In graduate school going for their doctorate but not having done anything until the last month of their schooling.

Throw together a thesis in a weekend, and then present it on Monday.

This Republican attempt to overhaul the ACA before Dec 31st is an embarrassment, it’s an affront to the American public, and it’s simply a way to run out the clock until January 1st when premiums are going to skyrocket, people will just not have insurance and urgent care and ER’s will be inundated.

Get rid of the Insurance companies. Shut off the for-profit health insurance fraud scheme. Institute Medicare for EVERYONE. Deduct a miniscule tax on all incomes, eliminate copays, premiums and stop with the ‘in-network and out-of-network’ nonsense. All doctors, all healthcare providers, all hospitals are acceptable places to get the care you need.

We are the only civilized country on the globe that doesn’t have Universal care for all it’s citizens. And it’s disgusting. It’s inhumane.
