Quote:Republican leaders on Capitol Hill and the Trump administration say the GOP faces a binary choice. Pass the AHCA, possibly with some minor alterations, and fulfill their years-long promises to repeal and replace Obamacare, or let the opportunity pass and bear responsibility for a failing to fix health care.

Nope, voted for New York Liberal #3. Sanders. Here in NY which to some people is a foreign country, we don't recognize HRC. She spent one night in NY years ago on a layover at JFK. That story came out when she was "Senator from New York." She bought a house here, to represent us, and then she bought a dog so someone would be living in the house. And then the dog was killed by a car. Hence the "Hillary was the driver" theory. But to do that, she'd actually have to come to NY. Mr. NY was here tho.

First thing I've seen in this country since Ron Paul. I think now though he has to support someone can actually beat the machine, because at this point, that's more important than beating the republicans. There's an opporunity here for the left to re-examine why they lost, and see what could have actually won, and then take more seriously what the people want, and give up on this agenda laden chest beating. All that gets us is a bunch of loons in pink hats.

Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.

If this report is true: http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/trump-threatens-gop-back-health-bill-or-get-primaried/article/2617074 The Donald decides to abandon his own campaign promises, endorse the opposition plan, and threatens to Primary anybody with backbone, any Republican who tries to support their own pledges from their campaign, which was also Trump's campaign promise. Sounds pretty much like the nightmare feared by bystanders who worried what would happen if Trump won. Did you also waste your vote on either New York Liberal #1 or New York Liberal #2?

Quote:WASHINGTON — Now that efforts to pass sweeping health care legislation have failed, Sen. Bernie Sanders plans to propose a health care system funded entirely by taxpayers. Speaking on “State of the Union” Sunday, Sanders told CNN’s Dana Bash that he intends to introduce legislation outlining a “Medicare-for-all, single-payer” health care plan — and he will reach out to President Donald Trump to help advance it. “Ideally, where we should be going is to join the rest of the industrialized world and guarantee health care to all people as a right,” Sanders said. “That’s why I’m going to introduce a Medicare-for-all, single-payer program.” Such a plan would likely face certain defeat in Congress. But calling the GOP health care bill “a disastrous piece of legislation” that “should have been defeated,” Sanders acknowledged that “Obamacare has serious problems.” “Deductibles are too high,” Sanders said. “Premiums are too high. The cost of health care is going up at a much faster rate than it should.” When Bash asked if Sanders would reach across the aisle and “pick up the phone and call the White House” to promote the legislation, Sanders emphatically replied: “Absolutely.” “President Trump, come on board,” Sanders said. “Let’s work together. Let’s end the absurdity of Americans paying by far the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs.” Sanders has long advocated for such a program, including when he was a presidential candidate. His plans come in the wake of calls for bipartisanship following the implosion of GOP efforts to repeal Obamacare last week. On Monday, Minnesota Democrat Rep. Keith Ellison, deputy chairman of the Democratic National Committee, said on CNN’s “New Day” that members of his party “stand ready” to work alongside Republicans on health care, including on issues such as lower prescription drug prices. Across the country, California Democrats (aided by grassroots organization Our Revolution, a by-product of Sanders’ campaign) are advocating for a similar bill that would launch a statewide single-payer health care system.
