I worked in healthcare from 1970-2015, and if you asked me to pick the worst job description of someone to oversee healthcare it would be a Republican orthopedic surgeon. Absolutely cannot think of a worse choice.
But, but, now I am confused.
Lamar Smith just told me it is best to get my information directly from the president…
And Price tells me that Dems are using the president’s words against him.
Who do I believe???
So, we are going to have this crook running HHS.
How very “Republican” - crooks and criminals throughout this administration
…as they wish…
Excellent point!
I am listening to Price’s answers and feeling despair. He is equivocating on most questions which a reasonable nominee should be able to answer clearly. Based on this hearing and today’s headlines about executive orders regarding the EPA and pipelines, etc. any optimism I felt after Saturday’s marches is quickly evaporating We won’t survive long enough for our protests to result in action.
Price threw some shade on Talking Points Memo when Sen. Bill Nelson raised a 2012 story by TPM,
Ha, that must have been a fun moment for the TPM staff live-blogging this.
Do you all get to do a shot whenever a nominee snarks at you like that?
Looks like Price is an insider traitor, a criminal that he going to be rewarded for his unethical behavior in congress. Republicans are proving once again that they put party over country.
Don’t despair. The Republicans are flaunting their hypocritical, unethical, and corrupt selves. The people won’t tolerate it for long.
These incompetent asshats have been repeating their inane little ditty, Repeal and Replace, ever since 2010.
AND THEY STILL HAVE NO REPLACEMENT PLAN? For almost EIGHT years they’ve done nothing but whine and complain and make empty, vapid promises. Oh, right, GOP Congress. What was I thinking.
Affordable insurance for everyone, and less expensive…
In other words, paying through the nose again, with deductibles you will never meet, and coverage caps.
Paying through the nose, and getting nothing for it.
“The Price plan takes America back to the dark days when health care worked only for the health and the wealthy.”
Why can’t Democrats echo truthful slogans like this with the same frequency and gusto with which Republicans and their right-wing media echo lies?
"I think that it’s important to appreciate that no system that any – that the president has supported or that I have supported would leave anybody without the opportunity to gain coverage."
Right. It’s just like my opportunity to retire tomorrow.
C’mon, Powerball!
The republicans keep saying “obamacare” is collapsing, but then don’t explain that’s because of the 8 years they spent sabotaging it. And currently ramping that effort up
Price is unethical, his blatant insider trading proves that so don’t begin to think that every word out of his mouth isn’t a lie.
His record is very clear and there is a reason that the Yam picked him. They want to end healthcare as we know it and return ASAP to the shitty, strictly for profit, rigged set up we had pre-Obama.
I can only hope that the supposed vouchers that they’ll issue will cover most of my needs.
I know that it won’t for many despite the rhetoric.
The good news is, that the crazed teabaggers are even bucking the Trumpskyites on this one. Maybe those dimbulbs will be of some help after all.
Now, now, y’all don’t understand; Price wants to offer health care to all…who can afford it.
WATCH LIVE: Dems Use Trump’s Words To Slam Price’s Health Care Plans
Sneaky bastards!
“I’ll simply say that virtually all the attempts I’ve witnessed to characterize Dr. Price’s views as being ‘outside of the mainstream’ have been absurd, unless of course, the only ideas that are in the ‘mainstream’ are those that endorse the status quo on health care and our entitlement programs,” Hatch said, according to his prepared remarks.
Says the entitled little douchebag from Utah.
Also, it isn’t collapsing.
