“Medicaid is the program in this country that provides health insurance to one in five Americans, to 30 million kids, to nearly two out of every three people in a nursing home. These cuts are blood money. People will die.”

You wanna make a billionaire tax-cut omelet, you gotta break a few million sick-kid eggs.

(Oh – and ten’ll get you twenty that Trump tweets “Pocahontas” by the day of the vote.)

If Dems can’t take the offensive on this and make it stick, well, let’s just say I’d be beyond frustrated.

Need to fight every battle like it’s a death match. Because it literally is.

Clearly, the Repugs place a higher value on tax cuts for the obscenely wealthy than they value necessary health care for average, not to mention poor and/or disadvantaged citizens. Despicable! But then such despicable behavior is to be expected of Repuglicans.

They’ll assuredly devise some tactic to successfully push back against this.

No other democratically governed country is trying to pass or even consider a health care bill that will make life worse for its citizens.
Even the most die hard Tory supports the NHS and looks for ways to improve it.
Are Israeli’s in the street urging a end to Golda Meir care?
In Rwanda, yes Post genocide Rwanda their health system includes house calls. At the very least I think we can learn a bit from other countries.

You seem to be operating under the misapprehension that we’re still a democratically governed country.

I wish I was being snarky or ironic.

Possibly true. But we’re only trying to make it worse for the undeserving blood sucking leeches that are driving the productivity and vitality of our nation into the ground.

This is the kind of bombastic, hyperbolic language we need to use. This sort of sound byte resonates with the white “working class” voter (funny, when it’s non-white, they’re just referred to as ‘the poor’). Just like “death panels” turned them against the ACA. We need to fight fire with fire. The piece of sh*t GOP supports a serial rapist, traitorous con-man. They are not worthy of our respect, or for us to stay on the high road. We need to fight them in the mud. With all due great respect for President Obama, we can’t go high when they live, breed and fester in the low.

Let’s hope this sets the example that we follow.

If that woman is going to keep talking like this, we will need to increase our demonization of her in frequency, intensity, and crazy.

I’d put it even more bluntly:

Instead of a quick and relatively merciful bullet to the head for sick, old, poor folks, Republican Senators want to see them slowly strangle to death.

I’d call this thing the “Piano Wire Health Care Bill.”

That’s exactly right!

They’ll be STATE death panels instead of FEDERAL death panels, but death panels nonetheless.
