since they knew the senate wouldn't rubber stamp it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wendy Posted May 5, 2017 Members Share Posted May 5, 2017 Oh, there's been a few Twitter posts from Trump supporters that make me think they're not up on government processes. One had a GIF of a tombstone with Obamacare's "death" dated today. Naturally, as a concerned citizen I had to inform them that was premature and it still needs to pass the Senate. Hee. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members rhinohide Posted May 5, 2017 Members Share Posted May 5, 2017 Interesting take on how much people who earn more than $75,000 a year cost taxpayers (in subsidized healthcare, mortgaged subsidies, etc.) https://www.forbes.com/sites/chrisladd/2017/03/13/unspeakable-realities-block-universal-health-coverage-in-the-us/amp/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted May 5, 2017 Members Share Posted May 5, 2017 I may have my issues with Sanders and I am not crazy about Chris Hayes constantly being in the tank for him(Maddow and O'Donnell actually have a variety of serving democrats on) but I have to agree with Sanders on this that this was not a healthcare bill but a huge tax cut. But I love the part at the end when they got Trump saying that the Australians have better healthcare. I hope they do use this quote from Trump. They should actually put it in ads and run it in areas Trump won http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/trump-touts-australias-health-system-bernie-sanders-delight 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
