The GOP candidate Senator wannabe in Nevada Sue Lowden not only thinks chickens can be bartered for health care, but she is also a casino owner in Las Vegas who is a union buster.

With Real HCR Gone, What’s Left (If Anything)? |

The Senate bill may be comprehensive, but it represents everything that voters have been rejecting. If passed, it will ruin Democrats.
Because sellout Democrats have been obstructionists, successfully blocking every decent idea to reform our health care system from the beginning, the piecemeal approach is the only remaining thing to do. Not only will it improve the existing system. It will be seen as taking on the bad actors in the industries that created such big problems in our health care system and so give Democrats an upper hand politically in this election cycle.
