Shouda thought about that before you threw Bernie under the bus.

Now you're just going to have to live with it.

I often wonder why everyone says "our drug companies"? There are maybe two max that are truly based here the rest are almost all European. The only reason they maintain a presence here is to get access to our research.

The only research they do themselves is in how to tweak a drug formula so it can be patented for another seven years (Purple pills anyone?) or to come up with another penis starch formula.

Here is the reality.


Morons who gobble up fake news notwithstanding, the ACA could be defunded by a simple majority of the Senate and allowed to die on the vine, probably throwing off many Chumpsters in the process. But a replacement to the ACA is new legislation and can be filibustered. So Trump can't replace Obamacare but he can destroy it. I am not putting this past Trump, who ripped off his customers at TU.



Perhaps if some hospital CEOs kiss his ring he will let the ACA stay in certain hospitals....

I can see them doing that......and then blaming Obama for its demise. "It was poorly designed and doomed to fail anyways."...........

The nation’s hospital industry warned President-elect Trump and congressional leaders on Tuesday that repealing the Affordable Care Act could cost hospitals $165 billion by the middle of the next decade and trigger “an unprecedented public health crisis.”

I can prepare you any kind of study on anything you want and make it come out anyway you want it to.

So, how big of a clusterf*ck is the GOP's Repeal & Replace effort going to become? They're backpedaling faster than Lance Armstrong with a snoot full of steroids.
