[nfb-talk] Trumpcare

[Jack Heim]

The last time the New York Times was right of Marx was every single day 
of it's entire existance.

Do you have any reason to imply that the New York Times is biased other 
than your own bias? This is really the problem in the United States 
today. Far too many people are unwilling to listen to a perfectly good 
source for news, like the New York Times, merely because of their own 
biases. Seriously, the New York Times is one of the greatest newspapers 
in the history of the world. Can you name a better one?

What kind of people could look at a bill that takes health care away from 20+ million people and decide that their main problem with it is that it requires insurance companies to accept people with pre-existing conditions?

Various versions of the Republican health care bills have taken coverage away from 20 million to 24 million people. With their darwinistic view of the world, they think that's a good thing. The issue here really is whether we as a country are better off making sure people get health care or not. But you can't make this a stronger nation by taking health care away from 20+ million people.
