does it depend on how you define the word ‘it’? or whether a blow job is sex?
see the definition of duck, Senator…
Let’s define “better” as “unlike the way the CBO defined the outcome of the bill for tens of millions of people who’d lose health insurance.” Something like that. Just for the sake of argument.
P.S. If I had the power I would do like a schoolyard bully and make him eat dirt. Literally eat dirt. I’d push his face in the ground and make him chew the dirt and swallow it. And before I walked away I’d inform him it would happen every time he talks this way and I hear about it.
Asked if the bill bettered the state of health care,
Cassidy replied: “It depends on how you define ‘better.’”
No it doesn’t, Bill …
It depends on how you define ’ who’s an Asshole ’ —
OMG, the reason why President Obama expanded Medicaid was because there was so many families living on the poverty line that could not afford insurance, but could not qualify for Medicaid. What will change under Trumpcare is now these families will go back to where they started, no health insurance, no Medicaid, and no help. They won’t be able to buy health insurance if they have health problems or their child has health problems if they live in red states because those states will be the states who do the waivers for insurance companies to not have to offer insurance to anyone that is sick. What is good about Trumpcare Sen. Cassidy? I know what it is. It gives tax cuts to your rich donors.
Questions:
• How many Trump voters are diabetic themselves or have diabetics in their family who will now be forced back to emergency rooms now that Medicaid funding is savaged?
• How many Trump voters will be forced to take in elderly parents or relatives who can no longer afford to stay in nursing homes because Medicaid funding is being slashed?
• How many Trump voters will find out that lifetime caps are imposed on their employer-provided health insurance, and one medical emergency will blow past the limit, leading directly to financial ruin?
A so-called health care policy that’s cheap as hell and doesn’t cover a damn thing that you need it to cover most assuredly doesn’t come under better.
Beat me to it, darn you! 
“So let me reserve judgment until I finish saying that.”

“I’m voting for this bill and won’t even read it this weekend. Mitch told us saying we’re thinking it over will make us seem human.”
If we make so that you’re on Medicaid but then you move over into a generous credit that allows you to kind of float on up, actually that’s going to be better.”
As ALWAYS the concept of the working poor never gets through to Rethugs. “Credits” mean very little to the working poor unless it translates to cash in hand.
Another white male Republican Senator without a spine,a heart ,or sense of concern for his constituents.No surprise. Like the Apprentice in the White House this guy has loser written all over him.
Just like buying a car, if its a lot cheaper and there is less required safety/features requirements its got to be better right?
It’s magic!!
Good point. And if you define “better” as “worse,” then yes the repeal bill is definitely better.
Question should be about Cassidy voters. He’s the one pushing just now. How many of his voters will be hurt? How many of those actually vote?
Words can mean what they mean, and also the opposite of what they mean, and sometimes whatever I want them to mean.
From his wikipedia profile:
William Morgan Cassidy was born in Highland Park, Illinois, one of four sons born to Elizabeth and James F. Cassidy, and is of Irish and Welsh descent. He received a B.S. Degree in 1979 from Louisiana State University and an M.D. from LSU School of Medicine in 1983. Cassidy specialized in the treatment of diseases of the liver at the Earl K. Long Medical Center His wife, Laura (née Layden), is also a physician; they met as medical residents in Los Angeles. In the early 1990s, both worked at the Earl K. Long Medical Center, where Laura was the hospital’s head of surgery. Cassidy, worked as a gastroenterologist at the facility till it closed down in 2013.
In 1998, Cassidy helped found the Greater Baton Rouge Community Clinic to provide uninsured residents of the greater Baton Rouge area with access to free health care. The Clinic provides low-income families with free dental, medical, mental health and vision care through a “virtual” approach that partners needy patients with doctors who provide care free of charge.
Cassidy has also been involved in setting up the nonprofit Health Centers in Schools, which vaccinates children in the East Baton Rouge Parish School System against Hepatitis B and flu.
In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, Cassidy led a group of health care volunteers to convert an abandoned K-Mart building into an emergency health care facility, providing basic health care to victims of the hurricane.
Given this record, Cassidy’s refusal to acknowledge the horrific impact TrumpCare will have on the very population he has been treating is a testament to the mind-boggling extent that Republicans sacrifice whatever personal integrity they possess on the altar of fealty to their party and to Trump.
Question should be about Cassidy voters. He’s the one pushing just now. How many of his voters will be hurt? How many of those actually vote?
The questions should be about every Trump Republican in Congress. With respect to Cassidy, I would bet that only a small fraction of the poor people he’s assisted in his clinical work are even registered to vote.
What is good about Trumpcare Sen. Cassidy? I know what it is. It gives tax cuts to your rich donors.
Bingo. And no doubt Cassidy benefits himself from the tax cuts.
Namby pamby two-bit man-whores. That is what the Republican party has been reduced to. ‘I have strong reservations about xyz but I’ll continue to ratfk the public in support of my ‘winning’ party!’
“It is cheaper, and it depends on how you define better,” Cassidy said. “Obamacare had bells and whistles on all of their policies.”
Bells and whistles like, you know, coverage for treatable illnesses that can be catastrophic without affordable health care like diabetes, maternity care, no annual or lifetime limits for your kid’s cancer treatment, no denial or sky-high premiums if pre-existing conditions. no cancelling your coverage if you have the audacity to use it. Yeah, bells and whistles - totally unnecessary stuff.
• How many Trump voters will blame Obama and the obstructionist Democrats?
