So are there truly only 5 Senators with a brain?

On any contentious issue, whichever party, the caucus should be sequestered like a jury until they come up with a definite YES or NO.

Individual posturing and egomaniac blathering should be kept behind closed doors for the sake of the party and for the sake of the country.

In the age of instant internet access and the desire to "stand out" that will never happen again. Right now two or three of those 5 are fermenting presidential aspirations so they see the limelight and like a moth to a flame....

Those who did not make it to the final four in the primaries, last time around, or ever, should have decency and modesty not to try again.

They can all fuck off imo. Especially if they made it to the final 4. Why do we have to settle for yesterday's leftovers?

Walker & Webb are the only two I would like to see return.

Where is the VA part in the COTUS?

It's a benefit to the US Military members: though it should be limited to services for injuries sustained while in active duty. The COTUS , allows for an army, and by extension paymebt/benefits to those who volunteer for the military.

Obamacare is collapsing before our very eyes and the vast majority of the right can't seem to wait to change it just enough to hang it around their own necks.
These dumbfucks begged us to put them in control so they could fix the mess Obama created and all they seem to want to do is extend the disaster by another decade with tiny adjustments around the edge.

Create a temporary safety net for the poorest among us & those already undergoing bankrupting medical care and REPEAL THE GOD DAMN THING. Then put your heads together and prove we weren't fools for giving you the chance to do what you claimed you could do.

Well look at it this way, when the ACA passed the first time there were no democrat Senators with a brain.

I agree 100% but HOW DOES THAT HELP US TODAY?

It doesn't, but there is so little we can do. I don't want to just have Obamacare lite. I think we as a nation can provide affordable healthcare to everyone.

But we can't do it with the healthcare industry continuing to gouge out our eyes. Before Obamacare premiums were high for sure, but cost was going up and up and up.

How do we control the out of control medical industry? We can have the best plan ever but it won't do us much good if it bankrupts us.

My CPAP story is a good example and I will repeat it here.

I needed a new CPAP, I thought. I contacted my advantage plan and they told me that basically there was one place I could get one and that was 33 miles away. I mentioned that I got the CPAP I have at a store no more then 10 miles away and it was way less then the company my advantage plan wanted me to go to.

So I file an appeal telling them that if we were just allowed to buy durable goods on the internet or anywhere the savings for both them and me would be quite a bit. They didn't care. I pointed out on paper how they would save money, they didn't care. I start wondering why? They were going to pay 80 percent that medicare was paying and I was to pay 20 percent. So why didn't they care I could save them money and why did I have to go to this one supplier?

What I have figured out is I will bet my advantage plan doesn't pay a dime. The company takes my 20 percent and the 80 percent that medicare pays and probably gives the advantage plan a kick back. So either it doesn't cost the advantage plan anything or they make money doing what they are doing, in effect ripping off medicare, and me.

So the day they were to bring the high price machine I called them and said never mind I don't want it I think you are ripping people off. I went on line and figured out what was wrong with mine and now it works just fine, although it is wearing out.

What I will end up doing is buying a new one on the Internet for less then the 20 percent cost that the advantage plan was going to charge me.

I wish I knew who to bitch to about this. I have complained to SS medicare but guess what, they don't care either.

That is just ONE thing wrong with the system and that is ONE thing that could be very easily and should be fixed.

advantage plan is MEDICARE right? NOT O-care???

It is private insurance that takes the place of Medicare.
