A new report (www.cbo.gov/latest) from the CBO estimates that more than 20 million people will lose coverage under the Graham-Cassidy bill. That's less than previous Republican efforts, but does it really send our country in the right direction?

View PostsI didn't fight for this country to have NFL players with millions of dollars disrespect it like this. This country, which I fought for, has given them everything. If they can't even stand for the anthem, they need to get off the field.
Players kneeling for the national anthem isn't disrespectful. Kneeling has traditionally been a sign of reverence. If anything, you could argue it show more respect than almost anything else!
I'm sick of paying for everyone else's care. If I lose my job tomorrow, no one is going to help me back up. Why does everyone else get a free pass?
