Got thru to pat toomeys office on the new no health care bill

The individual I talked with I swear was reading from a script. As I would counter the fiction with facts , they would become more flustered. I could tell they wanted to end call , I was civil but it is clearly an evil bill to kill 22 million people.

The staffer said he hasn't made his mind up yet. I told her that all my Repub co-workers, family and friends will never vote Repub again since I will die without the ACA (this part IS true). I don't have many Repub friends by choice and my family is Dem...it's in our DNA.

Making the Medicaid cuts worse than the House bill. Does anyone seriously think he's not going to vote for his own handiwork? He's the biggest piece of slime on the planet and will do whatever his handlers tell him; after all he's not up for re-election til 2022.

Bullshit he was paid over $400000 for this death plan. You know he's voting for it. He's also supposedly so concerned about the opioid crisis but willing to take money away from it.He doesn't care because he just got reelected last year.
