This quote about Trumpcare makes me want to bash my head against a brick wall.

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/bill-cassidy-senate-repeal-bill-versus-obamacare

The article is about Senator Bill Cassidy's double-speak, but the following quote from Steve Doocy of Fox News hit me hard:

"It eliminates the individual and employee mandate, people love that,” co-host Steve Doocy told Cassidy. “It gets rid of a lot of taxes. Ultimately it’s got to be cheaper and it’s got to be better. Is it?”


THE WHOLE F$&@ING POINT OF THE MANDATE IS TO MAKE THE PLANS CHEAPER BY GETTING HEALTHY PEOPLE INTO THE RISK POOLS!!

Sorry, rant over.
