It’s a pre-existing condition of Republicans to be heartless. And we have few protections against it.

“May”…?

That’s a feature, not a big in GOP world. Why is Grassley pretending otherwise?

Talk about witch hunts. RWNJs like Cruz are obsessed with doing everything they can to wreak damage, pain, and death upon the young, poor, infirm and elderly, all to reward their rich friends. Absolutely despicable!

It’s a bad bill (even by Republican standards) presented by possibly the least popular Senator in the history of that body. Double whammy doesn’t bode well for passage.

“There’s a real feeling that that’s subterfuge to get around pre-existing conditions,” Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) said.

Sen. Cruz: “You’re damn right it is! You got a problem with that, Grass-hat?”

The amendment to the health care legislation that is currently stalled in the Senate was proposed by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX). It would allow for insurers to sell stingy stinky plans that are not compliant with ACA regulations as long as they also sell smell at least one compliant plan.

FIFY

Say what you like about Grassley but he has a fine tuned sense of what will and will not fly in the heartland. He knows this bill is several bridges too far for America and he’s not about to get caught on the wrong side of any of them.

Carefully worded statement, Senator. We know you’re not one given to hysterical hyperbole.

Oh, unless the bill is being supported by a Democratic president. Then it “pulls the plug on granndma.” Putz.

When will the GOP Senate finally vote Carnival Cruz off this island, and send him back to Cuba?

don’t you mean Canada?

(though, I like Canada so I wouldn’t wish him on them either.)

Senator Grasshole’s biggest pre-existing condition is his way-too-long tenure in the Senate.

Hey, if the Senate’s hatred of Ted Cruz keeps this awful bill from becoming law then I’ll take it.

Every once in a while, Grassley makes you think he’s not a neanderthal.

I don’t know, “criminal,” “assholish,” and “typical Republican” comes to mind long before “subterfuge.”

That isn’t up to the Senate. If it were up to the Senate, I believe Carnie Cruz would already be gone. He doesn’t seem to be liked by anyone.

It will have to be the voters of Texas who toss Carnie Cruz off the island. They get the opportunity next year.

What is the point of Cruz’s amendment? To allow companies to sell insurance that doesn’t cover anything?
