Seems Shaheen is vying to become our side's version of Susan Collins

She's not running again. So ........

signing on to a full ban on women's reproductive care in the next day or two?

That's kind of what it sounds like.

of what is about to come

or if they will choose someone else to take this one. Maybe there are volunteers or a lottery system....

With Satan is coming to light. Who could have foresaw this? I am sure much more to come in the way of fucking all us commoners, not the royal families up top.

We opened up your goddamn crooked government so people wouldn't starve, NO MORE CAVING!!!!!

told me "we won... we didn't cave"

Always in a tight spot, stuck between a rock and a hard place.

The carrot will keep being moved until we end up slaves to Big Insurance and Facist Governance. The carrot will be a rotten dehydrated 'treat' before we ever get a bite.

You do realize that the government has been picking up the subsidies so if people don't renew their insurance because the premiums are cut, the insurance companies aren't getting that? And insurance rates are going up because we're using more healthcare and more pharmaceuticals. Insurance companies are capped and required to spend 80 or 85% on medical care (depending on if large or small group) with the rest for overhead and profit where applicable. Rates are rising because costs are rising. It's not a conspiracy.

I would rather pay MORE TAXES and GET SOMETHING FOR THEM than have my taxes go to fucking billionaires!!!!!! If that makes me a socialist, then so be it!!!!

Socialist Time Out. We'll have fun on the bench of shame.

Privatizing what should be done communally will ALWAYS cost more that what the services actually cost. Those CEOs and corporate board members don't dictate conditions of service for free, and they do not settle for the going rate of the professionals who provide actual medical care.

And since BIG INSURANCE (meaning the entire industry) donates lavishly to political candidates and runs a boatload of ads during Medicare open season, they are making enough money and want to make more. The partnership between and industry and the pols who can make that industry more profitable is not something done for the people, but just for money. If it oinks like a pig and smells like pig crap, it ain't corporate benevolence. Maybe we won't call it a conspiracy, a word I did NOT use, but rather a team effort to profit at the expense of the consumer. They don't pay pols gobs of money just for fun.

Edited to add: Part of the insurance premiums we pay go for stock market investments the companies make. They do not just hold all the money in a drawer for payouts, they invest. An item that costs them that you missed is when their investments do not pay off as hoped. As our economy sinks, and it is, their stock investments will lose value too. Guess where they will make up the loss. Check your mail for premium increases; they won't all be based on actual cost of providing care.

The bill to be introduced in Dec is the Democrat’s bill .

What part of the BBB or the CR did you allow negotiations ?


✌🏻

Execute pregnant women to ensure they are too dead to get an abortion?

as soon as you appease them , they want something else

The difference is , now we don't have any leverage

The framing is already horrible

It will reach a point where the only non-violent solution is a national strike, which would cause tremendous pain to most people.

Any protestations from the 8 Dems with lies about Repugs pinky swore to us and we trust them, just make me sick.

If I remember, they needed to assert that the subsidy would not pay the portion of the bill that covered abortion costs except when medically needed.

I never bought an ACA plan, so I don't know what is covered and how it is paid for.

As the Hyde Act precludes the government paying for abortion, I what changes they want.

Now that they know Dems will, "Negotiate."

That sounds like big government control.
