GOP health care bill is deadly

Now, based on health care and open and transparent governance, there’s another reason for no Republicans in Congress.

The monstrous hypocrisy of smarmy, smirking turtle Mitch McConnell, is beyond the pale. This same senator and his craven cohorts from the GOP railed daily against President Barack Obama and the Democrats who crafted the ACA less than a decade ago, for their supposed lack of transparency. Remember, it was Montana’s own Senator Max Baucus who ultimately was unable to provide a public option in Obamacare, which would have brought us to universal health care along with the rest of the civilized world, and negated this whole farcical scenario playing out in the Senate today. It would be funny if it wasn’t so deadly. The Republican bill will literally kill people.

The Republican Party is the only conservative political party in the world that still denies climate change. Do members think their children won’t have to breathe air or drink water? Do they think no one in their families will ever have a baby born with spinal bifida or an extra chromosome? When will concern for other creatures arise? Where’s awareness and compassion for grizzlies, osprey, tigers, wolves, coral reefs, sharks, bumble bees, trees, frogs, plankton? Perhaps prairie dogs?
