A picture speaks a thousand

Nothing like a bunch of men sitting around talking about stripping things like maternity benefits for women out of the healthcare bill. Luckily by some of the comments in the article, women are not the only ones upset by this.

This morning I managed to catch a few minutes of the news on the health care vote (I had not yet seen this picture). It struck me how all these congress people milling about the halls, etc., were all men in suits. On the rare occasion I caught a glimpse of a woman, they seemed to be either with journalists or perhaps waitresses/cleaning/serving people.

I think many younger women have assumed that their rights are locked in, yet the US never did ratify the Equal Rights Amendment--remember the ERA? Actually Nevada just ratified it the other day. I am not sure if it counts as it is way past any deadline.

So they are looking at defunding Planned Parenthood and not covering maternity care. They constantly attack Roe vs Wade. Does anyone not see the catastrophic disaster on the horizon for women's rights?

Many of us see it - Resist Trump

but apparently not enough of us to keep this con man and his entourage out of office. Saddest time in American history.

I never thought I would - Nn

be rooting for treason, but I am. So there's hope to get at least the head liar removed. This is by the THE WORST WH imaginable.

See post above - Resist Trump

Yet the Trumpeters still think they are going to get better health care with the WH backed bill. What are they seeing that I don't see? Why do they still believe a man who said repeatedly there would be health care for all with better coverage and lower premiums?

I wish I knew. It's truly unreal. - sm

But what I have learned, at least on this board, is never to expect an answer to any question. At dinner when the evening news is on, we sit at the table and just shake our heads. What more can we do? It's gotten to the point where my husband just calls him every name but president and we end up shutting the news off. Why bother listening when it's all a bunch of lies anyway.

Can't repeat here - Resist Trump

what I call him every time I see him on the TV. Don't know if you have ever seen the classic Japanese film Rashomon but it tells the same story from 3 different points of view and it is amazing how different they are. I will never, ever understand how his supporters can look at him and listen to him and see and hear what they do.

Why don't you tell the whole story? - The true story?

[ In Reply To ..]
Yes, it is unbelievable the stuff the left LSM is feeding it's followers these days. And they continue to lap it up as if it's gospel.

So please supply - sm

the "whole" story, the "true" story. What is it then? Please provide link to the whole true story. And please with the left believing stuff when the rights put a lying lunatic in office. PLEASE.

Stop watching and listening to fake news. - sm

Then you'll get the whole story and the true story.

I don't - sm

I don't watch trump tv i.e. anything he doesn't like equals fake. I watch real news and what she posted was accurate. Please post your "true" story. Btw was London attack fake since I saw it on the same news?

2 different topics - apples to oranges

[ In Reply To ..]
You cannot compare the two and yes, you are watching fake news.

And you don't get to - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
Choose what's fake and what isn't. But this is what a lying conman does. He brainwashed so many. He did a GREAT job at that. Post a "true" link then like I asked before.

Neither do you, and you just proved my point - Listening to the fake news

So I'll ask again - sm

Post a true news story countering the original post. You literally have said nothing other than sounding like a broken record. If you can't prove your point, just like trump can't prove any of his whacked out comments, you have no credibility. So I'll continue watching the real news while you continue living in trumpland.

First off.... - Proud deplorable

We don't actually know that they are the team working on the healthcare bill.

Second, we don't actually know what they are talking about. It's a picture. Maybe if there was sound and we could "hear" the discussions we would have the knowledge to know what it is they are talking about. They could be talking about war, finance, foreign policy, etc. etc.

Next, who is sitting on the other side of the table. We are only getting a partial view. Yes, it could be all men, but they could have women too. The problem is we don't know because the leftists are trying to portray it the way they want.

My other half here is watching what is going on and he's telling me things. I don't like that they are making jokes and laughing. This is not a laughing matter.

As for whether a man or woman decides what goes in the bill, I don't care. The representative from my state is a woman and I'm sure men don't want her telling them they have to pay for abortions and birth control, just like some women don't want men telling them what they have to pay for. That's kind of silly to say not fair because men are deciding what goes in and not. You cannot make everyone happy, but there should be a compromise.

There are plenty of men who are concerned with woman's health concerns. But you didn't mention men's health concerns. Theirs are as important as ours.

Lastly, there are plenty of women in discussion that the leftists "unknowingly" (or willingly) left out. What about Barbara Mikulsi, Patty Murray, Kay Hagan, Lisa Murkowski. Those are just a few. Am sure there are more.

I'm certainly not for the plan Ryan was trying to push, and we all know democrats have done nothing to benefit us. This needs to be fixed (without all the laughter and joking around from the ones making decisions). It needs to be fixed. Nobody should care whether democrats or republicans propose a bill. Cancer has no political party, heart disease, diabetes, surgeries, medications, they all do not have political affiliations. A bill should be passed to help us. I don't care who fixes it, it needs to be fixed. Nobody should be taking credit and blaming the other side. If it's good for the people it should be passed.

Why should I pay for your maternity care? Your abortion? - Your care?

You all are amusing at best. Remember the days when we paid for insurance we received? But that is not even the outrage. The outrage is Obamacare is a tax. If you want a socialistic country, move. Try Canada. There you will wait for a year for an MRI scan. You have to see a doctor whom you may find does not meet your expectations. No second opinions. Immediate care comes when you reach your death bed. Then you pay 20% of your income on govt healthcare, can stand on the porch and scream. Unless you are getting better care than me, I do not see how you could want care in the USA. The new doctors give an example of what their end goal is - Make money.

Keep drinking the OKoolaid! - TMT
