Colluding to kill people.

This is the same as the right-wingers asking how many unborn babies the leftists killed this morning, right?

At the rate they're going by Friday the U.S. Senate will be reduced to voting on a bill that proposes the laying on of hands, bleeding with leeches, trepanation, and dosing with mercury as alternatives to the ACA.

don't worry, they'll put something together for President Kakistocrat to use his Sharpie on.

Obamacare is a trigger word for the ignorant, bigoted and stupid, and a euphemism for that ugliest of words, which even referred to by it's first initial is offensive. It was a gift from marketing heaven for the most venal and amoral of the republicans, who have been doing this kind of thing for years, and driving the goiter and pitchfork crowd to the polls in frothy swarms. But a referendum on racism is not a plan. And it's a delight - one of the few these days - to see this whole pathetic farce fall so spectacularly flat on it's stupid, ugly face.

#1 No.

Asshole.

For every 880 uninsured in the U.S., statistically, one person died as the result of being uninsured, and so not able to access appropriate healthcare.

That's men, women and actual live breathing children of your fellow Americans unnecessarily dead.

The Trumpcares from which your Republican politicians are dithering over, will rip healthcare from 22 - 32 million.

You do the math.

And beyond statistics, I had a friend die in her 40s, pre ACA Obamacare, of basically a pre-existing condition.

No insurance company would cover her: if she'd gotten treatment in time she'd still be alive.

By the time she could access healthcare, it was too late.

She was a single mother who left behind a 13 year old daughter.

Under Obama care, she'd still have her mother.

I also went through a frightening period in my early '60s, where I couldn't access health insurance.

I was lucky: the one time I was ferryed to the ER by ambulance, they treated me even though I didn't have insurance.

But not all ills can or will be treated in emergency rooms.

Which is why it's a guarantee Republicans are sentencing tens if thousands of Americans to unnecessary deaths.

And that's before you factor in the tens of thousands upon tens of thousands of Americans who will be forced to drop health insurance because of unaffordable premiums.

And the God knows how many will be forced into medical bankruptcy.

And the rural hospitals that will be forced to close -- and all of the other preventable tragedies of Trumpcare.

You asshole, you.

@1 Go back to your troll hole and rot there.
@5: I definitely feel your pain. Uninsured life for me was hell pre President Obama's two legitimately elected terms. I suffered a serious head injury at work and was nearly left to die in the ER. Luckily everything got paid for through my employer and L&I, but I didn't even have a primary care doctor back then. RepubliKKKans are a disgrace to all people and living things of the United States and the rest of the world, and unfit to govern.

I can't get the chart to be fully displayed -- ??

I like how the democrats lost big in the last election and as a result, their party and base are starting to crumble; while at the same time, the republicans won big in the last election and as a result, their party and base are starting to crumble.

A pox on both their houses.
