Today's Rants: A Random Thought!
The GOP controls Congress, the Supreme Court and the White House. So, our healthcare system failure is ON THE GOP! Instead of shoving a plan down our throats why don’t you ask us what we want and need first and then tailor a plan that actually would do just that. But don’t line your pockets or the insurance folks at the same time. Let people know what the plan is and then you’d be surprised how many people will actually support you. Hope you learned your lesson. You may have run on a platform but if that platform does not include us it really isn’t a platform is it? And while you are at it — the plan you offer us should be the same as the plan you get. End of discussion!
