Forced insurance

I want the entire GOP membership of the U.S. Senate to know I am totally disgusted with the way they are ramming through their version of the ACA repeal-and-replace bill.

No women; behind closed doors; no one knows what is in it; no hearings, debates, or chances for amendments. Just write it, get Vice President Pence in to break a tie, and pass it before anyone can evaluate it.

Are we being run by pirates? Have the Russians compromised the Senate?

Disgraceful!
