This woman confronted Ted Cruz about his continued efforts to take away her Obamacare. Then she asked him to make a commitment to take a DNA test to prove that he’s human. It’s a legitimate ask. On Tuesday night, a Texas woman uploaded a great video to YouTube of her conversation with Republican Senator Ted […]

“I thought everybody else knew what the hell they were talking about, but apparently not.” Now that the Republicans’ latest attempt to repeal Obamacare is dead, at least one of them is finally ready to confess. Lindsey Graham, the lead author of their most recent failed bill, Graham-Cassidy, admitted on Tuesday that he had no […]

“This guy, Bill Cassidy, just lied right to my face.” Back on the first of May on his ABC late-night talk show, Jimmy Kimmel gave a rare emotional, serious monologue. The comedian opened up about a health crisis with his newborn son. And it was absolutely heart wrenching. Choking back tears, Kimmel said, “We were […]

Trump and the Republicans are lying about Obamacare being dead. As of Thursday, there will be at least one Obamacare insurer in every county in the U.S. Obamacare never was a perfect law. It needs fixes, no question. But it is far from the disaster the Republicans have been describing. And it is far from […]

If Republicans get their way in Missouri, landlords and employers will be able to legally discriminate against women who’ve had abortions or use birth control. Yes, really. Missouri Senate Republicans are working on passing a bill that could be devastating for women. Senate Bill 5 would allow employers and landlords to discriminate against women based […]

If you were wondering whether or not Obama would weigh in on the Republicans’ new Senate healthcare bill, wonder no more. He did. And he had a LOT to say. On Thursday, Senate Republicans finally released their new healthcare bill. Now we can understand why the bill has been such a big secret. It’s horrible. […]

Donald Trump just signed a resolution overturning an Obama rule protecting women’s health care. States will now have the power to withhold Title X family planning funds from Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers. Republicans have been beating the “defund Planned Parenthood” drum for a long time now. I honestly don’t think that most of them […]

Donald Trump and the Republicans are determined to repeal Obamacare. But what they don’t seem to realize….or care about…is that repealing the law will directly affect EVERYONE. That includes all of the Republicans who are pushing for the repeal. Let’s start with the obvious. Obamacare is not perfect. It’s far from it. And there is […]

It’s easy to point out that Donald Trump is dangerous and ill-equipped to be President. But the truth is, for many Progressives, there need to be more concrete reasons to vote FOR Hillary. Well, it turns out there are several…. Unfortunately this election has been primarily about personalities and gaffes rather than substance and policy. […]

The insurance company Aetna announced on Monday that it will be pulling out of 11 of the 15 states where it offers Obamacare policies. They say they’re pulling out because they’ve lost $430 Million. But I’m not so sure that is the whole story. As the Huffington Post reported, Aetna’s CEO, Mark Bertolini, sent a letter […]
