So I completely lost my shit last night.

[Penelope]

Keep your powder dry...see what happens......

Yeah, I don't have much fucking choice. Early indications aren't positive, but I'll try not to lose my shit again.

At least in front of other people.
.

I thought you said you lost your shirt, but you said you completely lost your shit, or almost. Better get some diapers, your going to need them.

 

[gipper]

If you knew me in real life, you'd know me to be very calm and even-tempered. So it was a little shocking to my wife, and my older daughter & her husband (who were over to BBQ) when I pretty much lost my shit. No beer or scotch were involved. Uh, yet. They got quite a laugh over it.

The "trigger" (heh) was a news story (like this one: Conservatives Fight to Stop ‘Obamacare Lite’) that indicated that, with all their political power, with all their bitching, with nine years to fucking come up with a good health care plan, the GOP is going to belch out some watered-down version of the ACA.

Gosh, what a big ol' fucking shock. So, when this Pig 2.0 is finally vomited onto the populace, this country will STILL be saddled with seven (7) entirely separate health care delivery/payment systems, a MASSIVE cost monkey on the backs of American employers, and so many inefficiencies that it simply is not going to do a much better job (if at all) than what it is "replacing".

So, arms waving, I ranted and raved at a relatively high volume for about 90 seconds, ultimately culminating in an even louder AAAUUUUGHHHHH, and my son in law couldn't contain his giggling. My wife and daughter were staring at me, smiling, with bug eyes. The only positive was that no one recorded it for Facebook. On this I feel fortunate.

"Leaders" my ass. These people are a joke.
.

The one thing though......Trump is President...and he said he was going to fix obamacare.........the republicans in office were the ones Trump supporters voted agains as well.....you knew this was to be expected from those Republicans...that is why jeb didn't win and Trump did......Republicans voted against the Washington Republicans as much as they voted against hilary......so it is not unexpected that the cowards in washington, the ones who always talk about "reaching across the aisle" and "working with the other side" are more than happy to do nothing about obamacare....that is why Trump won...to beat these assholes as badly as he beat the democrats.....

Keep your powder dry...see what happens......

Agreed. Trump is the wild card...hopefully he can do something, but don't hold your breath. He is being attacked on multiple fronts and betrayers are all around him.

But Mac, when will you accept the fact that Rs are near clones of Ds? They are mostly a bunch of lying corrupt criminal gangsters. Accept this fact and you won't ever lose your shit again.

Yup when I first read it my mind saw "shirt" as well. Naturally I thought this thread was going to be about a casino game.

Oh hell, I point out all the time how similar the two ends of the spectrum are.

Where do you turn when you know both sides are going to put politics over country?

Come to think of it, that frustration was probably an element in my shit-losing. Loss of shit. No, wait. Meltdown.

You just made me do it again.

You come to the realization that the nation is fucked. Just accept it and live your life to it's fullest.

 

[JakeStarkey]

The sun has risen, and some of the right of center are startled to find out what they have told all these years is true: (1) the GOP never had a plan of their own; and (2) ACA will continue in one form or another.

I am aware of the saying " lost my shirt" but not lost my shit. Get adult diapers.

Yikes.

I have never lost my sh!t.

But I have lost my shirt a few times in poker at casinos.

Ann COulter's been slamming the GOP congress on this very topic. You should read her. You sound just like her.


Ok. that last bit was a joke.

I want single payer too.

Funny every European I know likes national healthcare for its citizens.

But you can't let non citizens use it. Then it becomes unaffordable.

Obamacare is bad because anti reform special interest didn't let us do what was necessary to protect their industry.

 

[OldLady]

I too am not happy if what we are hearing comes to fruition.

It will still be mandatory which pisses me off

-Geaux

Paul Ryan says it WON'T be like that. I hope it's not mandatory; I wish they'd just get rid of it. Before my granddaughter gets to be my age, there will be universal healthcare in this country, which is what should have been done in 2008.

Well, I don't want Single Payer, I want the dual-payer Medicare/Medicare Advantage/Medicare Supplement system applied to all. An already-functioning blend of public foundation and private competition and innovation.

The crap these two fucked up parties are "offering" is some hideous Frankenstein's monster.
