She obviously doesn't believe her state will care for these people. Wonder if her gov. is aware of that.
Trump said last year that maybe letting Obamacare totally fall apart was the best way to get rid of it. I don't know how you can in good conscience, keep fining people for not having insurance when there is none to buy, and without a repeal, that and the Obamacare taxes roll on. But with the Republican's in charge, Obamacare will NEVER be repealed.

And the seal between the tank and the bowl also failed, so when I flushed it, a lot of (fresh) water sprayed out on the floor.
So today, I took a previously-purchased one-piece Kohler toilet that I'd been saving for the "new" bathroom, and installed it in the old bathroom. And it works. So I am having a well-earned bottle of Coors.

They're all political weasels and swim in the swamp as deep as any Democrat. Pence tweeted that Graham-Cassidy fulfilled the GOP promise to "Repeal and Replace Obamacare". Funny but all I remember BEFORE Trump won, was multiple full REPEAL bills, all of which were doomed to fail because Obamacare would veto them the instant they hit his desk. Maybe my mind is failing, but I swear I don't think I ever heard the word REPLACE and Obamacare in the same sentence, until the scurrilous scum were finally in a position to actually do something good for the country with both houses and the Presidency!
In the words of the seemingly immortal Hillary Clinton, "What difference, at this point, does it make?"

Idaho,, Montana, Wyoming are the same. But for some reason their sens/reps don't do that. So it's something specific to AK/ME.

Maine is kind of easy to explain -- it is full of Masshole retirees. The native Mainers are an odd, insular bunch (no offense) who mostly work seasonal touristy jobs and smoke a ton of weed. Then there is also an opiate situation going on there.
The only reason it's sort of an R state is because they love guns, hunting, and all kinds of snowbilly things.

I have 2 old 4 gallon toilets from the '70s in my house that I'm ready to replace. It takes fucking forever for the water to refill. The new ones are like magic. First thing I'm going to do is destroy my septic tank by flushing 19 golfballs down each one of them. Because the commercial says I can!

This objection would come from the lib-stung, pre-paralysis mind.
It's a fan's right to burn the gear he bought with the teams logo and demand refunds on his season tickets and choose not to watch another NFL game, too.
This whole idea that you can't be upset at somebody's else use of free speech, and take actions within your own property and prerogative, is not only stupid, but completely non-mutual when the libs don't like conservative speech--and they just don't stick to their property and prerogative.

When Mugabe Care crashes, we get single payer. Which means rationing, which means po' folks will get the short end and rich folks will be going to Mexico or off shore cruise ships to get all the health care they want.
Lots of po' folks gonna die waiting for this kidney or that procedure and the dems will get the death panels they always wanted and no anesthesia for anyone and loooong lines just like the the old Soviet Union.

Great sport. I played for over 15 years, semi-serious.
There's more running action in an 80-minute rugby match than there is in three plus hours of NFL gridiron. Which is why is why Gridiron will never catch on in England and Europe.
Now if you want another fun sport: Gaelic Football.
Aussie Rules is Gaelic Football played with a rugby ball on a cricket pitch.
Gaelic has a round ball. You have to dribble it every third step, so you can't just carry and bull your way forward like in rugby. You can't tackle, but you can "impede" so it's more physical than soccer. You can hand pass, or turn a kick into a pass.
There's a soccer-like goal with uprights, and a goalie. If you beat the goalie into the net, it's three points; over the goalie between the uprights and it's one. This spreads the defense. If you collapse on the goal like in soccer, you give up easy chip shots.
There's no offside rule, which is the bane of soccer. You don't need it because the game moves so fast.

Ugh. This is why the right never gets anywhere. Yeah it's not the greatest bill. But it's a push in the right direction. And next year maybe have another bill that pushes it a bit more. And then in 2019 another bill. And so on.
The left has been doing this shit for 100 years. Their goal has been socialism, but they didn't do it in one bill. They did it in 100 small bills.
But for some reason fro conservatives if one bill doesn't do everything perfectly, fuck it, we won't do it.

