Do you guys think medicare-for-all is a saleable idea for the American people?

Forgive me for asking what might be a very simple question: why won't Republicans be able to pass this bill in both the House and the Senate when they have majorities in both? Are there really enough that would take a stand and vote it down? Why wouldn't they just take the party line and vote in favor of it?

Because it's going to take health care away from 24 million people, and there's an election next year?

So how will they be able to actually repeal the ACA even if they massively change the AHCA to make it more palatable to the public? It seems like a losing battle because the ACA is pretty popular.

Again sorry for what may seem dumb questions. I feel like I have a decent understanding of the issues but I am terribly uninformed when it comes to basic civics.

You only need 50 votes for a bill you pass via budget reconciliation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reconciliation_(United_States_Congress)

I've got my own problems with prescriptions. Some of it comes from my insurance company, some of it comes from my new psychiatrist.

I'm taking two alpha blockers that help me control some very painful trauma-related symptoms. I started them under my old psychiatrist. But my new psychiatrist doesn't understand just how bad the symptoms were and why the meds would help.

So I've had to ask my therapist to talk to my psychiatrist about just how bad the untreated symptoms are.

Having your therapist and your psychiatrist communicate with each other is just good practice, no matter the situation.
