"The republicans have a health care plan - it's called get sick & die" - dems are missing a great |
|
opportunity here to score a smashing PR victory against the repub vote to end the HCR law. And what a great chance to call for medicare for all or single payer. going to be wasted though.

The pukes constantly go for the Corporate Death Panel approach.
I hope it is a question of timing, not wanting to blow the issue early and make everyone weary of the topic.

2. Medicare for All sounds like a promising idea |
|
But since the health insurance companies have already told Obama what to sign, I guess we're gonna have to wait a little longer for health care reform.

3. Medical malpractice tort reform is the first offering of the "replacement" agenda. |
|
Because heaven forbid too many diagnostic tests are performed to keep the guesswork down.

4. Take away the congresscritter's taxpayer funded healthcare! |
|
I wonder if anybody has done the math on how much it would save if the taxpayers didn't subsidize their reps healthcare. Why should we fork out the money for THEIR premiums if they want to put us on the "get sick and die" plan?

6. Seriously. Talk about death panels. |
|
How about ads showing the repukes unplugging grandma from life support, and Dems plugging her back up.
This is a golden opportunity, but Dems are notoriously poor at messaging.

DNR (Do Not Resuscitate)....we'll need the KMN (Kill Me Now). Damned if I'm giving my last penny to Big Med, Big Pharma, etc.
But you have to remember, which is very unfortunate....the Dems are just taking orders from TPTB. Sure they let us have a few cool dudes/women like Kucinich and Sanders....but basically TPTB call the shots. The Dems are just little political minions and do as they are told.
Why do you think they keep missing their chance to talk? To use their powder?
It took me a while to accept this....but once I did, I was less stressed.
We are on our own. We must accept responsibility for ourselves. The gov't isn't going to help....in fact, they don't care about us at all.
I'm sorry. I hope I'm wrong....but reality says otherwise. Please don't kill the messenger.
