I'm sure Cathy McMorris-Rodgers will gladly give up her "government run" health care. Well? And how about we exempt her constituents from any part. Let them die slow miserable deaths for profits sake. Ignorant yokels.

Another play on words for the ignorant public. Fortunately the ignorant are dwindling in numbers (on this topic)...it's not that the public doesn't know what our "health needs" are, but that THEY'RE NOT BEING MET adequately [in most cases].

-Duhhhh

Really? Does Cathy McMorris-Rodgers oppose legislators making your health decisions instead of you, doctors & nurses? Then surely she's pro-choice, right?

lies, lies, lies. they don't even bother reading the legislation or studying the implementation of public health outside of the US' shit system but repeat the same lobbyist talking points. the thought of serving the public strikes fear into their hearts

Health insurance companies. She forgot the health insurance companies. And they're the ones we have to keep happy and profitable!

So, if the entire point of being bi-partisan was to get GOP votes, why did we bother?

SINGLE PAYER NATIONAL HEALTH CARE!

Do it!

@1: Listen, fucktard, I live in her district and could really use some stinkin' health insurance. Furthermore, I'll have you know that she is the only Republican representing our district anymore. Our two state reps and state senator are dems, and in the last election Spokane County (and Whitman County to the south) were solidly blue.

McMorris-Rodgers was identified by the national GOP last year as being in danger, so they pumped a shitload of money into her campaign. The dems didn't field a very strong opposition candidate, had maybe 1/10th the funds, and still gave her a run for her money.

You know who's a yokel? Dumbasses who just assume that anything east of the Cascades is a scene out of "Deliverance."
