Senator Dean Heller is a Lying to Nevada

Senator Dean Heller is lying to Nevada.

I broke down Senator Heller’s statements and tell you how he is lying.


Heller: “Obamacare clearly isn’t the answer – but doing nothing isn’t the answer either.”

Truth: Obamacare was the answer for tens of millions of Americans who needed protections in the way of preventing insurance companies from discriminating against pre-existing conditions, being a woman and expensive treatment. Senator Heller voted on a motion to proceed on a bill that he has not yet seen and the ones he has seen provide no positive answers for anyone in America. By voting for the motion to proceed, Heller is allowing a bill to repeal Obamacare without a replacement, literally not doing anything for Americans needing healthcare, i.e., all of us.

Heller: “Families have expressed unbearable struggles with the massive increases in premiums and a total loss of options for healthcare under Obamacare. Next year, Nevadans living in 14 of our 17 counties will have no insurer at all to choose from purchasing insurance on the individual market will face an average premium increase of 38 percent.”

Truth: Premiums have grown at a smaller rate in Nevada under Obamacare than they did before Obamacare. While counties in Nevada have in fact lost their only insurer on the individual market, it is due to the Trump administration creating uncertainty by threatening Obamacare stability and threatening to withhold CSR’s (Cost Sharing Reductions offered to insurers who offer plans to low income individuals). The 38% increase in premiums is also directly due to the Trump administration’s threats to destabilize the markets if Congress doesn’t repeal Obamacare.

The Republicans Health Care Vote: The butchers Bill

Glioblastoma multiforme is considered a rare cancer. It affects only about 3 people in 100,000. And yes, that sounds pretty rare. Thank goodness.

However, according the the CBO, the various versions of the GOP healthcare bill will take healthcare away from 22 to 32 million Americans. With numbers like that, even a rare disease runs up quite a tally. Somewhere between 600 and 1,000 Americans will be without the insurance it takes to fight that rare cancer. Of course, they might be able to fund it out of their own pockets. After all, the cost of treating a brain tumor is only around $700,000. Some of those people might also be lucky enough to wander into an ER where a non-specialist is sharp enough to diagnose what’s wrong with them and take some action. Some of that action might even be in time.

So it’s not fair to say that every one of those 600 to 1000 people is going to die because of the vote made today by the Republicans. Just most of them.

March of Dimes saved McConnell's Life. Now he won't meet with them

On the heels of this disgusting vote to rip insurance away from millions of Americans in favor of a nine-digit giveaway to rich, I thought I’d point out just how despicable the architect of this whole effort is.

Let me take you back to time when people expected competence from their government. FDR was a great man who did a lot great things.

One thing he couldn’t do, however, was health care:

Jaw dropping animation shows size and frequency of fracking related earthquakes

One of the primary directives of the USGS (United States Geological Survey) is to “monitor and report earthquakes, assess earthquake impacts and hazards, and research the causes and effects of earthquakes.”

The Oklahoma USGS has been very busy over the last 12 years as Oklahoma has seen a drastic increase in earthquakes, earthquakes that have been directly caused by wastewater disposal, a result of the fracking process used to extract oil. The number of earthquakes has skyrocketed so dramatically that Oklahoma is now the most seismically active state in the U.S.

Jason Chaffetz is spending his post-Congress life attacking poor people on Instagram

Source: Think Progress

During an appearance on CNN in March, then-Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) infamously suggested that under Trumpcare, Americans will face some tough choices — like buying an iPhone or making sure they can see a doctor.

“Americans have choices, and they’ve gotta make a choice,” Chaffetz said. “And so maybe rather than getting that new iPhone that they just love and they want to go spend hundreds of dollars on that, maybe they should invest in their own health care. They’ve gotta make those decisions themselves.”

Trumps former campaign manager has just been subpoenaed

Source: Think Progress

The day after White House adviser Jared Kushner testified before the Senate Intelligence Committee, another Trump campaign official who attended the June 9, 2016 meeting between Trump campaign officials and a Russian lawyer who promised to provide them with incriminating information about Hillary Clinton has been subpoenaed to testify before Congress..

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Ranking Member Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif) issued the subpoena after the committee was unable to reach an agreement regarding Manafort’s “accommodation.” Manafort was only willing to provide a single transcribed interview to Congress, which would not be made available to the Judiciary Committee.
