Feel Like Crap Right Now. Knew It Would Pass. McCain Coming Back Made That Clear.

He would not have come back to vote no. Trouble is the bill will collapse the system. The GOP wants to collapse it so they can install "market system" with coupons for everyone. Seniors, veterans, sick, healthy, et al. I predict 100 million without decent insurance by the time they are done. In fact very few American will have adequate coverage.

Health care will be only for well to do. Everyone else will be rationed by ability to pay. There is more to this agenda than the GOP reveals. They want to collapse the health care system! Wake up.

A tiny handful of obscenely wealthy presiding over a mass of desperately poor. You can't revolt, or move away, or get an education, or engage in politics when you're doing all you can to just make it though one more day.

I thought it would pass the senate too. This is only the motion to debate so let's see what happens. I'm still holding out some hope but not much now. Maybe there are some actual human beings who will stop this mass murder.

We have nothing. Yep. I'm still hoping for something to stop this. My governor said he is putting things in place to block anything they do and I know other states will do that too. I hope it works.

I may be crazy but I'm not giving up yet. It's hard to describe how scared and shocked I am that this is all happening 😔

I'll make this easy, name one...just one Republican Senator who voted in favor of this motion to debate, that you truly believe has enough humanity to stop the mass murder of 10's of millions of the elderly, the disabled, and the poor?

Just one?

name them all - Lol- I'm just hoping more will vote no for whatever reason to somehow stop it. Or maybe some will vote no when it comes to the actual vote depending on amendments and protests by their constituents. It failed the procedural vote tonight. I don't know if that's a good sign or not. Please add the chronically ill, the sick at all and anyone who is not a millionaire to your list.