Had Rand Paul been on board, they probably could have bribed Murkowski to get her to Yes as well. The fact she hasn't said no yet leads me to believe there is a yes in there with enough incentives for Alaska. But with Rand playing the "if it's not perfect I won't vote for it" game, we''ll never know.

WASHINGTON - An updated version of the Graham-Cassidy health care bill circulating among lobbyists and on Capitol Hill on Sunday night has changed to provide more benefits to Alaska, a move to appeal to Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski, who has been highly skeptical of efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act.
The new version would grandfather Native Alaskans into Medicaid so they wouldn't lose coverage after the expanded Medicaid program is rolled back in 2020.

This is a logical fallacy by which you choose two extreme choices and present them as if they are the only possible choices, then attack one choice as poor as a result.
In real life, there are many choices. You can have actually bad options that do not require you to pick them OR the ideal option.
For example, this bill does almost nothing to help Americans or deal with the ACA. Its a choice, but not a good one. Congress has many other options and choices it could make, but is deciding not to.
So rejecting this bad choice is, shocking though it might seem, not the same as requiring only the ideal choice.

Not really. The mandate is nonexistent right now already. Its not being enforced. The medical device tax is pretty minor on its own. It does almost nothing, and is being called "repeal" by lying sacks of weasel crap who ran for half a decade on how they'd get rid of the thing right away if given a chance.

"The governmentalization of health care is the fastest way to a permanent left-of-center political culture. It redefines the relationship between the citizen and the state in fundamental ways that make limited government all but impossible.
The result is a kind of two-party one-party state; Right-of-center parties will once in a while be in office, but never in power, merely presiding over vast left-wing bureaucracies that cruise on regardless.
Republicans seem to have difficulty grasping this basic dynamic. The Democrats understand that politics is not just about Tuesday evenings every other November, but about everything else, too.
Once the state swells to a certain size, the people available to fill the ever-expanding number of government jobs will be statists-- sometimes hard-core Marxist statists, sometimes social-engineering multiculti statists, sometimes fluffily "compassionate" statists, but always statists.
The short history of the post-war welfare state is that you don't need a president-for-life if you've got a bureaucracy-for-life...government health care is not about health care, it's about government.".......
Our Blob-ocracy has grown to the point to where Gumment is trying to do EVERYTHING. It funds neo-natal units and the Planned Parenthood camps. It sponsors gun buy-backs and sells machine guns to el Chapo. It funds arms control and gives nukes to Iran.

the patient is at home, (hopefully) surrounded by friends and loved ones, which is better for them mentally.
treatment is focused on pain management and quality of life. there are usually social/mental healthcare w*rkers available to help everyone involved, and to navigate the inevitable red tape.
it should also be covered under insurance, if you have it. if not, it will likely be money well spent, considering the alternative, and certainly cheaper than being in a hospital.

The "right" never advances anything because they (at least those backstabbing traitors who like to portray themselves as being on the right) never even try. THey just don't like the idea of hurting the feelings of the America-hating dems they love to collaborate with.
BarkyCare should have gotten a simple, pure repeal bill. Let these fuckers vote on that. But the Vichy GOP would never even try to do anything like that ... because they are treasonous shit-weasels.
This BarkyCare bill is no repeal. It's not even anything close to repeal. It's just what the Vichy GOP thinks is enough to shut us up about BarkyCare, but to let BarkyCare continue on and grow.

It depends on the provider. There are many. Explore your options. Choose a large, reputable one, oreferably affiliated with a good local hospital system.
Its a great alternative, especially if you do not want further hospital time. Especially if you want more home time and time with family.

