This is a tweet from Senator Bob Menendez: "Hey, Republicans... don't worry, that burn is covered under the Affordable Care Act."
Brian Walsh former House/Senate/Campaign GOP communicator was quick with a follow-up tweet:
Brian Walsh @brianjameswalsh
For those tracking at home, SCOTUS this week also cleared the way for @SenatorMenendez to face his bribery & corruption charges this Fall. 2:08 PM - 24 Mar 2017
This is over Salamon Melgen Medicare Billing dispute.

Thanks, Ted. I appreciate the props. We as a people need to unite against our government and hold them to their word to us, not the people that funded their reelection. This is why I railed so hard against the SCOTUS' 'Citizens United' ruling when it was passed down. At that time, it wasn't a partisan rant on my part, because I always knew that R or D, such a ruling would take influence from guys (and gals) like you and me- and place it in the hands of those with enough money to 'buy the rules that determine the game.' Little guys like us (who bend both Rep and Dem) aren't really represented by our 'representatives,' so long as Big Money can buy those whom we've elected. I don't know what the solution to this problem is... but I do know that The Problem infects everything this nation tries to do... ...and I instinctively know that this trend won't change without a grassroots populist uprising. ________________ This won't be a Trump- or Bernie-based uprising, Ted. It will be a class-based uprising that pits ALL of America's 'underclass' against America's 'ruling class.' Hispanics Asians Blacks 'Travel Banned' Brown Folk from the Middle East (whether legal immigrants or refugees) Appalachians Rural Southern Whites White (dwindling) Middle Class Americans We need a cross-cultural, pan-ethnic social revolution in this country- and it's coming, my friend. The conservative-leaning Euro-Americans who predominate this message board are starting to get screwed in the same manner that My Folk have always been 'phallused.' It's only a matter of time until they join the ranks of those of us who have always seen how The Man operates. When that day drops- look out, America. This one is gonna really hurt- on a fundamental level. "We The People"... OMG, Ted- this one is gonna be ugly. But totally necessary, if 'Our Country' is to be truly ours. .02, Clem. The Ruling Class' game of pitting various American factions against themselves (read: "divide and conquer") has reached critical mass. Folks like You and me are starting to catch on. We're not falling for those old, tired 'company fallbacks' any more. ________________ The moment we free ourselves from the old "UM v. OSU" political model is the moment when regain Our Voice- and hold these elected officials accountable. We can do it on a local level. We can do it on a state level. We can do it on a national level. Term limits are an option, for sure... but NOTHING compares to actual grassroots activism.

Exactly my point.
We deserve better representation than EITHER SIDE is currently providing.

We don't deserve anything. Our current leadership is nothing but a reflection of the people currently.
It's why I laugh when I see people make these sort of comments. Seriously, the hell does that even mean?
I personally didn't have a problem with dem leadership. I voted for them (general election, Ohio congressman and senators) and for me they represented (in general, not perfect By any means) my beliefs and views on how to continue moving the country forward. My issue with them now is with regards to the DNC's crap during the season. Really screwed themselves. But if the GOP continues down this path, the Dems will bounce back.
So with all due respect Clem. Speak for yourself.
Conservatives voted for all of this. So to complain about the leadership that they voted for is mind boggling to say the least. The GOP has shown the last seven years that they can't get much of anything accomplished, that all they were interested in was saying No to anything Obama proposed, that their #1 agenda was to repeal and replace the ACA. They literally had no other plan.
And guess what Clem? The conservatives on this board and around the country voted for their asses anyway.
They don't deserve crap except what's currently in congress and in the oval. They put those guys there. Suck it up. This is what they voted for.

I have been busy and finally got back to the Boards.
I congratulate the Democrats on this victory of keeping ObamaCare as the Law of the Land.
I am sorry to see the Republicans fractured as a party but do understand the Conservatives not wanting to approve a new Welfare program as they see it.
I am sorry Trump was not able to negotiate the deal and wonder how much else he can get done with zero Democrats and only 2/3 of Republicans behind him.
I am THRILLED that I won't have to hear 4 years of crying over TrumpCare failing here and hurting us there. The Republicans will no longer be holding their next Convention in a school gym as some on here have suggested.
Those days are behind us now as the Democrats celebrate their victory and the American people celebrate life under ObamaCare.
Congrats to all!

I'm pretty smart.
And price caps work. But I understand why you feel the need to lash out at me. Your trash ass leaders failed once again, and you need someone to blame.
I have more experience in my 29 years than your entire life. Have a good day.

If you want to introduce price caps into the free market, you might as well just go single payer tbh.

I have more experience in my 29 years than your entire life. Have a good day. There's a big difference between "lashing out" and calling out someone's BS ... Your last sentance pretty much sums u up in a nutshell .. u have NO CLUE what my life experiences are ... I've said u were smart more than once .. hopefully .. u realize your not as smart as u think u are before its to late .. as I am a firm believer in A MIND IS A TERRIBLE THING TO WASTE ... Hopefully the weed don't rot yours out completely before you realize you don't know near as much as u think u do .. And i will have a good day .. thanks ... ROCK CHALK JAYHAWKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just because I don't know the differance between "their", "there", "they're" nor can tell the difference between "xenophobe", "narcissistic", "misogynistic" in a sentance, doesn't make me any less smarter than anyone else on here. According to my Mom it makes me smarterer. If my posts give you headakes it's because they're probably too intelligent. So let me continue on with my condensation even if my flesch–kincaid score is in the negatives.

Price caps do not go hand in hand with a Capitalist Society. "Supply and demand" rule here, not "You work for nothing so I can have stuff cheap".

Well the real problem is people think that health care is a luxury and not a necessity in today's world. As a result people think it needs more or less funding and who should pay for it. Any type of solution, where you combine the two, will end up failing in the long run. Even if most of America's healthcare problems are self induced. As in people turn into patients, because they don't take care of themselves. Then they just want to take a pill to "fix" them. Until there can be discussions on solutions, we'll have nothing.

So you agree we should receive the same healthcare that 46 receives? Why not write to him, and propose he gives all Americans the same healthcare that he receives?

1. 46 doesn't use the ACA. 2. 46 has great government provided healthcare due to benefits of the job. 3. 46 wants to give better healthcare to all Americans. 4. 46 should make a great deal for Americans to benefit from the same care.
I outlined it in four simple steps.
To take a page from your book... 1+2+3+4=10. (using my points from above) 10=healthcare for Americans.
10 is bigly. The best numbers.

Did we just get three pump chumped by the Republicans? Haven't they had close to a decade now to get a health care together and they still can't? Apparently Bannon asked a bunch of Republicans to vote for the bill and they just laughed at his face. What a failure.
