When push comes to shove, it's all about the vote and
the power.

I love it. Schumer blew it with the truth.

Neil Sroka, the communications director for the progressive group Democracy for America, told Fusion that Schumer would be better spent focusing on some of the liberal wing’s priorities — breaking up big banks and student-loan reform — rather than attacking a “successful” piece of legislation.

“Any Democrat who thinks that tackling growing healthcare costs — one the largest drivers for the lack of middle class wage growth over the last 15+ years — was the wrong way to earn the support of middle-class, working families needs to have their head examined,” he said.

And, tackle them, they did. The problem is that the tacklers were the insurance lobbiests who wrote the law, and the result is that they tackled the people the democrats purported to be trying to help. Healthcare costs have not gone down, and neither have insurance costs. Thanks, democrats. And, I do agree. Y'all do need that head exam, all of y'all, not just a few.
