Most members of congress are millionaires. They’re not using Obamacare plans. They’re buying themselves a really nice plan for emergencies and seeing doctors who don’t accept insurance and charge patients a monthly fee just to enter the waiting room.

If human history is any indicator, they'll be in power as long as they want.

I still can't believe that they're still trying to get a new healthcare bill passed that makes not attempts to improve anything for the people that it's intended to cover.

ACA is far from perfect, but replacing it with something equal or less than is outright failure and waste of congressional time (and therefore our tax dollars).

My father suggested (and I'm sure it wasn't his idea) that whatever they propose, should it become law, be the new healthcare for the members of congress and their staffs (or to whoever else their current plan is extended). I know this is not dissimilar to the current provisions in ACA that require congressdouches to acquire their healthcare through ACA (if they want a gov't sponsored plan, as JP points out they can go private without issue...and they generally do), but I know that the GOP douchenators and douchesentatives hate that and want out. Remember Boner making it a big deal that he was going to get his healthcare via ACA?

But not unlike Hillary pointing out that we have a huge group of men making decisions on women's healthcare in DC, we have a unanimously complete group of people that are all making $175,000 a year AND are given access to comprehensive healthcare plans/packages as a result of being in office (covered at about 75%). So, this group of people have virtually no concerns about healthcare and likely few personal financial concerns are making decisions about healthcare for those that have many of these concerns. Currently that's about 24 million people that should either of the proposed options been passed would clearly lessen their coverage and options while increase their out of pocket costs by rather huge amounts.

Fuck these people. Fuck Trump. And fuck you if you voted for him.

'xackly, yo
 
I rarely write my US House Representative, Rep. Brian Babin, but I did yesterday. It was a simple plea for him to vote against the revised healthcare bill, requesting him to represent the common good of his constituents. I closed by "gently" reminding him of the 2018 election. :wink:

I know it won't change his vote. He has been lock step with the Comrade Trumpski bowel movement the last 3 months.
