American Health Care Act

"Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Garrison (Represents Northern Kentucky.)
Voted no: "As recently as a year ago, Republicans argued that mandates were unconstitutional, bailouts were immoral, and subsidies would bankrupt our country. Today, however, the House voted for a healthcare bill that makes these objectionable measures permanent. The former Democrat Speaker of the House was rightfully derided for imploring Members to vote for a healthcare bill to “find out what was in it.” Yet today, we voted on a healthcare bill for which the text was available only a few hours before the vote. In fact, the Congressional Budget Office had no time to even provide Congress with a preliminary estimate of the full cost of this bill."

I won’t mince words. The health-care bill that the House of Representatives passed this afternoon, in an incredibly narrow 217-to-213 vote, is not just wrong, or misguided, or problematic or foolish. It is an abomination. If there has been a piece of legislation in our lifetimes that boiled over with as much malice and indifference to human suffering, I can’t recall what it might have been. And every member of the House who voted for it must be held accountable.

We might focus on the fact that Republicans are rushing to pass it without having held a single hearing on it, without a score from the Congressional Budget Office that would tell us exactly what the effects would be, and before nearly anyone has had a chance to even look at the bill’s actual text — all this despite the fact that they are remaking one-sixth of the American economy and affecting all of our lives (and despite their long and ridiculous claims that the Affordable Care Act was “rammed through” Congress, when in fact it was debated for an entire year and was the subject of dozens of hearings and endless public discussion). We might talk about how every major stakeholder group — the American Medical Association, the American Hospital Association, the AARP, the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network, the American Heart Association, and on and on — all oppose the bill.

Health Insurance for people with preexisting conditions is a "luxury" according to Donald Trump's favorite show, Fox and Friends.

Healthcare for people with preexisting conditions is a luxury.

Now you think about that.

You follow that though to the end and what you get is: People who are less than physically or mentally perfect are a luxury.

And in the context of the healthcare debate, we cannot afford luxuries.

That is some Nazi shit, right there.

That is the same rhetoric and the same thinking used by those who believed in the idea of a Master Race, who believed in EUGENICS.

And don't you dare think for one goddamned minute that's NOT what these people are saying, because it IS.
