Rhesus Pieces posted:Yeah, the bill has only been officially released for a few hours now. It was kept secret for so long purely to suppress coverage and pushback from the opposition. We all had a good idea of what would be in the bill but nothing solid to attack until right now. Expect coverage and public outrage to ramp up considerably from here on out, but the amount of time for that to derail things has been compressed purposefully. At least we got a little under a week instead of mere hours like they wanted.

I can. I'm honestly surprised that no Mega Church somewhere has come up with some fraudulent "not-insurance" that they strong arm their parishioners into signing up and "donating" toward yet. Or maybe they have and we don't really know about it?

They all want to keep their heads down and just not get past the vote for a motion to proceed. That way they can avoid voting yes or no.

WHY BONER NOW posted:Part of me is disappointed the republican health care bill is dying...I was hoping if it passed, the loving ghouls that voted for it would get removed from office, and the pendulum swings back the other way and single payer pushes through. But if the bill dies, I think the outrage will die and most republicans will hold their seats. Am I wrong? :/ You are wrong because this way tens of thousands of people won't die.

tekz posted:The Democrats have a supermajority in Califoria, a state that has the sixth largest economy in the world. Given these conditions, why have they not been able to table and pass a better bill? It's always disingenuous when people talk about California being the 6th largest economy in the world. Yes that's technically true but it's not like it's all theirs to keep and spend.
