122 Trusses or 261 heads of lettuce

Spot on!

Or willfully ignorant & proud of it. Higher Ed is "elitist" and so is dijon mustard, or wearing a tan suit. Their protest signs are ridiculous but they seem proud of it. "Get a brain morans" and "Descent is patriotic." My mom is MAGA. We're estranged. I don't need racism in my life.

Republicans have not fixed anything. Period.

Marshall is an idiot

The GOP healthcare plan is shaping up to be a real doozy, but not in a good way. JFC, Republicans couldn't even organize an orgy at a brothel.

The key thing to note is that if you write legislation then you own it but of you do nothing you will take no blame. Repubs do not want to own a replacement to Ocare they just want to beat Dems over the head with it forever.

Yeah, Trump's idea of great it's pretty goddamn awful..

He needs to find 60 votes on a plan that doesn't exist. Well that sounds promising.

Fucking idiots, it's always nothing but complaining about ACA because they hate Obama, but they offer no viable alternatives or solutions.

Didn’t Donald Trump — our president — say his “replace” health care proposal (the best ever in history) was going to be ready in “about two weeks”??

Explain to me like I was a 1st grader how giving folks $1,500. On an HSA drives the cost of health care down ? Especially for folks in high risk pools due to pre existing?

FYI majority of Americans support ACA. Republicans don’t give a damn.

He doesn't even have all Republican votes. It's DOA. And BTW, anyone can reduce the cost of healthcare by reducing what it covers. They have no intention of pressuring insurance companies to reduce their charges, or drug companies to reduce the cost of their drugs, or physicians to take less.

Now class we need to figure out how many journalism hours did it take to come up with this question? Ok goooo

That is one of the most honest things I've heard from that side in a while, truly.

Healthcare inherently requires insurance because of the wide variance in risks and care costs. It *cannot* be addressed through personal savings. Fortunately, that financial structure makes insurance the exact right solution. Unfortunately, republicans simply cannot comprehend how insurance works.

Insensitive idiot from red state, they never change.

What bill?? How many bills on healthcare have gone through Congress this year?? Zilch.

The ACA was the compromise bill. Dems wanted universal healthcare and settled for the Mitt Romney alternative.

Why didn't she ask him about HIS Healthcare?

Um, you can say republicans are incapable or unwilling to put forth a viable plan. Could be you’re beholden to the insurance and medical lobbies. Could be you’re simply incompetent.

A brief walk down memory lane... Republicans have been lying about having a healthcare plan for decades. Paul Ryan whined incessantly about his healthcare plan being ignored by the Democratic house, but for some weird reason, when he became speaker of the house, he didn't introduce his plan. 🤷🏼

They want to kill Obamacare/ACA, & then us. It's really that simple. That IS their healthcare plan.

You can't possibly be expected to think of everything!!

Pretty hard for them to come up with an alternative when Obamacare, which was once called Romney Care, is the plan from Heritage that was the alternative to HillaryCare.

The Republicans have no interest in providing Healthcare to their constituents. They don't believe in any help, of any kind, for anyone. They've wanted to do away with Social Security since it was enacted, and it pays for itself! Trump says he's we get $2K to buy our own. Should buy 1 month.

Lol... nothing.

Because if we come up with something ourselves - we can’t blame Biden, Obama, Hollary ( fill in a any D’s name ) when it fails.

How are those measles outbreaks going?

So, if he is unsure what he can say, why is he parading on the air. Get the fuck off asshole, and that would be you Magats Marshall!

She should him stopped him and asked: multiple solutions? Since when?

What person would vote this idiot in to office he is a republican, I guess that’s one of the reasons!

You could say: “Honestly, we rich maga christians do not give a hot shit about our ignorant, uneducated, unEvolved Paleolithic rural idiot supporters or their fucking healthcare. And it’s great because rural magas are too fucking stupid to ever figure it out.”

Also remember all the compromises Obama had to make in the bill to get it passed. They're what's killing us - insurers retained the ability to profit at the expense of the program.

Yes. I now work in a pediatric urgent care center, and had a measles and a TB case come in recently. Indiana is trying to pass a "Medical Freedom" law so daycares and schools can't insist on vaccinations to attend. Yay? Waiting for Polio to enter the chat...

Given the ACA was based on ‘Romneycare’ & the original mandate hailed by the Heritage Foundation in the 1990’s, it’s all the more bizarre. Typical churlish GOP nonpartisan nonsense. 🤬

The reTHUGs never wanted to give us health care solutions, they want us to die off. That's their plan. Die scum die

Fucktard

Kids in the Hall = a follow.

Because I dont want any help that a minority will also get. Racism kills the racist

They only serve HMOs and pharmaceutical companies when it comes to healthcare.

I highly suggest that people who live in disaster-prone areas invest in a chainsaw, heavy work gloves, and other self-sufficient means because FEMA will not be there to help. Get handy with that chainsaw, and invest in scuba gear for hurricane season. Do it now before prices go up even more.

But we have no boots now.

