Even though they pretend they care about all of their constituents, the vast majority of Republicans in Congress are only interested in serving the interests of the people who give massive contributions to their campaigns and help assure they get reelected. Such is the case with the American Health Care Act (AHCA)–aka Trumpcare–which drastically cuts […]
The final chapter is far from written on the issue of the American Health Care Act–aka Trumpcare–but upon initial inspection, the bill narrowly passed last week by the House of Representatives would appear to be a major step in the wrong direction when it comes to assuring that more Americans have affordable health insurance and […]
Republicans who voted in favor of Trumpcare last week are finding it increasingly difficult to defend major provisions of the bill, especially the fact that it would allow insurance companies to charge much higher premiums to those with preexisting conditions and that it would strip health insurance away from at least 24 million Americans.

Apparently members of the Trump administration are unfamiliar with the basics of logic and reason. For example: If you cut a program drastically–lets’s say by nearly a trillion dollars–it’s a pretty safe bet that fewer people will be able to benefit from that program.

One of the most controversial provisions of the Trumpcare legislation would […]
Sometimes I wonder: Do Republicans have to go out of their way to be complete jerks and jackasses or does it just comes naturally to most of them? Mo Brooks is a GOP Congressman from Alabama, and according to him, the whole debate over whether or not to keep coverage for those with pre-existing conditions […]
Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, who has made every attempt to accommodate, placate, and apologize for Donald Trump, is now finding out that the pretend president is nothing but a self-serving shark who is only to happy to stick a dagger in his back when he falls short of expectations.
