How to Repair the Health Law (Itâs Tricky but Not Impossible)

Jul 30, 2017

It doesn't appear that Trump wants to. But if he did, many of the proper steps are obvious....

Stabilizing the market, lowering drug prices and expanding access to coverage would go a long way to easing millions of Americansâ concerns.

Bob R/CA Noted: you don't want to discuss how the bill benefitted people, especially the most at-risk - you just want to argue it didn't fit a semantic definition that means nothing.

Jul 31, 2017

EasTexSteve It didn't benefit those millions who were already getting fully paid health coverage with low deductibles through their employers. It hurt them.

Democrats vote against single payer amendment

by Tim Finnegan

Jul 27, 2017

They had their chance. An amendment was put forward for Medicare for All! 43 Democrats showed their great support for single payer by voting ... Present. Again, given the chance to vote FOR single payer, the left decided not to.

Even John Conyers who is introducing a single payer bill in the house is encouraging Democrats to vote ... AGAIN...See More

Tim Finnegan I would like to see a bipartisan bill that addresses many of the issues of Obamacare. Some type of compromise where both sides give and take.

Also, if democrats, such as Bernie really want single-payer, they should vote for it when it comes up, not simply vote present.

Chalky Bernie Sanders said today he was Introducing a single payer bill. I think he just might vote for it unlike Republican Daines who attached an amendment to the ObamaCare Repeal bill and then ***didnt even vote for it ***.

The moves, which had been threatened for weeks, were the Kremlinâs first retaliatory steps against proposed new American sanctions.

EasTexSteve Gosh. And to think the Russians were stupid enough to help him get elected!

Jul 28, 2017

T.E.C. - Iowa It is not Trump that wants Americans to hate Russians and/or Putin. Trump has been interested in talking to the Russians. It is congress and the "deep state" that have cooked up the new sanctions - sanctions which never work and which, in this case, will backfire.

Sanctions did not work with Cuba, North Korea, and Iran. They will not work ...See More

Tim Finnegan Again, what is she hiding? Why did she not want investigators to have those computers? We need to get to the bottom of this.

Bob R/CA Single payer is coming, it's a little surprising that people who it would benefit most seem resistant to it. It looks pretty solid that they will at lower Medicare eligibility to 50, so at least many of the most vulnerable will get to enjoy that improvement.

Is there a better method to health care and insurance? Atlas Care sounds like an interesting system to get better health care?

Bob R/CA I have a specialist who recently switched to concierge care. It's an interesting approach, but I didn't pay too much attention to the details at the time. Are you on this type of care? To really reduce the costs of care in the US we'll have to make a host of more radical changes - one of the most obvious would be to move to an outcome based system ...See More

I guess Trump had no choice. When your communications director says the chief of staff has to go, he has to go.
