Once upon a time, we were told national health insurance would never happen. Then we got the ACA. SusanaMontana41 Sep 2017 #41
the tax increase pricetag will be the tricky part. SleeplessinSoCal Sep 2017 #58
It will be voted down anyway. Still In Wisconsin Sep 2017 #63

Nope, the opposite. They are only worth something to someone who doesnt give a shit stevenleser Sep 2017 #87
You can keep trying, but your opinion is in opposition to 1/3rd of the Senate berni_mccoy Sep 2017 #92

Exactly. nt stevenleser Sep 2017 #84
