Speaking "Truth to Power" doesn't always mean denying leaders their ambitions. In a democracy, it sometimes means leaders standing up to the Will of The People, telling them "no" when their demands are irrational, unreasonable, or impossible to accomplish. Does the Republican party have any leaders with the integrity or courage to do this?

/----/ Hey moron - what you described is not a democracy but a Republic. And what demands of ours are irrational, unreasonable, or impossible to accomplish? Got any specifics or just more platitudes?Speaking "Truth to Power" doesn't always mean denying leaders their ambitions.

no--as you can clearly tell ---Trump is a wimp and is very PC
he's afraid to say just about anything
If it's true, yeah. He's scared shitless of that.

it's the exact opposite of Trump to be a wimp/afraid/etc
I was referring Republicans in general, but Trump's childish bravado hardly qualifies as courage.
Anyway, the point is - forcing the coverage of pre-existing conditions on insurance companies is irrational, and precious few Republicans have the guts to say so. Granted, that's because voters are even more stupid and gutless than their chosen reps, but that's what we need leaders for. Republicans aren't leading.

Of course not. The PE requirement was their idea in the first place. What's your point?

With a fifteen dollar an hour minimum wage and unemployment compensation for simply being unemployed, hypothetically and in this alternative, the equivalent to fourteen dollars an hour.
Anyone should be able to secure financing based on means, from the financial sector. Persons could purchase the type of policy that best suits their needs at that moment.
It doesn't get more market friendly than that.

Speaking "Truth to Power" doesn't always mean denying leaders their ambitions ... standing up to the Will of The People, telling them "no" when their demands are irrational, unreasonable, or impossible to accomplish.
The ambitions of unjust enrichment by abuse of public office must be cut off without mercy and the wound cauterized. I'm sorry. It hurts. There's no anesthetic for this sort of thing.
The people want their guns back. We are not being irrational or unreasonable. We need to sew up the holes in our pockets so we don't keep going broke every time a cop "pulls up" our record from some fascist government gun control database or another.

This thread is about the pre-existing conditions provision of ACA.
Republicans were originally against the measure, because they knew it was stupid. But so are voters, and when Republicans realized how popular the provision was, the cowardly Republicans bailed on their convictions and joined the idiocracy parade.

Because it's rude and alienates the person you're talking to? I guess it depends on what your goal is. If you want to express your ideas and/or persuade someone - it's a pretty dumb opening move./----/ Hey moron - ...
