Fun story. Apparently I wasn't getting extra subsidies. Florida Blue (BCBS) raised their rates the highest they ever have for next year! (Told to me just now by their customer service.) *string of expletives*

Yeah. I am looking into switching to an HMO after having my PPO for almost a decade. I'm losing my neurologist that I've had forever. I'm still investigating what other things I'll lose.

The problem is that I think many of them were in on it. The one who weren't already want him gone.

I make very little and mine is going up by $200. I was getting the extra ATC.

I need a good cry. This shit is stressful. Just constantly being alert to what politician or corporation is trying to screw us today and how I can try to avoid it.

You're trying to use reason. They (or whoever told them to vote that way) had ulterior motives that have nothing to do with logic or reason.

Only if we vote in the true progressives. None of the corporate or AIPAC Dems.

Schumer’s resume:

- gets outfoxed by McConnell during two Trump impeachments

- consistently fails to whip the vote when it matters

- folds like a cheap lawn chair under pressure

- thumbs his nose at new progressive candidates

It’s like we brought reading glasses to a gun fight.

I haven't given them a cent since 2016.

They get more money from their billionaire donors and don't even need us.

She won't care. She's not running again. It won't be her problem.

I refuse to believe that she is this naive.

This is exactly correct.

Because screwing us over is usually good for their donors.

Even one from Virginia where Democrats swept. The same one who could've been our vice president decided it was a good day to screw the working class.

They know that. Stop acting like they're dumb. They're not. This was intentional.

If you believe it was just 8 senators I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. This was a Schumer operation.

100%

I wish people would stop acting like they're stupid. They knew exactly what they were doing. I'm sure there were promises made that encouraged these eight senators to do this. They were probably made by Chuck Schumer.

Not stupid. Greedy.

Don't give them that much credit. They did it for money. There's no other explanation. They're not naive. They know there will never be a vote on ACA, much less one they can win.

Because they're beholden to their big money donors and will clearly screw over their constituents to get that donor money.

Republicans were overwhelmingly getting blamed for the shutdown.
There was no reason for the Democrats to cave to Trump on healthcare, except for the fact that they are wholly owned and operated by the health insurance lobby.

And many others. This is just the latest blow.

And imagine, Tim Kaine was almost our vice president and is now happy to shit on working class Americans.

Unfortunately, we've been saying that all year and nothing's been done about it.

And also for the rest of his days on Earth

That actually makes sense. Some day Schumer will be on the fast elevator to hell, and somehow it will be a surprise to him.

Yeah, why didn't you stick with this, dickhead?
