They ARE trying to fuck with us. My African American sisters and brothers ARE getting fucked with. The GOP is trying like hell to take your rights away. And my being Anglo does NOT make me immune. I'm a woman, so I strongly suspect sooner or later they're gonna come after ME, too. Heck, they already are. I'm pro-choice. So they're not gonna want to see me continuing to be able to vote, either.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if they threaten, or even implement, another shutdown -- passing a budget bill that includes some anti-Obamacare provision, and after the veto refusing to pass another.

The real problem the Republicans would face, with Senate control, is that merely passing a repeal bill wouldn't be enough. A bare repeal bill is the House Republicans' little fraternity prank. If they have both chambers, though, they'd have to explain exactly what would happen (the "replace" part of their "repeal and replace" mantra). Would all those twenty-somethings be thrown off their parents' policies? Would the people who benefited from Medicaid expansion (mostly in blue states) lose their coverage? Would insurance companies be entitled to cancel the policies, or refuse to renew the policies, of people they never would have insured in the first place (those with pre-existing conditions)?

The most unpopular part of Obamacare is the individual mandate. By contrast, guaranteed issue (carriers must insure regardless of pre-existing conditions) is popular. If they repeal the former but not the latter, healthy people can game the system by going without insurance until they get the cancer diagnosis, and signing up only then. The result is that the private for-profit health insurance companies all go broke or stop offering health insurance, and we have no alternative but single payer. Therefore, the Republicans couldn't go that route without enraging their corporate paymasters. Anything else they do or even try to do (before the veto) will enrage millions of voters.


Go ahead, Mitch and John, repeal that while leaving the rest in place. That means lots of healthy people

Love this man for all he has done and continues to do.

I still think we'll win the Senate. The women I know are very energized for this mid-term and will be voting BLUE, BLUE, BLUE!

We can do this!

Get in touch with all of your friends and GOTV!!!!!

Remind them that lives depend on it. Think of the women you love.

When they created the war on women and now try to deny their success and say there has never been a war on women, huh? I am sure one of their first deeds will to to overturn ACA, fifty times isn't enough. They will have to fight thru a veto override. They are pitiful.
