Oh god that was infuriating. The problem with growing up rich is you really have no clue what anything costs.
Paris Hilton is even dumber, but she never ran for office so its hard to hate the woman.
Yeah, like him spouting off multiple times about 21 year old people starting out after school with $12 per year insurance.
Insurance: Yes.
But insurance is not actual healthcare. We have a much larger problem with health services as a whole which cannot be solved with the Democrats or Republicans plans and certainly not Trumps rounding errors. He has no concept of the issues at hand because he is so ridiculously rich he just cant grasp it.
Lawsuits would obviously ensue perhaps with injunctive relief via the federal courts.
Not enough stability, by design.
because we're no longer a nation of laws.
got it.
PC Geek prefers "leaders" like Duterte or Putin. Perhaps he would prefer to live in such shitholes?
Yes, we are a nation of laws. I just have No Sympathy for MS13. Do you?
Maybe we just don't understand them...
Exaggerate and misrepresent what I said.
This.Repubs just have to quit destabilizing it.

Either we are a nation of laws and those laws protect the MS13 as well as they do any one else in our society, or we are not and we are all subject to being the ones that some arbitrary person does not have sympathy for at this moment. Then the 'law' becomes what is politically expedient at the moment, or what is emotionally satisfying to the most people. We are already dangerously close to this. We don't need the President encouraging it.
Senate Finance Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch said on Monday that senators for now are too divided to keep working on healthcare overhaul legislation and that he and other senior Republicans will take that message to the White House.
President Donald Trump has been urging lawmakers not to drop the matter, despite a series of failed votes last week. "There's just too much animosity and we're too divided on healthcare," Hatch said in an interview with Reuters.
He said he would prefer Congress not appropriate cost-sharing subsidies that help make Obamacare plans affordable but added, "I think we’re going to have to do that."
Hatch said although he understood Mulvaney's position, he did not think he was right. The senator said he saw no real desire on the part of Democrats to work together on the healthcare issue "and I have to say some Republicans are at fault there, too."
Hatch said he had not given up on healthcare. "I think we ought to acknowledge that we can come back to healthcare afterwards but we need to move ahead on tax reform," Hatch said.
Asked who would relay the message to the Trump administration, Hatch laughed and said, "I'm going to be one who does that," adding that he expected Republican leaders of the House and Senate, Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell, would do so, too.
Hatch said lawmakers would need to appropriate the cost-sharing subsidy payments that the administration has been making. Trump has threatened to cut off these subsidies, which help insurers keep deductibles down for low-income people who get health insurance through the Obamacare exchanges.
"I'm for helping the poor, always have been. And I don't think they should be bereft of healthcare," Hatch said.
In hindsight it is too unstable, but that is because the wording of it relied on the government being dependable. I don't think anyone could have foreseen just how unstable our entire government has become.

And then an officer grabs the wrong guy and ends up breaking his neck. Great. Totally worth exposing police departments to major lawsuits. But no worries, it makes pcgeek feel a little better knowing his big tough president is watching out for him, so it's ok.The law doesn't say you have to hold their head while putting them in the car. I'm not advocating beating on them while they are hand cuffed. Just toss them into the car. And no I don't have a lot of sympathy for MS13, they are comparable to ISIS in their brutality.

There is a huge difference between gently guiding their head into the car and breaking his neck. Don't be obtuse.
/tin foil hatWas talking to a lawyer friend the other day. She maintains that the GOP have and have had no intention of replacing the ACA, that it's all a sham. The insurance companies are making a killing right now. They can opt out of offering plans if they want to. She says they made sure there were 3 no votes and if one of those hadn't worked out they would have worked out another. All the yes votes were by Senators who didn't want to alienate their base.
She predicts that after the midterms the GOP will force Trump to resign by threatening to release ever more damaging revelations and that Pence will take over the White House.

Awesome graph. Fall color change by state? Pumpkin production?
Which states get subsidies Trump is threatening to withhold.
