Improve ACA, don’t abolish it!   Better yet, let’s go to a single-payer system.  We can afford it!  LET’S MAKE AMERICA GREATER!   To dismantle healthcare to provide greater wealth-care is SINFULLY IGNORANT!   This proposed healthcare legislation, poorly constructed, written in secret, leaving women out of the process, has produced a “mean” bill, that is vehemently opposed by AMA, doctors, hospitals, patient advocates, governors of both parties, and the majority of Americans!  The CBO numbers are BAD!  Women make the majority of healthcare decisions in this country, for themselves, their children, and their elderly parents.  DJT talks about a healthcare plan with “lower premiums, much lower costs and better protections”, which shows how little understanding he has about Plan A or Plan B; he is NOW promoting Plan C: Repeal and Delay; he wants to “let Obamacare fail”!   Quit lying about ACA!    The entire GOP “blueprint was based largely on falsehoods and broken promises!”

The question as posed suggests that the latest bombshell news was simply ordinary opposition research on an opponent — that anyone would take; nothing could be further from the truth!   The email Donny Jr received clearly stated that a “Russian government attorney” would meet with them  “to provide the Trump campaign — very high level and sensitive information ….but is part of Russia and its government’s support for Mr. Trump”.   No American citizen can legally accept any election contributions, money or anything of value from a foreign national; that is strongly prohibited!  Plenty of evidence will be forthcoming to demonstrate how the Trumpino Crime Family has acquired most of its wealth and mob connections through the decades.  They have ALL been compromised by Russian organized crime figures, spies, money-laundering, tax evasion, and now have stooped to Treason against our country!  Colluding to rig our 2016 election  … should be a hanging offense!    They are ALL guilty as sin!                 And poor Fredo, the inept, beguiled, loser son of the once-powerful Godfather was outed for conspiring with those who would cause the family’s eventual demise!

I am all for the Illinois legislature overriding Gov. Ruiner’s vetoes of their hard-fought, bipartisan efforts to hammer out a budget package — to end this long, drawn-out stalemate — to finally get Illinois back on track to fiscal responsibility.  The state needs to pay its bills, the schools need funded and to open timely, road construction needs to continue; a tax increase is needed to pay our bills!  “We need to protect our critical state services and the citizens of Illinois who rely on them.  This budget is balanced”, said Republican Senator, Dale Righter of Mattoon.     I have said from the beginning of this impasse that the Governor should never have attached his “reform want list” to a budget; each of his wished for “structural changes”, his “business-friendly reforms” should have been referendums on the ballot for Illinois citizens to vote on, not holding our state hostage to his union-busting strategies!
