Senator Bill Cassidy Says Bill Stands Up To Jimmy Kimmel Test | Morning Joe | MSNBC

Why didn't they ask him about lifetime caps? These interviewers are useless! When he accused the Democrats of wanting to control people's lives, that was a perfect time for them to bring up abortion.

Why not wait for CBO and have hearing?

[jasonsills]

It's funny how every time the GOP point out how expensive some Americans' health coverage is, they prove the point that single payer is the best option for all.

I have had 4 major operation here in Sweden between 2006-2013. Do you know how much i paid for it? 0$, we even get paid by the goverment when we are sick and can not work. I work only 50%, becuse i cant work more then that, but i get paid almost like a person that would work 100% becuse i get money from the goverment for the other 50%.. Its tough becuse i want to work, but get so tierd after my 50% that i must sleep afterwards.. Without all help from the goverment and our health care i would never had made it.. If i had lived in USA i would probably had died when i was 16years old becuse we would never had afford it..

Shame on Cassidy & Graham, et al! Jerks.

"No one likes change even if it is from worst to better" WTF is he talking about that makes no sense.

[chrisellis]

What a liar he sits there and lies to your face to put money back in the pockets of the rich !!!
and he double talks so much that even he doesn't remember his lies!

[johndavidwolf]

When asked about whether a family with preexisting conditions would not have to pay more he did NOT say YES, but instead went to a convoluted explanation that confused and sidestepped the question.

[ME-olgk]

It obviously doesn't stand up to the Jimmy Kimmel test as per Jimmy Kimmel

[absolutless]

If this was a real news program, they would just say "No, you're lying."

[thechad]

LOL, a republican who is trying to bring healthcare to the poor? That's a total oxymoron.

[vickybarnes]

This is a deceptive person no doubt about it!

[robertovillarreal]

I have a very depressing theory on many of the Republicans major policy stances. It's all about power and minimizing the rapidly growing non-white Democratic voter rolls. Obviously, the people that are worst affected and will die are the poor and working class Democrats. The poor are also most who enlist in the military and more likely will die. Limiting immigration needs no explanation.No college tuition, head start, and affirmative action, all hold back the betterment and upward mobility of the poor, thus keeping them ignorant and uninvolved in the political process. There was a war to free slaves, there was a fight for womens voting rights, civil rights, and the list goes on. If we are such a compassionate country, why is there always a struggle to have true equality?

[thomaszurschmeide]

this guy is the worst liar I've ever seen

[ShepherdMD]

Remove corporate money from my government, and keep privatization/capitalism out of places where corners cannot afford to be cut.

[johndavidwolf]

The "per capita cap" contradicts the statement that the baby could receive ALL the treatments that he needs.

[Mrs.Weddington]

Who wants to go from better to worse?? Gtfoh Sen. Cassidy!

[coreybowen]

Wow this guy just lies right through his teeth with no problem.

[ob-la-diob-la-da]

Great job in questioning Cassidy! I'm glad Joe wasn't there to interrupt the discussion afterwards.

[johndavidwolf]

Is the un named person who pays $45, 000 a Millionaire, Billionaire?
