Of all the cabinet positions HHS will have the greatest impact on all of our lives. The options that Price proposes will effect not just those on Medicaid and Medicare but their children.
So what info will disappear from HHS website that we need to archive?

I’m getting really sick of waking up to bad news everyday, but I think this is to be expected with President Bannon in office and his den of thieves. Price can do a lot of damage to the ACA without having legislation offered by Republicans and signed into law by the orange asshole in the White House.

For my money though, the story today should be of General Flynn’s lying about discussing sanctions with Russia before the election after he denied he had done so. The FBI now finds he has, even though he’s recently changed his story to obfuscate from their findings…Watch the Trumpsters try desperately to change the subject and deflect with some new or old chaos-multiplier that he’ll get the entire news media more willing to focus on.

Pick your poison…KAC breaking the law by pimping Ivanka’s product line while working in the White House or Flynn’s flirtation with breaking the Logan Act. No matter how you slice it, its one infraction of law after another and they’re only piling up daily.

All of it.

The one good thing about this is he no longer represents Georgia. Maybe he will be so busy with insider trading he will forget to abolish ACA, Medicare and Medicaid.

A medical doctor needs at least some compassion for people. It’s something that Price lacks. Unless he can profit from it.

Our MSM seems very reluctant to go here. Our press appears to do a lot of sell-censoring, when it comes to reporting on the GOP, and they’ve been especially mum, even furtive on this important issue. Probably because collusion of high US government officials and even the unpresident with the government of a hostile foreign power is unthinkable, especially, I don’t know why, when the collusion can be linked directly to the GOP. The “daddy party” as you said yesterday? But, as I said once before, in these times, “the unthinkable,” and I don’t mean CT, has been looming large and in our face. Many of us get it, but the press is lagging way behind us.

Note the “evenhandedness” of this AP story. Nothing about the manifest lack of qualifications among trump’s nominees, just coverage as if it were the usual partisan gaming. And “democrats say” that GOP plans for replacing Medicare and the ACA would leave people with inadequate coverage when it’s right there in the numbers and analyses by every group that doesn’t use magic asterisks.

“No doubt, those people earning less than a living or a sustenance living should have put their money into retirement accounts, and trust the market; and forgone things like food and shelter while they were young.”

Or, you know, in the case of those aforementioned conservatives not voted for Republicans.

I wonder if getting children vaccinated will now become completely voluntary as parents see fit.

Oh FFS, either dye the eyebrows gray or dye the hair black, but make a choice!

So we are getting every crook, con, corrupt, racist, unethical, immoral person Don could find… all approved by the 52 racist senators in Congress… what a country… what a country.
