“But it certainly makes me more concerned.”

You should be…

I’m waiting for the first Republican to brag about how the Senate is “saving” one million lives.

“I’ve been uncommitted, and I remain uncommitted,” Cassidy said. “I mean, just dead, line, uncommitted. But it certainly makes me more concerned. It makes me want to explore this more.”

As in you’re weighing 22M dead Americans vs. what the Koch boys want? Man, that’s some heavy thinking there.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Get back to us when your “concern” turns into a firm “no” vote. Until then, save your faux concern over this entirely predictable result.

“I’ve been uncommitted, and I remain uncommitted,”

Indeed. You and the rest of the mentally ill GOP/Teatroll cabal. Rest assured though, we desperately wish you to be committed.

Spend billions to maybe save some lives from a terrorist act.
Cut billions from health care and let 10,000s of Americans die.
Trump will sign anything as long as he can say he “wins”.

Concerned that the bill will kill many, many people? Or concerned that a nonpartisan org called you out on it? Either way, take a stand or STFU. See also: Susan Concern-Collins.

A furrowed brow will make us take him more seriously as he casts his vote to kill thousands of people.

Thus guy is a certified MD? How dense does one have to be to not just recoil in horror to the projected loss of 22 million insured Americans? Was he expecting, maybe, only 12 million and that would be a good thing?

I’m conflicted. I think he should get back to practicing medicine to get a better education – but, then, I wouldn’t want to inflict such an uncaring doctor onto any patients.

Good gravy, it only makes him more concerned which is code for boy am I going to really have to lie to sell this turd.

“Concerned” but not able to form a difinitive conclusion ? what will it take?

Think about it - this is as though
you took the ENTIRE population of Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Cincinnati together … TIMES 22 !!!
and said POOF - from a healthcare standpoint - you are all now flying naked! stay well don’t get cancer! don’t have a heart-attack …

What is the problem? is throwing 22 million people off of healthcare - NOT ENOUGH???

Two choices:

  1. “I cannot vote for this bill in any form.”
  2. Hush up.

Even the Koch’s don’t want this pile of crap. For the wrong reasons mind you, but still…

Especially if one insists that the big insurance companies continue raking it in.
Might be a lot simpler if we looked at successful systems in places like France and Japan.

Kellyann Conway has zero credibility. Why the media even put this stooge on the air is beyond me. She does not add to our knowledge of the news or of Trump’s proposals. She subtracts.
