Democrats Hold the Senate Floor to Protest Trumpcare; But It’s All a Farce

I know Trumpfags will get upset with me over this issue — but Trumpcare is complete horseshit. It’s a different sort of horseshit than Obamacare — which was, essentially, free healthcare for homeless people — fucking everyone else. Trumpcare merely punts the homeless people into graveyards, whilst screwing everyone else.

How do I know this, without reading the gagillion pages in the healthcare bill?

The god damned healthcare stocks are higher.

Here are the YTD gains for some of the more prominent healthcare names.

CNC+39%, ANTM +34%, WCG +28%, MOH +28%, CI +27%, HCA +14%.

The list goes on and on.

I understand the vast majority of expenses emanates from real estate expenses. Pharamafags like to explain how the price of drugs is a transitory, almost meaningless, line item.

Go fuck yourselves.

Everything should be slashed. The healthcare lobbyists in DC should be rounded up and guillotined for ‘crimes against the people.’ The whole industry is one giant corrupt fuckery, designed to milk the dying baby boomers to maximum levels or carnivorous crony capitalism. Do not tell me that I should pay $2k per mo for a family plan, because MUH American exceptionalism produces great healthcare. What use is the healthcare if you don’t have access to it?

Both parties are complicit in perfidious fleecing of the middle class, through unbelievable corruption in healthcare.

Ever spend a weekend in the hospital? I once had to have a procedure done and was in between insurance plans — sticking me with a bill that amounted to tens of thousands. I had the money to pay it, but instead opted to tell them to ‘literally’ fuck themselves.

I will not be a party to ingratiating criminals who prey upon the weak and the poor to build monuments for themselves.

The only time that I can recall healthcare stocks getting drilled was when Bill Clinton proposed reform, which was defeated, helped by that fucking bastard BILL KRISTOL. With the benefit of hindsight, the Bill Clinton aka Hillary Clinton reform of 1993 was probably a good thing for ordinary folk. I recall seeing those stocks plunge lower on a daily basis, in an unbelievable manner. I was an intern at Seligman at the time and those greedy bastards were smartly buying the dip in those beaten down healthcare names. The carnage was truly palpable.

There is no such thing as win-win in the healthcare industry, for both consumer and provider. Someone has to lose; and as far as I am concerned, we’ve been on the losing end of the see-saw for the better part of forever.

Schumer ‘holding the floor’ tonight, in protest of the GOP bill. Like it fucking matters.

      Go fuck yourself. “MrMoe” That is deviant shit and we in the know know. Trumpcare does not exist. Yet. When the Orange God is done throwing your kind down rabbit holes and locked in crab filled cages forever. Then. Trumpcare will save the America.

        Love your brutal writing style – sort of Ernest Hemingway meets Lenny Bruce. When you publish your next book, I want a copy.

          I’d say he’s more Don Rickles meets an outwardly homophobic megachurch preacher who ends-up being caught in an motel room with a young boy. The Ironbird protests too much.

    Break up the pharma monopoly, introduce generic drugs, import drugs from Mexico and Canada, free the pharma market by introducing competition. Healthcare costs will go down.

    OT …it was erroneously reported here that Sen Sanders had the courage to stand against Russian hysteria. It was Sens Paul and Lee showing balls, not Paul and Sanders.

    The moral hazards of greedy drug pushers showed up last year. Looks like there is an attempt at pricing opacity. Health care will get major overhaul as everyone now feel’s the pain of heal care costs even with white collar jobs.
