Sanders, Schumer call for nationwide pro-ObamaCare rallies
2017-02-12
[The Hill] Sens. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on Saturday called for nationwide rallies in support of ObamaCare, calling GOP efforts to repeal and replace the healthcare legislation "chaos."

"We are encouraging Democratic senators to lead rallies in their states. This is not a Democratic issue, a Republican issue or an Independent issue," the senators said in a letter.

"The overwhelming majority of Americans, regardless of political persuasion, understand that we have to go forward on health care, not backwards."

The letter calls for the rallies to take place on Saturday, Feb. 25. Democrats held rallies across the country last month in support of ObamaCare.

#5  Let's get the protesters to register for the bus ride and free lunch, then audit them.

These are mostly bums who don't work and live in their parents' basement -there's nothing to audit.

If the Democrats weren't so fucking shameless, they should forever shut the fuck up and be embarrassed by passing the worst federal legislation of my lifetime. Keep them far and away from any of their 'solutions' to 'fix' this piece of shit law.

#3  Once and for all, we have the best healthcare in the world. What we have is a distorted payment system that needs rationalizing.

Forcing people to give up the level of insurance that they feel is appropriate to their needs and forcing them to pay hugely inflated amounts for what they don't want is hardly progress.

#2  "The overwhelming majority of Americans, regardless of political persuasion, understand that we have to go forward on health care, not backwards."

So, going backward would be losing your doctor, seeing exponential rise in premiums, and high deductibles that inhibit actually using the 'plan'?
