Well, when you are holding onto shit and trying to hide it from the person you want to con into buying it from you, it does start to seep through your fingers and expose the whole distasteful racket.

(68,556 posts)President Donald Trump said Monday the Republican health-care bill being negotiated in Congress ultimately will protect Americans with pre-existing conditions as well as Obamacare does.
I want it to be good for sick people. Its not in its final form right now," he said during an Oval Office interview Monday with Bloomberg News. "It will be every bit as good on pre-existing conditions as Obamacare."
What does this mean? It means there can't be a vote on whatever it is that's in Trump's head this week. There just isn't time to rewrite all of that by Friday. Now Trump has given every wavering Republican all the cover they need to say no to this bill. Let's give them a little a push.
House Republicans are hell-bent on ripping away our health insurance. Call your member of Congress at 202-224-3121, and demand they vote NO on a renewed Trumpcare that is worse than the one before. Remind them they work for you.
