What should be done with politicians who deny affordable health care for all?
These are the same baronial assholes who won't raise the minumum wage, they live like kings and queens, and their families get the best of everything, while they deny it to those who need it the most.

What makes fuckers like this tick, and what should WE THE PEOPLE do about them?

2. cut their health care off
most are old white men any way with "pre-existing conditions" - force them to go to market and: i) find someone that will insure their sorry-asses; and ii) require them to pay for it out-of-pocket.

19. hell, let them work for piecemeal
paid per project that really helps their entire community, not just their corporate benefactors. Any company based in their districts that outsources jobs would cost THEM.

23. 100% agree
If the Pres had the inclination & the guts, he could threaten to have it taken away (through memo/executive order) from them if they don't vote for AT LEAST the public option.

(Well, I can still dream, can't I?)

With those benefits FOR LIFE they exist in a bubble and have NO CLUE about middle- and lower-income citizens of this country.

18. Our politicians are bought and paid for...
by big corporations.

If we want true heath care reform we need to start demonstrations in the streets. Otherwise we are going to have to buy a lot of Preparation H to help after the big corporations screw us once again.

20. Take away THEIR government funded health care
Considering you have to be a fucking millionaire to run for office anymore, it's not as though they actually need it.

24. Require all federal government employees to only have the coverage afforded to all Americans.
Including the President. As long as the government can separate their coverage from the peoples. They will have the all the best health care and the people will never have decent health care. If we allow separate systems. They will negotiate away our coverage while increasing their own. Just look at minimum wage. Congress raised their own salaries seven times before raising minimum wage once.

28. Take away all their money and possessions. Then give them $100 bucks
and a cardboard box, and tell them 'good luck'.
