There's something truly deceitful about gutting healthcare for children &people w/#cancer at 1am when most people are sleeping.

In one night, the GOP voted to take away these 6 essential health benefits https://thinkprogress.org/694a83fbaaf6

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

1. Just want to scream, cry, vomit, throw something... just want this nightmare to be over!

[Vinca]

2. It will be over for some people. It's been keeping people alive.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

4. Not exactly what I was thinkin', but you are SO right Vinca... people need to take to the streets, BIGLY!!!

[bigtree]

3. that's me, exactly

...just came home from work to this tragedy.

Every cretin who votes in favor of this needs to be targeted in elections until they're finished. We also need to repeal whatever health care taxpayers are gifting these millionaires. They don't deserve even one more day in office.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

9. Right there with you big! We need to take to the streets like in the Vietnam War days... this will not stand!!

[Nitram]

13. Don't panic, people. Keep your wits about you. We're going to need them.

This may be a long slog of a fight, and you need to save your energy for battle. This is no time to throw up your hands and surrender to hysteria.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

19. Yes, I'm throwing up my hands and surrendering... it's over, we're all going to die!

[Nitram]

20. In the immortal words of Monty Python:

Run away!

[Laurian]

5. Meaness, pure and simple.

I will be calling both my (Republican) senators today. Probably like pissing in the wind, but I'll do it.

[alarimer]

6. It's what people voted for, so let them have it.

Let them have every last thing they supposedly wanted. Then just laugh when they complain. You vote for evil, you get evil. You wanted change for change's sake, so here it is. Fuckers.

[bigtree]

7. most of our lives out here just don't work that way

...the impact will be absolutely devastating.

Remember, a clear majority did not vote for this.

[Ohioblue22]

15. but too many dems did either by voting for trump (and i know

a few who did) or by voting for stein or gary jackass or by not voting

[Laurian]

8. Medicare and Social Security are next.

The consequences of letting this play out are too grave.

[bigtree]

10. I agree, Laurain

...those relying on the next election to sort this out don't fully realize the emergency, or aren't invested at all in the lives of people impacted.

Complacency and rationalizations offered by folks here and elsewhere are clear signals that nothing of value of theirs is at stake.

[Ohioblue22]

16. they cant do anything with these programs that the dems cant fix

[Ms. Toad]

11. Thank you for being so willing to let my daughther die to make a point.

[Ohioblue22]

14. i agree im tired of fighting those who refuse to vote for dem's nom

every 2 to 4 years let them suffer under the thumb of the republican.

i have heard these excuse from duers for not voting for the dem's nom.

"i need something to vote for not against "
"im not voting for someone just because there's a 'd' by their name."
"dem's havent inspired me to vote"
"voting for someone just because there's a 'd' by their name isnt working for me anymore"

18. I'm going to lose my ACA health insurance. I'm frightened.

I'm a single mom in a red state that did not expand Medicaid.

Apparently the CHIP program for children (called Peachcare in Georgia) is also being defunded. Peachcare predates the ACA.

I am terrified. If I lose my healthcare, I will have no security, no safety net. If I fall seriously ill, I could lose my home: my child's home. My child could become uninsured. My job does not provide health insurance.

[Bettie]

12. They will all likely reap

huge profits from this and have the added bonus of knowing that people will die.

I have come to the conclusion that these soulless Republicans get a sick thrill over people dying due to their actions.

They take pleasure in knowing that they have caused suffering and death, makes them feel powerful or some such thing.

[angstlessk]

17. GROSS NEGLIGENCE! It is a charge that can and is used against anyone

who denies to seek help for someone who needs emergency care' whose very life depends on needed medical care!

Parents who 'pray away' illness only to have their child die are charged with a criminal act!

Why not congress?
