And make no mistake about it , I also hold my useless absent typical politician Republican senator Pat Toomey equally responsible for the disarray in my state of Pennsylvania .I'm glad he is leaving at the end of his term . He's a typical useless politician who let his state run in complete disarray with this election and did nothing and said nothing !!!! Trump loses over 700,000 votes in less than 3 days , obviously Toomey is part of the swamp !!!

From speaking to the ones in my family, it’s anger or good intentions. Either mad they didn’t achieve it or worried about others that didn’t achieve it. Both had little understanding of america’s founding, the constitution, federalism. Basically anything that has to do with government. They just see the guy on tv screaming healthcare for all and agree.
My Father-in-Law: angry. GD Republicans. GD Trump. Hitler. Nazis. Wow. Stems from something about a steel mill 50 years ago....
88 years old. Christian. Army Vet. High school education.

My Daughter: angry. Far left Bernie supporter. Master degreed public school teacher....inner city. Devastated when removed from our insurance at 26. Therefore we need free healthcare....28 years old. Her and her husband: breathtakingly liberal. She couldn't be more different than us(wife/me). Scary. "Socialism! What's wrong with that Dad?"

She is sure to make a call if she sees a kid with a toy gun.
It's interesting to watch how they look the other way when the weed wafts out of the car at dismissal in the afternoon and morning drop off too! They'll say " it's their culture...."while a different person picks up the kid everyday.....not a father in sight.

what’s there to fix about your healthcare? You got great insurance and access to the most innovative treatments from the greatest healthcare system mankind has ever had.

I still care about the people who don’t have my healthcare. Friends, family and people I will never know.

Health care is easily accessible to anybody who wants it . Call up your local insurance company and tell them you want a health care policy they will provide

one for anybody who wants one and you will pay a monthly or quarterly fee for the policy just like everybody else !!!

At the risk of being highly controversial it is important to remember that this country, the USA, was founded in 1776. By gathering 13 separate colonies with perhaps many different ideals but most importantly some very key principles. Since this early formation the union has expanded albeit with some tremendous challenge over the past 244 years into a 50 state nation that while continuing to maintain it's ideals must hold onto the key principles that have bound us.

Those principles are still within us all. And the leadership that we choose will hopefully guide us to take a little more time to consider our behaviors and priorities as more than just a reaction to something that's posted on social media. Posts on whichever platform that you find them are the opinion of only that poster, and that's fine. No one should continuously look for ways to delegitimize the thoughts of others. Have yourself an original idea. Support the idea of others. Or disagree, it's ok. We just need to stop trying to cut the guts out of those we disagree with in order to prove our own point.

And btw the health insurance here for myself has survived and actually improved over 3 decades. Probably one of the reasons that I endure this journey. Maybe not so if you're in management but that is not the fault of government.

Simplistic platitudes. BTW 1776? Sure about that? Cut the guts out? My liberal friend.....naive doesn't begin...

See, you are dealing with liberals. Their compromise is at the point of a firing squad. As long as you agree with em, it's all good.

"We"(as a Nation) have fought against totalitarian takeover for at least 80 years. But now, it's finally made it to our shores and installed at

the highest level(yes, communism). No. It isn't "ok".

Yes. It was better when I was part time. No copays, low deductible. Went full time, started with copays, deductibles went up, prescriptions went from the local store to mail order to higher percentage from me. Now aside from the copays I would say that it's probably the best I've seen. Choose my own doctor, medicine is either $5 or free, better vision, no more limit on dental, kids have insurance till age 26, and still free to me. Yes, better.

Been arguing Obamacare for a decade now. And I do believe that people have called that commie stuff.

So since it's on our shores now is it time to go into the cabinet and pick out my weapon of choice. Which way am I going to point it? Careul. In too many ways we have become our own worst enemies

Shoot your shotgun into the air. Like Biden told you to do.
