The whole thread. The photos. If you can read this and support TrumpCare, your heart is in worse shape than little Ethan's.

(35,654 posts)It's all about tax cuts. They call this a health care bill. It's a tax bill, and the people behind the scenes who are responsible are the Koch bro's, who want it to be even more Draconian than it presently is.
Please note: Pence recently made a call to his lords and masters, the infamous Koch brothers, who are, I believe the 2nd largest privately owned company in the U.S.
The Koch brothers' political arm has even more employees than the republican party.
Do not buy products made by the Koch brothers. Here are some products they make that a consumer might easily be exposed to. Don't buy them!

p.s. on edit: snip Pence and Koch and their top aides spoke for nearly an hour late Friday, according to a Koch spokesman. They discussed tax reform, the GOPs healthcare overhaul and other heavy legislative lifts that have run into resistance in the Republican-controlled Congress. The aide described the talks as casual.snip

(1,816 posts)This needs to be repeated and used.
They have no moral right to call themselves the pro life party.
We need to take over the narative.
They will kill people.
Children, babies, adults and seniors.
They own the name now.
And they are doing it for money. Never forget that.

He's a beautiful child that deserves all the care modern medicine can provide. He deserves to live a long, healthy, and happy life.
WithOUT bankrupting his family.

Trump care moves America further away from the path of civilization. It is a wealth care bill not a health care bill.

(2,410 posts)But greedy conservatives seem to forget that--or the fact that they too will all age and will someday need care--when they're pissing on us and saying it's just raining.