You watch a football game. You know they are professional athletes getting paid to work for the team/business' owner and not doing it for you the fan, but as you watch you forget all that and feel they are doing it for you, when in reality the only people a pro athlete has less respect for than the fans is the sports media monkeys.
Then the actors or musicians or pro athletes start doing something stupid and attention getting in the real world, like political preaching or whatever, and you can no longer watch them without thinking about their stupid bullshit.
You can't suspend your belief/disbelief. The spell is broken.
And then you stop giving them your attention, which means money to them, because they are no longer entertaining you.

Thank you Weasel. This is home hospice so he will be cared for in his own home by aides/nurses (with his GP on call) along with a social worker and chaplain. Considering there are no options left for his health care, and his chance of recovery is 0%, I can't see how we can go wrong.
Peaches, I'll email you.
Thank you everyone for the information. It is covered by Medicare so financially, we're good. I honestly can't understand my BIL's objection to it. He keeps saying, "they just want to ride the gravy train" but at this point, his four specialists and the hospitals are doing that, by continuously seeing him/admitting him and giving him no help at all.
It is so much better for him to be at home and comfortable.

Facility hospice care was not an option for me, too cold and isolated. I was very disappointed with the home hospice service as they provided only minimum essential support in my opinion, but at least it was at home. This is where I sort of agree with your BIL.
I did find an independent hospice intensive care service that was a life saver, because I severely underestimated the 24/7 nature and workload of home hospice care. I can't imagine not having an extra pair of hands while doing hospice, and my daughter was here 18-20 hours a day to back me up. I would suggest that you researched such independent hospice providers and have one on speed-dial.

In grad school I briefly dated the daughter of a Berkeley faculty member who had graduated from Berkeley High. She was 19, and I was in my twenties, and she was VASTLY more worldly-wise than I was. She was like a gunnery sergeant. She talked offhandedly about her friends who'd fatally ODed, for example, the way she'd talk about the weather.

There's nothing to be celebrated about a bill that undoes .05% of a totally un-Constitutional, un-American travesty of a criminal piece of legislation. States rights are not something that the feral government gets to vote on and dole out at its whim.

>>They should display the proper respect for our flag and our country. Period. Protest all you want any other time but those two minutes.
The players aren't collectively smart enough to understand this and ownership is too cowardly to stand up to the loud mob.
I'm astonished that they can't see that there is an even larger, quieter group that actually pays their bills that has had enough but here we are. This is going to backfire on them bigly, only a matter of when.

I don't care who said it. It's a false premise. Nobody said the thugs don't have a right to spit on the flag. They have every right to do so. He's framing it as a battle between having rights and not having rights for the thugs, the same framing as the MSM.

The protests were started before Trump commented. Sasse in only commenting to oppose Trump.
His other twit:
"btw, Trump wants you to kneel because it divides the nation, with him and the flag on the same side. Don't give him the attention he wants."
He is simply being anti-Trump and pro-protest. It is all about opposing Trump and his supporters. Ben Sasse is an ass and a perfect example of everything wrong with the Republican party neverTRUMP brigade.

And those are the people that matter because those people are much less dedicated. And those are the people that should be scaring the shit out of NFL owners not to mention the players if they have any brains at all.

Well I didn't take inventory of every single one I saw, but if I had to guess it was pretty much all white dudes in their 20s and 30s.

I wonder how much of that is directly related to gambling, including fantasy. I'm guessing it has to be at least 1/2, maybe more. And those degenerates aren't going to stop being degenerates because of kneeling.

It's L.A.
If the stadium is 1/2 empty in Green Bay or Pittsburg next week then we can celebrate. But 1/2 empty NFL stadiums in LA....meh. It's kind of why both LA teams left 20 years ago remember?

Shit! I remember watching the Chargers play when John Hadl and Dan Fouts were the quarterbacks. You couldn't get into Jack Murphy Stadium back in the day. But then, I also remember watching the Padres play in the PCL before they became a national league team.

Got to go 3 times when visiting a friend from Dallas.
But he's looking to come up where I am because his company has been cutting jobs rapidly.
Otherwise I'd be looking to try to have him help me find a job down there.
