Well congratulations to Representative Eastman for achieving a new low! 

We have turned the insurance industry and the credit bureaus into gods, and they are not benevolent. Worst of all, they don't do what is right on-top of screwing-up. Look at the hacking involved with the bureaus? Nice of them to make our identities available to the other bastards besides them.

Republican shills for the insurance industry are the ONLY reason we do not have a public option. To some of the commenters, don't blame it on the people who CALL themselves Democrats. One party, one whole party wants to solve this problem and help poor people. The other party wants everyone to work regardless of their circumstance. They want those who do work to have to accept whatever crap insurance the glorious job-creators offer. As Rep. Grayson said on the floor in 2009: "If you get sick, America, the Republican health care plan is this: Die quickly. That's right. The Republicans want you to die quickly if you get sick."

Andrew Van Dam is brilliant for pinning this down and getting it published. This article should go to every kid turning 18, every person with low wages or no wages, and on everyone's social media in those red counties.

Thanks Thom, and thanks Democratic Party for trying to save lives.
