35 lawmakers unveil bipartisan health care proposal, beg leadership to adopt it. This story was kind of buried.

Begging! begging! Now our team is begging. 15-repuge and 20-dems. These proposals should be posted online for public viewing and a comment period. IMO. These politicians have zero clue to what the little people go through. All they want to do is to pass something, anything. The millionaires just like the orange convict #PO 113589 telling us we have to get by with less because of their selfishness.

Nonstarter cooked up by tools of the insurance industry. Flooding the zone with Bs.

Nothing else will do anything in the long run. We need to cut the blood sucking insurance companies and pharmaceutical industry out of pricing. And we need to limit cost increases of hospitals! Other countries can provide health care for all their citizens so why can’t we?

That is how most all other countries pay for it.
