Vulnerable Republicans throw 'Hail Mary' on pre-existing conditions

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Dozens of vulnerable House Republicans have recently signed on to bills or resolutions in support of pre-existing conditions protections, part of an 11th-hour attempt to demonstrate their affinity for one of ObamaCare’s most popular provisions.

Thirty-two of the 49 GOP incumbents in races deemed competitive by the nonpartisan Cook Political Report have backed congressional measures on pre-existing conditions in the past six weeks, according to an analysis by The Hill.

The moves, coming in the final weeks of the midterm campaign cycle, mark a course reversal for members of a party that for years railed against ObamaCare and called for its repeal.

Now, facing the threat of a “blue wave” and an onslaught of health-care attacks from Democratic candidates, vulnerable Republicans are running ads on pre-existing conditions and co-sponsoring measures that critics deride as meaningless.

Lying sacks of shit all of them.

1. I'll repeat that

Lying sacks of shit all of them!!!!

[Hortensis]

2. Even while a red-states case makes its way to SCOTUS

that would make requiring coverage for preexisting conditions unconstitutional for the entire nation. They're producing some trick cards that they claim would protect coverage for many of the 52 million with preexisting conditions, but not really.

3. YEA if you can

afford the cost of the plan!!! It would be WAY OUT OF MY REACH!!!! That's their plan.

6. Their plan is to make sure they don't pay in a penny,

even while they accumulate more and more of our national wealth and power in their hands and pay far less in taxes. Unsustainable, but those behind this aren't our brightest, even for their own interests, and really don't care. Some in the working classes will be paid decently and manage to do fairly well for themselves, such as through joining private, nongovernment cooperatives. Others won't, but how long people live when or after they can't work or get more ill than they can afford is intended to be their own concern.

Before the ACA I put off finding what was causing some symptoms because having a condition diagnosed could result in refusal of care if it got worse. Now they're diagnosed...

4. Non binding resolutions are insulting when they all voted countless

Times to scrap ACA, scrap preexisting condition coverages. Our candidate Betsy Dirksen Londrigan is now call our incumbent Rodney Davis as an outright LIAR in her TV ads......the first debate is Monday night and there will be fireworks.

5. What always bugged me about the Republican Health Plan

Is the fact there is NO PLAN...

All they know is they want to repeal ObamaCare…

No studies, no well thought out replacement, no proposals or drafts to show the American's THIER solution...

What is the Republican plan... replace ObamaCare with well intentioned thoughts?...

It baffles me that they are so gung ho to repeal ObamaCare and gut it, but can't show us a well thought out subsistute...

12. "ThoughtsAndPrayers".....aka "GOPeeDon'tCare".

[malaise]

7. Too late

Vote them out

[Wounded Bear]

8. 65 votes to kill it vs. 1 note to the principal suggesting they do something...

I wonder which fact I believe...

[Cha]

9. KR!!!

[ooky]

10. Everybody got to see their health care plan which was to

gut Medicaid, and didn't lower the cost of health care, or insurance premiums, or drug costs. Anybody who falls for any of their 11th hour lies would have to be a damn fool.

11. My number one rule. DON'T TRUST A REPUBLICAN.

If it is important to you and one has been soft on it, vote him or her out of office, or don't vote him or her into office.
