I figured it was because McCain is a RINO like the rest of them and voted with the insurance lobbyists. That an actual repeal was too extreme for him.

Even when the guy has brain cancer and will soon be dead he still puts the lobbyists ahead of the American people.

Why force people to pay for something that goes against their moral beliefs and/or religion? Do you want to be forced to pay for clinics that use shock therapy to "un-gay" someone?

I agree it's just so divisive that they shouldn't tie it up with any other issues. Pork barreling complicates everything.

Abortion is not funded, it's hasn't been for decades.

Keep telling yourself that. What ever helps you sleep at night...

I bet you probably think your tax payer dollars only go to regular ammunition and not depleted uranium...

Why would I think they don't use depleted uranium?

So your cool with that, but think planned parent hood is just about gyno exams? You're ignorant as fuck...

I just said that abortions aren't funded, I didn't say they didn't perform them.

Learn to read.

I just said that abortions aren't funded,

They are, though.

But I know trump loves the uneducated like you.

Fuck Trump. I don't give a shit about him or you idiots "against" him...

Some of that shit is sickening but... who gonna pay for my girl's birth control pills now? Lmao

Why doesn't she pay for it? Why do I?

Because she doesn't exist :( In all reality though, I wish we had a government that's actually interested in helping it's citizens, so none of us have to pay for them and other health related issues.

Whether you agree or disagree with abortion Planned Parenthood does a great deal for communities with STD testing, checkups whatever. Communities like them and are useful to those around, abortion rates litteraly go down the more PP there are due to access to their resources

Abortion is murder, and that is where the money is... Plain and simple.. Why do you support Eugenics?

I support people choosing when to have kids. Ideally abortions wouldn't be needed if people were safe all the time but mistakes happen.

So, you support murder?

Still not murder, unborn fetuses are not people, weird to argue sounds cold but it's the truth because they are literally UNBORN not people. I believe in bodily autonomy abortion is control over your body. Outlaw abortions and deaths rates from coat hanger procedures will rise, close PP and abortions will rise

I don't consider you a person, can I kill you?

Are you retarded?

Nope. Answer the question.

Doesn't matter what you consider to be a person. I am a person, sadly you are to. Imma put it in caps UNBORN FETUSES ARE NOT PEOPLE. Can't change that no matter what you believe dumbfuck 🤣 bye

So... nothing. Just going to run away. Typical..

Rule #10

You didn't address my comments, unborn fetuses are not people no matter what you believe

unborn fetuses are not people no matter what you believe

Evidence? I could say you are not human, therefore I could hunt and kill you... :) So what is it? Also, it takes a man and a woman.. The woman does not "own" the baby... Now... Can I kill you, based on "subjective" beliefs? My gun is loaded...

Let's be fucking real here ppl. A life is a life when it has self sufficient biological functions. If something is not.. it's a fucking paper weight object

Based on what? What lying medicine faggots say? The same people that don't validate their studies or experiments? The same who say flouride good for you and I and filling a baby with mercury is good for the immune system?

I used to think like you, but then I grew the fuck up and realized that everything in this world is about PROFIT and thus POWER.

Mercury in my body ?!?!?! Noooooo, you need to grow up and realize your not special in this world, and that there's no big cover up on vaccines I'm glad they exist so I don't get fucking polio

Polio?

Lol.

Again, super close to a ban.

Down voted for your moral beliefs I see. Such tolerant SJW

Rule 4

Because people take care of other people on earth.

Ya know, like Jesus did?

I'm glad I am able to be certain now that reading comments from this person is a waste of time.

McCain would have no issue with defunding planned parenthood. Except he probably likes the idea killing babies, so there is that.

This is how psychopaths think. It does not matter to McCain that 300 million people's heath is effected by his vote. All that matters is him seeking revenge on Trump who hurt his feelings earlier.

His feelings are more important to him than the health of 300 million people and he sees nothing wrong with that because our entire political system is designed to cater to psychopaths.

His feelings are more important to him than the health of 300 million people

In his speech he made it clear, he just wanted congress to return to the old ways. How does this follow for him voting YES for the 2 procedural votes and NO for the actual bill? He said in his speech that he would not support any bill that had not gone through the traditional open hearing/committee process like the original ACA went through. This bill did not, and thus he kept his word and voted no.

Is that the excuse? Oh well it all makes sense now. Meanwhile, everyone I know is complaining about the Shit healthcare. Many of them refuse to even participate with Obamacare or can't afford it.

The bottom line is that our healthcare system is like the Flint water crisis. It needed to be fixed yesterday but it some how magically drags on year after year while the government claims to be working on fixing it. If this fucking government can't do their jobs, they need to hand the keys to our lives back to us so we can take over the job.

Actually, the primary reason for voting against the repeal is many thousands of people, especially the most vulnerable, would use coverage.

Hehe, that sounds like an ad straight from the DNC.

People want coverage but not this kind of shit coverage. It's so damn expensive and frustrating, people are taking a risk and going without insurance because having Obamacare is simply not worth the costs.

There was nothing in this bill that would have lowered consumer costs. They never claimed it would. It would have cut back on Medicaid that many depend on. Along with planned parenthood.

Weren't they about to repeal Obamacare?

Hahahaha

What was the vote for then?

The most vulnerable have always been covered, even before Obamacare

If you had a pre existing condition you were never covered before the ACA.

You have fallen for false talking points

The Health Insurance Association of America describes Medicaid as a "government insurance program for persons of all ages whose income and resources are insufficient to pay for health care"

Obamacare expanded Medicaid to people with incomes up to 133% of the poverty line.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medicaid

Republicans want to roll that back to 100% of the poverty line.

Are you responding to me? Because I was saying the same thing in reply to someone claiming Medicare covered a wider group of people.

I was responding to the comment I responded to. I haven't read all the comments on this post, so I apologize if it conflicted with something else.

Well CNN is telling me that the skinny bill wouldn't have touched medicaid unless PP is considered part of it. But yeah PP is a wedge issue, they shouldn't have muddied the waters with it.

Fuck you to Trump and he wanted bipartisan input on a healthcare bill instead of just one side writing it. Dems wrote the ACA on their own and GOP with their own he wants both to work together

McCain and his butt buddy Graham are obviously in lock step with the globalist agenda...anyone can see that.

"Globalist" = zionist.

It is so obvious what the agenda is. It's Kabuki theatre! The republicans want to just repeal the ACA and replace with guess what - NOTHING!

I am not excusing the Democrats at all because Obama got us that disaster of Obamacare. This is because he listened to the ex-IDF soldier Rahm Emmanuel who called most of us 'Fucking Retarded'. The now mayor of Chicago is a disaster.

Sorry to go off subject but I can't help it.

That floodgate has been open aince January, I'm surprised there is any water left.

Break the AMA's monopoly on health care. Do an anti-trust investigation into the link between big pharma and frontline medicine. Ensure actual competition, and maybe an MRI will cost $50 like it does in mexico, and asthma puffers will cost $5. Cut out the outrageous price gouging that only a monopoly can inflict, and maybe everyone won't need insurance.

This bill would not have done that.

He didn't vote "against healthcare", he voted against a repeal with no replacement. Hundreds of thousands of people would have lost their coverage.

Just like when I lost my coverage when Obamacare was passed ???

The skinny bill was BS anyways.

If you had a pre existing condition you were never covered before the ACA.

Polio?

Lol.
