That's easy! We all get dual citizenship with Canada.

There are no dogs allowed in Canada. Even you should know that.

How can you poll a bill that supposedly nobody's seen?

Push polling, in action.

On Dec. 19, 2009, a Saturday, then Majority Leader Harry Reid tossed the 2,100-page bill the Senate had spent that fall debating and offered a new bill drafted in an invitation-only back room. Democrats didn’t even pretend to care what was in it while passing it in the dead of night on Dec. 24, amid a snowstorm, in the first Christmas Eve vote since 1895.

On Dec. 19, 2009, a Saturday, then Majority Leader Harry Reid tossed the 2,100-page bill the Senate had spent that fall debating and offered a new bill drafted in an invitation-only back room. Democrats didn’t even pretend to care what was in it while passing it in the dead of night on Dec. 24, amid a snowstorm, in the first Christmas Eve vote since 1895.

The distortion du jour is that the GOP is operating “in secret.” This week Minority Leader Chuck Schumer accused Republicans of working “behind closed doors, writing a bill they won’t let the public read. . . . Today, no Member of Congress can read the bill because we don’t know what it is.”

Despite Mr. Schumer’s bewilderment, he still knew enough to assert that the Senate bill will “greatly hurt the American people.” Well, which is it? And if Republicans are trying to suppress a public debate about repealing and replacing Obama Care, then they haven’t prevailed, either now or across the presidential campaign. Health care has been central to U.S. political debate for nearly a decade as Democrats created a new entitlement with little public support.

you could have kept your insurance...

>>> No. There was no option to keep the insurance. But why would you post about what you have no information and can't know?? Seems like a loud mouth with brain in neutral.

you just would have to pay for it...

>>> Again no option to pay for it. The insurance was provided by a self insured employer, but they are not in the business of selling insurance. Such an option would have been counter to the intent of the legislation.

your company screwed you over and they didn't have to

>>> Golly! Very astute of you. The only reason there never did it before is, we would have sued the hell out of them. A large number of us and as a group we have plenty of power to do so.
The ObamaCare legislation stripped us of our power, precisely the intent so that we would be added to the insurance market. That sir, is Obama screwing people on a grand scale, fucking around in business not given to the Federal Government in the Constitution.

Capitalism works that way

Geez, that it a stupid comment! It is appalling that school children are taught by person this confused. Obama fucking around with the insurance industry, and the health care agreements of individuals with their employer about compensation, is the opposite of Capitalism. But I would expect a Communist to utter such nonsense.

Secrecy Surrounding Senate Health Bill Raises Alarms in Both Parties
“I’ve said from Day 1, and I’ll say it again,” said Senator Bob Corker, Republican of Tennessee. “The process is better if you do it in public, and that people get buy-in along the way and understand what’s going on. Obviously, that’s not the route that is being taken.”

I don't know who any of those people are.

And tweets scare me.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Why don't people post faxes? They're like tweets but on paper. Friendly fun paper.

Also paper is recyclable so it's good for the planet. Tweets aren't. There are probably more tweets in the atmosphere than CO2.

You heard it here first, tweets are the real cause of global warming.

The word "tweet," by itself, is frightening as fuck so I get it

I have a nice cozy safe space that I post from. My mom will gladly allow visitors

Blah blah blah blah. Tweets from him, tweets from you tweet tweet tweet.

Instead, let's think of some ideas of what should happen. The Republicans seem like they're going to make this worse. What the fuck?

Why don't we solicit ideas from people who actually know how this shit works but don't have a huge interest in making tons of money off of it?

Then have the CBO score them and go from there? Who'd have thought we could do worse? I can't believe these people are going to make it worse and lose their re-election campaigns on a massive scale. Maybe they'll get rich directly?

Yes it is. However, it's a political cartoon. And spot on.
