I guess the Republicans in Congress have nothing better to do with their time, eh?
Like....run the country? I predicted at the start of the current session of House members, that this group would accomplish....
I didn't realize the country stopped running.
What has the Republican controlled Congress done for America in the last 17 months that is note worthy? In other words, looking for something on the level of the Affordable Care Act. That improves our lives, nation, etc.
I rest my case....
You rest your case on nothing.
When you arrive at an argument, I'll proceed forth. Let me show you why you do not have an argument....
So, you're going to proceed, even though there's nothing to proceed about. Flip flop much?

Obamacare isn't the gift from God that you think it is. It's not good legislation. It's not really helping, overall. So, I, for one, am extremely happy the GOP hasn't done anything to the level of Obamacare for the US. Extremely happy.
Did you actually.....READ....the Affordable Care Act that is the law of the land? No? How could you know if its a good law or not? 26+ million people; whom did not have healthcare before, now have access to it. Plenty of employees of small businesses can now have access to healthcare were as before it was REALLY expensive. Children whom are under the age of 27 can use their parent's healthcare; try affording college with healthcare because you suffered from cancer at the time (I knew of one Domme that was in that problem). There is a number of preventive medicine processes that are now free, regardless of which of the four plan times one has access to. What are those plans?
Well, if you had read the ACA, you would know that, right?
Also, if you had read US History, you would know much of the things found in the ACA, were of Republican origins. Which means, you should hate the Republican Party just as much....
Nope. Didn't read it. Don't need to have read it, either. Healthcare costs are rising. Premiums are rising (which ties directly into the rising costs of healthcare). This didn't really make care affordable. It simply shifted the costs of an overly expensive health care system onto others. That doesn't actually make it affordable. Those preventive medicine processes aren't free. Their costs will get rolled into other categories. You and I both know that, and we both know that we both know that.

You're not likely to agree that a bill the GOP approves of actually improves our lives or our nation, so you want me to perform a miracle.
First they actually have to have one....IN WRITING....for me to determine if it would be a better law. Saying "The GOP has a better healthcare bill" means nothing if there is not actual bill ready for a signature by the President of the United States of America.
The GOP's healthcare bill is much like those 'fair/flat tax' schemes that are brought up every so often. Light on details and heavy on bullshit. That you never seem to have a problem with these bills shows your inability to know what makes for "....good legislation."
See? There's nothing you'd be willing to even look at.

I'm not Bones McCoy. I'm nowhere near as good as he. I'm not even a doctor, Joe.
That would be Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy; of the Starship NCC-1701 "Enterprise" of the Federation of Planets. Funny that you bring this up, since by that time, their healthcare system is levels beyond ours and has nearly removed the need for money (Capitalism being a 'dinosaur' concept by that time).
But that's all fiction,.....SCIENCE....fiction! Which means there is no way for you to be Mr. McCoy (nor Mr. S. Holmes). Most doctors feel the ACA is 'fine' but could be vastly improved upon (something most conservatives hate to hear). If the ACA was not established, many more people would be without coverage. As the rise of costs pushed even mid-sized companies to forgo giving healthcare as part of the employment package. Bankruptcies due to medical bills would not only be the #1 leading cause of bankruptcies in America; but would start raising everyone else's rates (thus forcing more people out of healthcare coverage). A vicious cycle. One you were not aware of at the time!
You might want to stand up next time you read my posts, Joether. It's been said that the taller you are, the less things go over your head. So, here's what you missed...
Me: "...so you want me to perform a miracle."
