“In a few short weeks the American people will head to the polls where they can vote for another two years of Republican attempts to gut our health-care system, or they can vote for Democratic candidates who will safeguard the protections now in place and work to make health care more affordable,” Senate Democratic Leader Charles Schumer (N.Y.) said on the Senate floor Wednesday.

Obamacare caused my son's health insurance premiums to increase four-fold. That is not "more affordable" in my book. Previously, his health-care plan covered him but excluded his pre-existing condition. Now, it nominally covers everything--but the deductible is so high that we are still paying for the pre-existing condition treatment. In fact, it has covered nothing, but at four times the price. And he cannot go for a cheaper option, because they tell him that they won't cover him at all because of the pre-existing condition. What happened to just being able to buy insurance that covers emergencies, minus coverage of pre-existing conditions? That is an option that no longer exists because of Obamacare... the insurance that was supposed to make insurance more affordable but didn't.

I wish Schumer would remember that he is supposed to represent the people, not himself and his rich cronies.

Exactly what is the point of making every person cover their check ups or the most minor illnesses or injuries that might cost a few 100 bucks at most to treat?

Because the Dems think you are too stupid to know what you need and they like getting piles of cash from big business.

I cannot stand to watch the reprehensible Chuck Schumer. He’s as slick as whale poop, and twice as dirty.
