“almost certain to cause a bloodbath in 2018”
The dirty little secret around here is that 9 out of 10 of the Freedom Caucus supporters are all set..they have their finances in good shape..they don’t have to worry about where their retirement money is coming from and I’ll bet they are sitting on Medicare(you know..that Government run health plan) and they probably have a supplement for a whopping $75 a month.
They demand that the Federal Government get out of health care right up until you ask them what kind of insurance they have....
then the narrative changes....”cough, cough...”well..but..we’re’ not talking about Medicare in this conversation”
Truth is they want government out of everybody else’s health plan but theirs!! And everybody else is supposed to go along with this siren song of Constitutionality. So now that they have what they want...they can play the Freedom Caucus/Koch Brothers game of “let’s blow up DC for the good of America” and be damned if everyone else suffers.
I hope Trump/Bannon and anyone else who will work with them run the Freedom Caucus out of Washington and out of our lives.
I am so surprised at how so many on this site are SO WILLING to have government involved in their healthcare, look at the VA for crying out loud what in the HELL are you people going to do when the government decides to ration your care!!! The HFC is the one SMALL group of people TRYING to keep the tentacles of government from continuously growing into our lives and NOW folks here are berating them??? CALL ME CONFUSED I thought WE all WANTED small government!!! Healthcare is the ONE thing you all should want control over your DAMNED lives depend on it!!!
You nailed it! I have been trying to say the same thing (inarticulately) for the last week. FC is full of sh*t! They don’t live in the real world.