MAGAts.. were the best republicans Don’t forget us

Those are ALL REPUBLICAN VOTES… just to be clear

Just pointless duplication. That's Democrats for ya😶

Chasten Buttigiege does the same thing. He slips in incognito, but I know it's him. He tells me what he needs me to know, lets me know they are OK, and to keep safe and sends hugs. I just send out the Bat Signal, he knows it's me, and I hear back, which is cool. I met Pete in 2010. He knows me 🙂

Nothing, absolutely nothing. Single payer

Another Republican moron lying to the average GOP base who are regularly hurt badly by Republican polices. Or in this case, the lack of one. At best this will be a copy of ObamaCare that Trump tried to claim credit for.

Profit. It’s all about profit. Take the Profit out of healthcare and see how much $ would be available to actually help people. Pay the people providing it.

Have they put forward a specific bill that people can study and understand it’s impact? Has one hearing been held on it or a Committee considered it? Public testimony? Suggestions on how it might be improved? Cost estimate?

NOBODY is doing the long -term thinking. They never see past the next quarterly report, because their donors don't, either. Their lack of a healthcare plan is a result of simple apathy and boredom. They just don't want to think about it. Memes and vibes.

Of course he doesn’t. This sack of shit has Not had an original idea in his entire tenure of representing my state (where he doesn’t live). He’s like a seat filler at the Oscars. This is a facile way for them to keep running against Obama, who, you may remember, was black, with an unusual name.

Republicans don't know what to say because they have no healthcare plan and never will They don't care if people die as long as isn't them They have free healthcare that taxpayers provide

They can say nothing. They can do nothing. And that’s exactly what they’ve done.

Repugs Healthcare plan. AT bottom of BOWL

He also lied at least 3 times in this interview mostly out of ignorance of how the ACA even worked. It's time to get representation in government and it's not Republicans

revoke HIS healthcare that all of US are paying for.

They reject the idea that the government should provide anyone with access to healthcare but are too afraid to say so.

Still in the concept of a plan stage… for 15 years.

Pity Trump never shared his "concepts of a plan", thinks could have been sooo different 🤷🙄😕

You can say you suck at your job

Lets start with, "here is my letter of resignation".

Simple. Your crowd always promises huge planning and strategy moves for two weeks out. Just say “two weeks”.

No. Biden had the Build Back Better infrastructure plan and was making progress. We're still waiting for "infrastructure week"any day now...in 2 weeks...

They’ve never even tried!

Republicans are the ones who broke the ACA when they sued to remove the mandate. People seem to lack a basic understanding of how pooled risk works. Systems like this require healthy enrolees who don't use the system as often as someone who is sick. It makes it affordable for everyone.

Along with Aussie voting & superannuation platforms !

He could just not say anything. He is such a state embarrassment.

Like every other republican that has drawn breath lately, he is full of shit!

Republicans have had 15 years to figure out a way to get rid of it without being caught. There - fixed it for ya.

Literally every “new” idea is an old idea that spurred the ACA into existence. Good god…

Almost like "concepts" don't work.

You could go away on this topic until you have a well-researched and coordinated plan that looks exactly like Medicare for All and not expect us to "trust me broh".

“High risk re-insurance group” means you have to pay a ton or reduce coverage doesn’t it? Is that a “solution”?

So you do not have a solution. Got it.

Obamacare has improved the lives of tens of millions of Americans. It has been a huge success. Could it have been better? Sure. Why wasn't it? because Republicans have been focused not on making it better, but on destroying it.

One of the few journalists able for Maga bullshitters

Btw, he obviously selected the short straw amongst the GOP MDs to sell their 💩 plans ( or lack of thereof)

Say what you will about the Healthcare it has been labeled socialist for some weird reason, but as someone who has had the pleasure of experiencing it, you get significantly better care. Furthermore, it costs their taxpayers significantly less than ours does. Yeah, it's terrible...

They have concepts of a plan.

Republicans have offered zero solutions on healthcare. Dead Americans are collateral damage in their quest for power.

We need to rid the world of for profit healthcare. The only thing it has delivered are riches for the wealthy and misery for America. We must have universal healthcare.

Way to go Kaitlin! All journalists need to start being more direct with questioning.

"I'm not sure what we can say...but we can rule out, 'Republicans have found a better alternative to Obamacare.'" For that matter, we can probably also rule out, "Republicans are looking for a better alternative to Obamacare."

Repukes have done squat. No incentive when they have free blue chip healthcare insurance

Nothing TO say. Republicans actively oppose health security for Americans.

Moron.

Because they (Republicans in Congress) didn't care about the people, only themselves.

Putting people with pre-existing conditions into a high risk category is what we had before Obamacare and it was a disaster. Those folks will never get insurance again - they’ll die or go bankrupt. Probably both.

High risk pool bullshit, they’re grasping

MAGAt's focus is on destroying any good that Dems have done or will do. It is not about what's good for the country. Their laser offensive focus prevents them from fulfilling their oaths of office. This will not change so long as they have the majority. That makes it crucial that they be dethroned.

Did he say “our bill”, what bill?

Republicans came up with a solution 14 years ago. They started passing legislation to weaken the ACA/Obamacare. First by reducing the penalty for not getting insurance to zero. The rule is still there, just no consequences by not getting coverage. It resulted in higher premiums for those that did.

I can't change the past. Hahaha priceless
