4. Not only did they get next to nothing for their agreement

they also have given the GOP and Trump the all important "bipartisan agreement" cover that the David Brooks and Steve Inskeep "keep it civil" crowd can insert into the discussion each time a new travesty comes to light, and as people start to die in real time.

I do look forward to the day, likely next year, when a person from Philadelphia or York or Harrisburg whose treatment for depression, or whose PT after a stroke, has been ended because of the demise of the ACA, can ask Senator Fetterman to chip in to help them pay for help, maybe in a Town Hall setting live on CNN. As Senator Fetterman continues to get taxpayer funded medical care to help him with both afflictions -- the aftermath of stroke and depression -- it only seems fair.

It is a hell of a note, I must say, that we are at the point where we are told people must starve now, or best case, we can feed them for another year, but a lot of them will have no health care starting in January, BUT, you guys have to sign on for that best case to kick in.
