I cannot believe this is happening. I cannot believe anything that has happened and the next few months are going to be worse I do believe.
It is difficult to be old, not well and wondering if your life savings are going. And wondering what kind of country your children and grandchildren are going to have.
I can see that the next generation won’t have the same chance we had, the incredible chance to make something of oneself. They are stuck having a hard time affording houses, no vacations, living on one income for stay at home Mothers to stay with babies. And their future is grim if you ask me.
We wanted to leave them an estate to protect them and I am now wondering if after 45 years of saving if they will get a cent.
ANd they are of course the wrong race for the current AMerica. Being white is going to be harder and harder. Unless this country wakes up and realizes what we are creating.
I believe we can reap fruits from this, when people are faced with decisions if they want to abstain from having to pay there will be millions of fellow compatriots willing to offer help.
Possibly a Healthcare Underground will start up, or Healthcare Evaders as the liberals will want to paint many Americans.
He may go for that except he swears the temperature during the summer in Alaska is only 30 deg for 1 week (he’s joking)
I can tell you this, if you do want to come to Florida now is the time to do it. Marina’s are hurting for business. So many people here have lost their homes, their jobs, savings etc the toys had to go. Tons of boats on the market for little to nothing and hundreds of open slips that need filling.
A friend of ours lives on a boat all year round near Key Largo, even though he’s been at the same spot for years his slip rent was cut in half a few months ago. In order to get new business they had to lower their rates, existing renters threw fits and were given the new rate.
At least we’ll be sending Marco Rubio to the Senate and Allen West to the House come November - a good reason to give Florida another look IMO.
You’re absolutely right about that! I don’t dare post what I’ve already been told. Doctors are not going quietly into the government plan and we won’t either.
I am thinking of a bumper sticker.
Proud to be a Healthcare Evader

Funny you say that. Yesterday my son told me a tale about one of his friends who was just offered an internship at a good hospital. Needless to say- he’s studied hard and long and sacrificed much to get to this stage. He told my son he’s put off accepting the internship until this vote happens. His father owns a restaurant and if the bill passes he’s going to decline the internship and go to work with his dad.
My son tried to dissuade him- said we’ll need good docs etc. but his friend is completely disillusioned and explained some things to my son about what it will really be like if this happens.
This story will be played out in greater numbers if this bill passes- as you well know.
Morning all. Reporting for duty even though my brain is still sleeping.
I am angrier than yesterday (if that is possible) still hate them all and may have to step away more than once to preserve my sanity.
That’s so sad, but true! My husband doesn’t want any of the grands to enter medicine now or the service academies.
FOX saying again they have 216 votes.
I hate these people.
You’ve come to the right thread. We all feel precisely the same way.
I am trying to decide whether I want to watch MTP.
Oh, and good morning, dear friend!
I just heard that too and have switched to MTP.
Stand by for a lot of swearing or %$#%^&#@^&(*((^$.
Hoyer is lying right now.
Bless you- nothing is happening the way we thought it would, is it? The country is unrecognizable to those of us of a certain age.
Hoyer says they have the votes.
Boehner says they don’t have the 216 yet.
Hoyer says they will hold the vote.
There *is* a difference.
At least we are starting the day with Bill Hemmer. Already he is stressing that they are for and “leaning for.” Stresses not a done deal.
my best friend is a gynecologist, her husband is a cardiologist and their oldest daughter was just last week accepted into med school. what should be a time of celebration for them has this horrible pall cast over it because of this bill. i texted her from the Capitol lawn yesterday because my 15 yo and i were down at the rally and she thanked me for being there protesting for her and her family[she had to go up to PA for her mom’s 92d bday party this weekend] I had texts from so many friends in other states saying the same thing.
Oh, if Bill Hemmer is on I’ll watch as he’s not for Deathcare.
Question by David: Why is this so close if it’s so good? All the polls show Americans are against it?
Hoyer: Polls shows Americans like it.
David: Not so. Even our poll says Americans don;t want it.
Bless you for being there!
This is so damn sad for all the students who have studied faithfully and wanted a career in medicine for all the right reasons. It’s heartbreaking.
