GOP Rep. Blackburn announces Senate run, says failure to repeal ObamaCare a 'disgrace'
Fox News ^ | 10-5-17 | Smith

Posted on 10/05/2017 1:49:49 PM PDT by wardaddy

Blackburn unveiled her plans in an online video.

She called herself “a hardcore card-carrying Tennessee conservative” and cited the “totally dysfunctional” nature of the Senate as her reason for running. She leveled unsparing criticism at her would-be Senate colleagues for their inability to repeal ObamaCare.

It’s way overdue.

Please look into one of the religious alternatives to 0care.

They work for friends of mine.

That would be difficult, if not impossible. When was the last committee membership rescinded during a Session. Senate rules and procedures are arcane in the extreme.

However, lets pretend that he did that. How fast do you think these weasels would take before changing parties and getting the same committee assignments?

I’m 60 with a congenital bad heart and two open hearts and a pacemaker

I get it

I have five kids

Self employed small company

Now I have me wife and three youngest on a 500 each medical deductible and 1000 pharmacy deductible and 15 copay etc

Used to be 288/month now it’s over 800

It’s 15% of my nut

My brother is single and smokes...age 48

Used to be 130/month and now it’s 450

Don’t they have a program where you live

Here it’s Tenn Care

Or in emergency go to a religious or state hospital like when I was a kid

I’m paying $1500/month with a $6k deductible. And the Democrat Thug Party took away our doctors, pediatricians, nearby labs, nearby clinics, and preferred hospital.

What cost me $12k/year pre-ACA would now cost me $22k/year. But I can’t afford what I once had. So I’m now paying $18k/year for crappy Obamacare.

Stay healthy, FRiend.

It being TN, it’s a wonder if they don’t demand that Lamar! become two senators with two votes, and they can dispense of some office space.

She’s a good solid conservative which is why I support her. I wish she didn’t have the reputation in DC as being a prima donna. I know two people who have worked for her and she expects to be treated like a queen. In fact, one of these aids said she’s considered the third worst person to work for in Congress...only behind Maxine Waters and Sheila Jackson Lee. Ugh. But...she votes right on most issues so I hope she wins.

She was looked at as a Trump VP. Would have rather had her than Pence, whose to buddy-buddy with Ryan.

Nope, it’s gender assumption, way worse. I’ve reported your hate crime to the SPLC.
