Good. Anything less than wholesale repeal is unacceptable.

Good. Anything less than wholesale repeal is unacceptable.
I want to see this shit gone from the economy. As a veteran, and retired military man, I have been paying 1000-1100 bucks A MONTH to maintain my health care now for just over two years. Essentially, they have stolen most of my funds from the sale of my house, slated to keep us sailing for five years. It's been just at two and we're nearly out of funds, the vast majority going to shitty health insurance through Tricare Reserve "Select".
We found out a few weeks back, this DID NOT include dental at ALL, and had to pay for that monthly to the tune of almost another 100 bucks a month.
That's 1200 dollars a month.
Over two years it comes to 28,800 US Dollars. AND we have to pay most of the copay on meds, doctors visits AND a deductible at 2600 dollars before the copays drop.
Such fucking BULLSHIT I've never seen in my life.
And due to our two medical issues (previously cancer for her and heart surgery for me) we can't ignore not having health insurance.
In a few days, the price will drop as I am going to be actively retired from the military on the 4th of August and I will start receiving my pay, and the motherfuckers can never call me back again for the remainder of my life.
But I garun-God-Damned-tee you that if they don't fucking repeal this shit, I WILL take up arms again.... and the shit will hit the fan.
Fuck Obamacare, FUCK the Socialists, the Commies, and FUCK the US Government for screwing us this way.
Come on now... What are you complaining about? Not like you've got anything better to spend $28,000 on. Right?
:dead:
28k might have kept me cruising another 2 years for sure.
Without dipping into any other buckets. Now, I am having to look at breaking into IRAs, which I DO NOT want to do for a long time to come. That's there for her, if something happens to me, and vice versa.
Well it looks like 7 shitbag Republican Senators, 6 of whom previously voted to repeal Obamacare, and one of which was one of mine (Rob Portman) shot down the Obamacare repeal in the Senate. Brain damaged John McCain, whose vote shouldn't count due to diminished capacity, joined him.
Hopefully someone primaries Portman in 6 years. I've never liked his establishment ass...
:mad: :mad: :mad:
Multiple Hill staffers confirm last night McCain was heard laughing w Dems and remarked, "Lets see Donald make america great again now"

McCain is a traitor to America and always has been, and this is the reason for everything he works for, from arming and funding Jihadis worldwide to supporting Nazis in Ukraine to trying to ruin any chance at America and Russia ever repairing relations ever, no matter who's in charge either country. He's a piece of human garbage in a suit, a fucking psychopath.
Come on now, we need fighters like John McCain. Willing to call Obamacare the massive failure it is.
Well, at least that's what he thought last September... You know, when it had no chance of passing...
He's also super tough on border security and wants to build the wall. Just ask him. He'll tell you...

Trump, Schumer Speak: Replacing ObamaCare 'Off The Table,' Dem Says
October 7, 2017
President Trump acknowledged that he indeed phoned Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer earlier this week about a possible bipartisan health care bill – an apparent sign that he remains frustrated with the GOP’s inability to repeal and replace ObamaCare.
“I called Chuck Schumer yesterday to see if the Dems want to do a great HealthCare Bill. ObamaCare is badly broken, big premiums. Who knows!" Trump tweeted Saturday morning.
The phone call Friday was reported first by Axios.
However, Schumer appeared to put the brakes on any deal that would dismantle ObamaCare, former Democratic President Barack Obama’s signature 2010 heath care law.
Schumer said Saturday that such an effort by Trump to “make another run at repeal and replace” is “off the table.”
“If he wants to work together to improve the existing health care system, we Democrats are open to his suggestions,” Schumer added.
The New York senator instead suggested considering a bipartisan measure by Tennessee GOP Sen. Lamar Alexander and Washington Democratic Sen. Patty Murray that he says would stabilize the country’s health care system and lower costs.
Fox is told the Trump administration’s announcement Friday to expand employers’ rights of limit insurance coverage for birth control is a problem for Democrats.
Trump speaking to Schumer this week is not the first time that the president crossed party lines to work on health care reform and other major legislative issues.
The president met with Schumer and House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi in September after Senate Republican leaders failed to several times to pass legislation to dismantle ObamaCare.
Trump’s willingness to work with Democrats -- and perhaps upset his base -- to get a health care bill signed into law indicates just how much he wants a major legislative victory in his first year in the White House.
The president also recently struck a deal with Schumer and Pelosi that would allow Congress to pass hurricane relief funding, raise the federal debt ceiling and keep the government funded through roughly the end of the year.
Trump also recently agreed with Congress’ top two Democrats on a framework deal to pass the so-called DREAMers Act, which would protect roughly 800,000 young illegal immigrants, whose deportation had been deferred under the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals order.
