So now healthcare is being driven by the same shortsighted ignorance used by people who buy cars based solely on the monthly payment. Also discouraging people from actually using the care they pay for.

Mind_Taker posted: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? You need 60 votes in the Senate. The Republicans have 52.

I think the path of least resistance for them is to pass it in the house and have it die in the senate. That way house members get to take credit for the vote and the right wing media can shift the blame to senate democrats.

Guys just quietly roll over on the healthcare poor people genocide bill, it's way more important to focus on more nebulous Russia poo poo that absolutely has more of an effect on everyday Americans than their soon to be gone healthcare.

Azathoth posted:What, specifically, should Democrats do that they're not already doing? I'm seeing and hearing all of my elected officials speaking out, and a whole bunch of others, but that's obviously not enough to stop McConnell. Make a spectacle of it. That followup Politico story is what I'm talking about. I know it's a lost cause, but the theater of this matters for 2018- you want to be portrayed as going down fighting rather than just meekly surrendering because people are going to loving hate this bill. You want to make sure every GOP shitbag owns their vote for this horror show.

UCS Hellmaker posted:Dumb gently caress wants to make the hardship exempation broader is what the EO will be about, which will be wonderful to see cause cascade effects if it even is possible to change. Voters in Virginia, while handing the GOP their rear end, just said that healthcare was their biggest issue when it wasn't mentioned at all during the campaign. Congress would have to be suicidal to try any funny business with the insurance markets from now on because voters know exactly who would be responsible for wrecking things.
