Or is there a deal that is remotely palatable enough for enough democrats to vote for?

4. "remotely palatable enough" - I call BS

Is it "remotely palatable" to you to see people dying from loss of health care? Because that is what this means. There will be no "later vote", and there certainly will not be 60 votes. The time to save healthcare is NOW. Schumer is such a disappointment. And so is anyone who supports this.

Here is part of it:

"A proposal by GOP senators to send money directly to consumers’ health accounts rather than to insurance companies showed signs of breaking a stalemate on negotiations"

"pitch alternative"? The answer should be "HELL NO".

We are going to be so screwed. Losing jobs to AI, losing SNAP, losing healthcare. Great.

Is he someone important?

Was he privileged to take part in some private Senate meetings? This guy posts a video on Utube saying Schumer is caving and we take his word for it?

13. I just called about 1 hour ago and the mailbox was NOT full...that's bad!

When people are upset they call their reps and if there are too many messages the mailbox is "full". I've called every US senator several times over the tRump years and when mailboxes have space to leave more messages that is a bad thing. Pleeeeeeease call Schumer now!!! You will be able to leave a message with your opinion. Do it!!!!!
