It’s kind of a win for the Democrats. They’ve been hollering about the “Gunshow loop hole” for years. This will do nothing, which will be an excuse for the next “assault weapon ban” push.
Something that would have a real effect would be fixing the national background check system. But that’s something the NRA has been advocating for years, and they can’t give the NRA a win.
There are no adequate superlatives in the English language to describe the loathsomeness of a person who would willingly put the treatment of their illness into the hands of a bureaucracy as inept as our federal government.
Yet, that is exactly what you want when it comes to abortion. It can’t be a decision made by the woman and her doctor but Mitch and co have to be involved.
“Help outside the system.” Let’s say I want my hypothetical knee surgery (ACL tear) in less than the 8-15 weeks it takes the NHS for “elective” surgeries. Even I wouldn’t be able to afford to pay for that a la cart without debt. And I make a good bit more than the average household income.
(2)Via NBC News, “The legislation’s most contentious provision would end private health insurance and replace it with a government system.”
Damn right wingers over at NBC.
The cow comments are right in the language of the GND. Again, reading people’s bills is not a hit piece.
Though I’m agreeing with your take AOC is gonna get meemed into the white house.
Lol welcome to healthcare? Sounds like you need to work harder. Viva la capitalism.
Was obviously referring to the article itself. Not the article the article was quoting.
I didn’t say it’s a hit piece. I just said the talking heads of the right don’t actually determine what Dems are really trying to do. They associate Bernie’s plan with all Dems. Shocker.
I dont even get why. The GND isn’t even hers. She’s just a bandwagon. Fuckin GOP can’t even figure out who to target.
Do you happen to know the name of the bill? I can’t find anything beyond articles talking about the bill that all seem to reference statements and tweets
Yeah because free association and markets gave us the healthcare system we have now. And placing even more laws and government between us and doctors and forbidding private insurance is capitalism. Cool story.
I think that where we are headed is what we are already seeing in select areas of the Country (especially in the Big Cities):
We will have a “Two Tied” (or more) Health Care System where those who can pay for private, higher-end care will have it provided…and everyone else will be under some form of Government Health Care.
And as we are already seeing; the differences will be stark.
