went into effect so did the usefulness of Medicare. Yes, prices have gone down also. They managed to work the good things in ACA into Medicare and there is no reason for them to leave those things in Medicare while they destroy ACA and Medicade. I am assuming I will be losing my Medicare, SSDI, EBT, and low income housing. As far as the incoming office is concerned it is all the same so it all needs to go.

This wasn't Sanders' amendment. It was Klobuchar's. RedWedge Jan 2017 #10

Jointly purposed by Sanders and Klobuchar. ciaobaby Jan 2017 #12

Klobuchar is the sponsor. baldguy Jan 2017 #21

Seriously..... ciaobaby Jan 2017 #22

I don't hate Sanders. I just don't think he should claim credit for somthing he didn't start. baldguy Jan 2017 #23

Maybe you should see how Klobuchar feels about his co-sponsorship. ciaobaby Jan 2017 #25

Yes, but a co-sponsor of a bill or amendment is not the sponsor. The title of your OP is a lie. baldguy Jan 2017 #28

Again, do you feel as strongly about the dems that killed the bill. ciaobaby Jan 2017 #32

Put the capital back in "Dems". It's a proper noun. baldguy Jan 2017 #34

Yeah, why is Amy's name being left off when she is the actual Cha Jan 2017 #42

Because it's a way to undemine Democrats' influance. baldguy Jan 2017 #45

Sure you do. truebluegreen Jan 2017 #26

Some of that "dictatorial, authoritarian" from the Dem leadership that Sanders campaigned against baldguy Jan 2017 #29

Depends, doesn't it? truebluegreen Jan 2017 #35

Do you believe that a united Democratic caucus would have voted against it with the Republicans? baldguy Jan 2017 #36

What are you talking about? truebluegreen Jan 2017 #37

Have you read any of this thread at all? baldguy Jan 2017 #38

Are you just trying to deflect? I was talking to you. truebluegreen Jan 2017 #39

It's not my job to read posts for you & explain them to you. baldguy Jan 2017 #41

Still ducking I see (don't you just hate it truebluegreen Jan 2017 #43

So, Democrats & the Democratic Party are "indefensible", now? baldguy Jan 2017 #46
