    Congress has become totally dysfunctional. They won't get anything done on healthcare OR immigration.
    When the executive branch shows zero leader ship through inept policy.
    There is no Will to even work with the red congress on tough issues.

    The congressional dysfunction predates Trump, unless you are including Obama in that description.

    I had a policy through work. A good one. And it also tripled overnight.
    The addition of pre-existing conditions, and pre-emptory raises in premium will do that.

    Can't speak to how the actuaries in your plan managed to get that substantiated. This is why we need to increase income taxes on the wealthy, because you can bet your ass they are earning money on the profits from your health insurer, and paying less in taxes than you do.

    I totally agree....but from what I’ve seen, neither party has our best interest in mind....never have, never will....so nothing changes. I realize how cynical and awful and short sighted that sounds, but it’s just kinda where I’m at with my opinion of our government.
    That may change. Single payer is now being discussed at the progressive end of the Democratic party, and Medicare for all is a good first step, something the right will fight tooth and nail.

    The two sides are NOT equal, but hey, I can't fault anybody for being cynical at this point. Just don't let the "both sides are equal" it cloud your thinking too much. That is an assumption that MUST always be challenged. Flat earth and globe earth theories are a good example of why that is.

    Here is your sides total, hypocritical double standard, i.e. Obama Derangement Syndrome, a play in three minutes:

    What If Fox News Covered Trump the Way It Covered Obama?

    A broken Congress, less than 15% public approval, is absolutely desired by the oligarchy, since they have rigged the status quo and don't want it touched.

    Meanwhile, the oligarchy's s in Trash's Exec continue to "neo-liberalize", aka destroy, their agencies.

    Meanwhile, McC rams through in groups young incompetent ideologues into their Federal robes for life.

    and the political SCOTUS s will permit the citizenship question and approve partisan gerrymandering.

    America is ed and un able.

    The Democrats are going to fight it tooth and nail too. I have no hope for the party after they have been ting on Bernie and AOC. You think they'd learn something from the asskicking they took thanks to Clinton but nope. They want to be the party of Clinton and not the party of FDR.

    The right will fight because BigHealthCare pays them VERY WELL to fight.

    Reducing America's cost of health care means reducing BigHealthCare's income, profits

    BHC simply will not allow that and have the $$$ to protect their profits.

    The power of the oligarchy is not open to challenge.
