oh please, we are not talking about kicking grandma to the curb? Or are they? I mean it could be on page 1340 now that we can read the thing. I wonder how many lawyers are getting paid to read all 27000 pages? and this is to bring down prices how?

House Republicans have tried to pull the plug 31 times so far. No scraps of information yet about replacement plans.

Imagine if they didn’t have such a laser-like focus on creating jobs.

For once, I agree with you – not even a byte of data on replacement plans. I wonder who’s in the Electoral Collegiate this time around? That’s who needs to be protected the most…..

Someone that old (in the above strip) would be on medicare. They would BE insured. And I see that Obama is holding the power cord for the death panel. Guess what they are going to tell him to do ?

Um, Harley, this is not about kicking grandma to the curb. That’s the GOP plan to eliminate Medicare for grandma and replace it with private insurance, which of course won’t cover the elderly. THIS is about kicking younger people to the curb, by taking away their private health insurance. I realize it’s tough to keep track of the wide variety of GOP attacks on America, but if you paid attention to the news, you could do it.

The elephant will steal the bed, the equipment, the building and throw the old woman into a dumpster. On 2nd thought, the elephant will steal the dumpster too and throw the contents into the street.

Over 80% of doctors are thinking of quitting because of Obamacare! Now those are the jobs the 30 times are trying to save or create.

You forgot to mention that then he will sell the building and the equipment to be sure he is richer then ANYONE ELSE, since that is ALL that matters to the Republicans anymore!

How wrong you are on your conclusions. Your own link contradicts your comments.

@Harleyquinn
“90% say the medical system is on the WRONG TRACK”
Because of lack of preventative medicine and pharmaceutical activities in care.
“61% say the system challenges their ETHICS”
Because they are not treating the patient, they are treating the disease and then the treatments side effects.
“85% say the patient-physician relationship is in a TAILSPIN”
Because the Doctors will not listen to the patients input when it goes against the Doctors (or pharmaceuticals) learning/(teaching). Or when they have to work against the Pharmaceutical companies televised drug commercials.
“65% say GOVERNMENT INVOLVEMENT is most to blame for current problems”
I will agree with this because government agencies listen to too many of the pharmaceuticals companies lobbyists.
