Are they that fucking dumb? Pre-existing Conditions

sure do appear in the new bill.. But the fact is that the RepublicanBill states that although Insurance Companies will have to admit people with Pre-existing Conditions...They can charge what they deem necessary to patients with pre-existing conditions.... Could you imagine someone who is fighting cancer applying under the new healthcare law for coverage.

Yes Mam we will certainly insure your child... The rate will be $15,000 a month..

If this thing passes...My God...They’ll be wishing that Obama was still President..This is only one example of how messed up
Trump’s Bill is..

R They That Fucking Stupid

Chris Hayes has Steve Rattner former U.S. Treasurer on tonight and lays it on the line...

Of course, the under-informed won't notice that those subsidies are paid by -- hello? -- taxpayers, and go to reimburse insurance companies, who make out like bandits.

they are. I think 'they' would cut off their thumbs (not understanding how important thumbs are) in order to cut off the hand of a black/muslim/lgbt person!

Might add woman to that list, if they are pro choice...though the pro life women can't eek out child support from those pro life losers!

callous. I have never understood why the Dems have never played that up? That the GOP honestly doen't give a flying fuck if someone other than their friends can see a doctor. It is absolutely abhorrent and if there is a god - can not believe they would be saying "bless them for their total lack of caring and empathy."
