You two are both confusing health care costs with insurance cost.
I’m not. I know exactly what I’m talking about. Yes, that goes directly to that, but overall trend has not abated, but quite the opposite. And, yes the expansion of Medicaid has contributed so wnat you are referring to does feed and is a cause of the overall expense increase.
Yet the idiot in chief with both houses on his side they couldn’t come up with anything better than ACÁ how many years did they have to get a plan in place ?
They actually are. You're just missing it because they aren't doing it by headlines. Look into what's happening with the healthcare system including what Seema Verma has been doing to transform the healthcare system. You see, she realizes it takes time to move a complicated system and 70,000 pages of legislation and Billions of dollars given away vs. creating proper incentives and structural changes. It will also be an iterative process. It won't be a straight line. But, there are things being put in place the last couple years and ongoing that is going to transform the system. However, it's not a straight giveaway, so some people think it's not happening.
Sorry. The world doesn't work the way you tell it to.
So is it true that they could vote different tomorrow?
Yes. Today's vote was just to prevent filibustering, so the vote goes forward. The interesting thing is it's more likely someone who voted yes today vote no tomorrow than the other way around. I'm not talking about individuals. Just in concept.
The fact is the Democrats look really bad on this. The Republicans have followed every procedure properly. As a matter of fact they went above and beyond past precedent despite the rhetoric (funny Ford's lawyers now want a private interview after neglecting to tell her that was offered before). All this did was allow the vote which at this point they absolutely is what they should be doing and should have been approved 100-0.
Tomorrow night's vote is all that matters. So, the Dems voted against prescribed procedure today. Tomorrow, Manchin and Collins can vote against and look like the smartest people in the room (if a no vote is what you're after).
Sorry. The world doesn't work the way you tell it to.
We deserve Kavanaugh. A nation of deplorable trash deserves a Trump Presidency and a court full of Kavanaugh trash.
Agreed we deserve this total trash ..
This entire administration is total fucking trash. Its beyond comprehension at this point.
Once again I have to ask what's worse?
This fucked up, narcissistic, hateful, lying trash of an administration.
Or the people who support it, believe in it, and will vote for it agan?
Both. Its disturbing that people defend and actually back this garbage administration. AND WILL VOTE FOR IT AGAIN!?!? Its sickening.
If the Dems put up a more moderate candidate who doesn't attack sexual assault victims, I bet they'd win (assuming the Economy doesn't keep zooming up which one would think it can't possibly, because that's ultimately what people vote on).
If they go all Elizabeth Warren on the country, they will lose.
The other candidate matters.

The economy was "zooming" up when tRump was elected. And again you suggest that Hillary attacked sexual assault victims.
Truth is you have no idea what you are talking about.

Oh. And sorry you lost. The beauty and genius of our framers is that you can now elect a Democrat House and Senate and in 2 years you can elect a Democrat President and you can continue to do so until the Court flips the way you want it. And the pendulum will continue to swing.
Honestly, I find the whole thing funny b/c this fight is really about abortion and choice which most people would agree with you on, yet you've somehow managed to make this a Constitutional fight that you are completely wrong about. You'd be better to voice that concern instead of the stupidity of the Democrats that plays right into Trump's hands in that he's diverted everyone's attention from the real issue.
So, for the record, if that was your argument, I'd agree with you. I hope choice stays in place. I actually believe it will b/c if the Supreme Court ever overturns Roe v Wade (which I actually believe they won't, but if they do), Congress will enact a STRONGER law to protect it while local courts put stays and other legal things in place to allow choice to continue until such a thing happens. Why? Because our framers are geniuses and created checks and balances and ways to shift power over time that makes sure the people's voices are heard even if there's times the pendulum swings too far one way at a particular time.
So, keep Trump in power by diverting from the issues and fighting battles not only can't you win but shouldn't.
Am I to infer you voted for Trump?
Hahahahhahahahahahahaha
I'll give you this: at least you admitted it.
I have no problem saying I voted for a guy who did a porn star before he was President rather than a woman who attacked sexual assault victims, including one that is the text book case of work place sexual harassment.

Another poster using white male in a derogatory manner. I'm shocked. Seems to be the new attack...angry white guy....oh and old....angry old white guy.
If Collins says she will vote no I am going to think that Manchin must have told her that he would take the heat for switching his vote to no tomorrow.
That's the way I hope it pans out. But I'm likely wrong.

You need both to flip If you go based on today's vote, it's currently 51-49 with Manchin and Murkowsi going against party line. If Manchin flips and Collins doesn't, Pence breaks tie. So, you are definitely wrong.

I'd say that's pretty spot on. I will continue to be critical to other WMAs until they stop acting like jagoffs and giving the rest of us a bad name. Respect is earned, not given.

Did she not attack sexual assault victims? Or, was it a different time? Or, are we just supposed to forgive and forget b/c you say so?
And yet you guys still don't understand why Trump was elected. Too funny.

I just find it weird when it's ok to do that and when it's not. So let me get this straight, all muslims are terrorists is ok or bad? How about all mexicans are illegals? Or all illegal immigrants are gang members? What about all white guys are angry sexual assaulters? Which are ok and which are not?

Saying the Republicans have followed every procedure properly on this is ridiculously absurd. The Republicans have done their best to push this nomination through without regards for normal, due process. Both Republicans and Democrats requested Kavanaugh's writings from theBush Library. When the library said they could not deliver them before October, which was not unreasonable given there is no hard deadline for approving the nomination, the GOP basically said "nevermind, we don't need the documents". Of the papers they do have, the GOP's "independent" reviewer to determine which of the documents the Democrats were permitted to view is the lawyer for Steve Bannon and McGahn. McGahn's swan song before he's fired by Trump is to plow through with his SC candidate. And the latest FBI investigation/background check, which is routine for accusations against federal judiciary candidates at any time during the process, was restricted by Trump to ensure no new details emerge that could hurt Kavanaugh. Of course Trump blamed the Senate for the restrictions, and the GOP Senators blamed Trump and everyone in GOP is happy with that because they can say they "followed every procedure properly", "went above and beyond" - went above and beyond to push through a candidate who any reasonable person would reject. There are plenty of equally qualified conservative judges who are more dignified, respectful and less partisan than Kavanaugh. Mitch McConnell wouldn't hire Kavanaugh to be his intern, but he's fine putting him on the Supreme Court - victory!

Very disappointed in her. And she hasn't even said the word yes,yet.
He reassured her that he wouldn't touch Roe v Wade; I guess she also believes that the check is in the mail and I won't say the other.
(mixed up my no's and yes's)
I'd say that's pretty spot on. I will continue to be critical to other WMAs until they stop acting like jagoffs and giving the rest of us a bad name. Respect is earned, not given.
