what you must understand is unlike the rest of the civilized world, for some reason HERE and ONLY here healthcare is a limited resource.

If healthcare were a national security issue (and it may be) how would we address it?

Seriously he is an "ableist". I'd never heard that term and it's quite alarming.

Ableism /ˈeɪblɪzəm/ (also known as ablism,[1] disablism, disability discrimination, and handicapism) is discrimination and social prejudice against people with disabilities. Ableism characterizes persons as defined by their disabilities and as inferior to the non-disabled.[2] On this basis, people are assigned or denied certain perceived abilities, skills, and/or character traits. Discrimination faced by those who have or are perceived to have a mental disorder is sometimes called mentalism rather than ableism.

and I know it isn't much...I think the rethugs have a heavier lift with DumpCare than they think. This will not sail through the Senate. If we can put the heat on the House in 2018 and prove that they are vulnerable, certain Senators could take notice and not be so quick to kill us all. It may be a pipe dream but we can't let them take our hope. If they steal that, they've won.

For the record, I'm scared too.
