    Wade? Why, she's jumping in with both feet!

    This will be her political vehicle to keep her active, ahead of her 2020 run for president!

    Do you ever ... and I mean EVER ... read anything that hasn't already been run through the progressive wringer?

    Who's hateful, bitter, selfish or prickish?

    My wife and I talk every day about how lucky we are. I don't know that we'd have the strength that some of these other families have.

    Our daughter is thriving. She makes progress every day, and her long term prognosis remains good.

    And we certainly aren't wishing illness on anyone, like you did.

    And, btw, I also haven't offered one bit of praise for the AHCA. I have no idea if it will be an improvement -- and despite all the scare tactics, neither does anyone else.

    And, of course it's an embarrassment the way they went about passing it, with no debate, and no time to read the bill.

    But let's also stop pretending like Obamacare was the greatest thing ever. Like it wasn't sold through lies, and passed in a way that was shameful.

    Let's remember that it didn't lower premiums, and that plenty of folks lost their doctor and their plan.

    Fair enough, maybe.

    Now answer your PM, dummy.

    Obamacare insures that my wife can get insurance without being gouged. That my daughters won't be denied insurance if the insurance companies decide that since their mother had breast cancer they would be risks. Obamacare means no cap on lifetime benefits. So my wife's next cancer octane woukd be covered. All trumpcare does is let insurance companies make more money and business owners fuck their employees

    And, to the poster who PM'd me to tell me to, "get off the cross," if you'd like to share your experience with the group, go right ahead.

    I've never claimed to be anything other than extremely lucky.

    Somehow, to some, that's also supposed to mean I must sing the praises of Obamacare. And, I must be thankful to our former Dear Leader for proving for us.

    And, that I have no idea what poor families, facing similar, or worse, circumstances are going through.

    Well, I didn't realize that while I wrote my last reply that you would out yourself as the author of the PM.

    @Riptide is the exemplar of the kinder, gentler America we'd have if only those nasty conservatives would die in a fire.

    You are right. I'm not. Trumpcare will increase premiums deductibles and copays for equivalent Obamacare coverage. What trumpcare will do is allow insurance companies to sell barebones policies cheaper, but equivalent policies will be more expensive. Instead of broader pools to balance the risks it will be narrow and screw middle America
