2. To deny health care to over 24 million americans
3. Give death sentences to low income and elderly americans
4. Remove help given to middle class and the working poor so they could afford health care, if they miss a payment will be charged even more to get it reinstated.
5. Give hundreds of billions of dollars in tax cuts to families making more than $250,000/yr.
6. High deductibles and if pre-existing condition enormous premiums.
7. Deny essential health care for ER visits, hospitalizations, mental health, maternity( the area he has as high maternal death rate)
8. Deny health care for substance abuse. (His district has been in the news and books (Dreamland) written about the drug problems and the deaths)
9. Allows caps for yearly and lifetime.
10. Underwriting is back, a document for every condition or ailment you have ever had.
11. Even those lucky enough to have employer provided insurance are at risk of losing their coverage.

Big Pharm

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/health/drug-giant-aspen-plot-destroy-cancer-medicine-big-pharma-times-investigation-a7683521.html

Staff at Aspen Pharmacare reportedly plotted to destroy stocks of life-saving medicines during a price dispute with the Spanish health service in 2014.

After purchasing five different cancer drugs from British firm GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), the company tried to sell the medicines in Europe for up to 40 times their previous price, reported The Times.

People's lives do not mean anything to these companies. The only thing they care about is money. I bet if looked into others have done the same.

Golf Course war room?

The war room is at the golf course? Question Steve Bannon taken off National Security Council and Jared Kushner is being questioned for Russia ties and they are both there? The attack was almost 100,000,000 dollars and hit nothing important. Did not take out the runways or destroy aircraft. Trump called Putin before anyone else. Sounds like a staged event to make us think that trump is not in putin's back pocket. This moran needs to be impeached.

One Nation, which is controlled by allies of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, is airing the ads as the second half of a $3 million ad buy aiming to build support for the politically explosive repeal of the health law. The group has already aired television ads in nine states, and is also spending money on digital, print and direct mail.

Alt right group from Australia is paying for the ads against our health care. WTF?

Remembering

Does anyone know which Trump aid was in Russia during the election? I remember an article about it and thought how was it allowed.

Kasich wants teachers to encourage students not to get an education. Where the hell are these jobs that dont require a degree? Wendys and McDonalds. These asses send thier children to ivy league schools. I remember being told by a republican leader in Ohio that I should not have been allowed to go to college because that was for their children and I should not be allowed to take a high paying job from one of thier children.

No investigation?

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/jason-chaffetz-michael-flynn_us_58a31aa2e4b03df370da45b9?
Chaffetz and others say no investigation. That Flynn served in military and not a politician so that makes it okay. So I looked up military personnel who have worked with Russia in the past. John Walker, Naval Warrant Officer, James Hall, US Army Signal Intelligence Warrant Officer, Col. George Trofimoff, Retired Army Reserve Colonel 25 years, David Sheldon Boone ,Army, Harold Nicholson, Army, William Millay, Army, Canadian Navy Officer Sub Lt Jeffery Paul Delisle, and not least Benedict Arnold(England). Other State Dept., CIA and FBI employees. Why the difference?
