Literally laughing my ass off. This clown shouldn't even be permitted to use those words.

Obamacare did things that sound 'nice' like offering health coverage to lots of people?

Yes, he did, it's a little limp, but it's there ... so he's facing reality on some level, just a little
weak

The Republicans know it's a loser, and look to me like they are trying to push it, except that that they aren't. They could have just enough of their own vote no, act "so disappointed," and then breathe a sigh of relief that they haven't blown up their chances to retain their Senate majority next year. The last thing they need is a Democratic 50 state strategy of non-stop, non-repeating ads with 100,000 different Americans all explaining why their lives have turned to shit due to the Republican repeal-and-fuck-over bill, 90% of which would be former Republicans saying "I've never voted for a Democrat in my life, but I am urging all of my fellow Republicans to do it now, because this time, it IS a matter of life and death-OURS!"

He is a very immoral man.

health insurance to auto insurance -- you have an accident and your rates go up. You get sick (or have a pre-existing condition) so your rates go up (way up). Seems to me he's just making these statements so that his numbskull constituents won't think he's just a bad guy after all.....

When I wrote him, I talked about costs that will rise and impact him and his friends. I don't expect him to vote no, but I still thought I would write.

Some people can be swayed by appeals to enlightened self-interest (i.e. Your tax base will improve in the future if you see that all kids get a good public education now). I keep hoping someone can get thru to John McCain by appealing to his love of country.

Some people are basically hopeless until whatever-it-is happens to them personally, like a homophobe having a favorite nephew or their own child come out as gay -- or develop an excruciating, life-threatening, and devastatingly expensive illness when said politician has always voted for letting bake sales pay for it.

But for some of them, I've finally come to the point where I now hope that politicians who only learn by personal experience -- have those experiences. Meanwhile, though, we'll keep using our words.

this bill is too generous and those little things (like coverage and pre existing conditions?) will raise costs. "Consequences".

They have no shame.

that is pulled from our healthcare system every year.

That's ONE way to cut costs, Johnson!

was just "reelected" so he does not have to worry about losing his seat any time soon. Look at his record. He is conservative on everything else, so why is he doing this?
