    I assume they reserve for the states the right to kill you?

    It's gonna be good to be white, male, upper middle class, and straight for the next few years.

      One person dies for every 300-800 uninsured people, so you're looking at killing 27,500 on the low end, 73,000 on the high end.

          So the Senate pouts when the House gives them a horrid bill that would kick 23 million off health care...they spend weeks in secret trying to come up with something better and their new awesome plan kicks off 22 million!

          Oh well...I got awesome insurance and live in a nice middle class suburb in a Blue State. It is going to be fun seeing all those people in the states surrounding me going to hell the next few years!

                  That's been a GOP motto for a long time. They have to be just a little bit careful with this, though, since the deep red part of the herd will be the first to get culled. That's a pretty dumb bunch of animals, though, and not likely to figure it out anytime soon.

                    There isnt a Republican that can beat Coleman. He has St. Paul (he is their very popular mayor) and Minneapolis locked without breaking a sweat.

                      And red is red. And the state has a lot of red.

                      So, since we've determined that Health Care has no new ideas and it's going to bankrupt everyone but the 1% what do we do about it?

                      Along that theme.

                      There is a structural flaw in modern capitalism. Tremendous income gains are going to those in the top 20 percent, but prospects are diminishing for those in the middle and working classes. This gigantic trend widens inequality, exacerbates social segmentation, fuels distrust and led to Donald Trump.
                      Republican politicians believe that government should tax people less. The Senate bill would eliminate the 3.8 percent tax on investment income for those making over $250,000. Republican politicians believe that open-ended entitlements should be cut. The Senate health care plan would throw 15 million people off Medicaid, according to the Congressional Budget Office. (This is the program that covers nearly 40 percent of America’s children.)

                        Yeah and the state still held Blue even for Hillary (though barely) so I am not too worried about it. Plus the MNGOP is pretty weak at that level.

                        The one saving grace of the ridiculous health care plan is that Medicaid isnt just an entitlement for dem poor Negrahs...the White population that rely on it is very high.

                                You realize that doesnt prove your point though...just picking random data points doesnt mean you are right. We also voted for Gay Marriage in a statewide referendum.

                                Yes districts are red but the Governor is elected by total votes and the Metro is too big of a hurdle right now. Since Coleman is the very successful mayor of one of the Twin Cities (and Minneapolis aint going red) the odds are against you getting your Scott Walker wet dream. But that is an argument for another day and thread
