(68,768 posts)his hate filled agenda? I would not be surprised if mods in the Senate 'fix' Obamacare in a bipartisan move and then we will see what McConnell does.. Schumer seems to have no objection...he has offered to work with the GOP ...just take the 'repeal' out.

(24,452 posts)Circumstances for Ryan to fulfill his Randian "Kegger Days" dream of cutting/killing Medicare/Medicaid and the social safety in general net have never been and probably never will be better anytime in the foreseeable future, hence his continued support for Donald Trump, who will gladly sign whatever the Republican Congress puts on his desk for him to sign (he is a Republican with working digits).

(1,001 posts)Ryan wants to replace the defined benefit program with a coupon that seniors would get toward buying a health insurance plan on the open market. In other words: seniors pay more and get less.

(3,077 posts)Sick and tired of their bullshit. I hate the whole "choice" and "access" nonsense. It's a whole lot of nothing. It limits choice and access because the poor can't afford wealthcare.

Either way he has made plenty of money from all the grifting he has done.
