    I think Republican Senators and Congress should repeal their healthcare and live on minimum wage for a year. I think that is the only way to impact their cold, cruel hearts is to take away their money. Greenbacks are the only thing they worship. All of that money should be given to healthcare charities and food banks.

    If you make it impossible for people with preexisting conditions to afford healthcare then you need to give yours up as well. You are supposed to serve the people and you are using lies to promote your platform. This is the most shameful Congress of my lifetime.

Live like everybody, pay for your own healthcare, Cut cooperate welfare, make them pay their share of taxes get rid of oil subsidies, make it illegal for any member of congress to be a lobbyist for 10 years after leaving office stop vesting members after one term. Get rid of Citizens United to get influence out of elections.

    We need adults who are accountable for their actions in the whitehouse. Enough already, we are imploding from within. Was that the plan all along? If you clowns can't/wont do the job honorably, move over for someone who will. I don't care what your party is, be a good citizen.

    We petition to have our members of congress and legislators to behave ethically when using tax payers money. They are put there by the citizens and for the citizens. Instead, it has become a disgraceful and unethical process when deciding on policies. Their actions to literally pocket money and take it away from the American people is becoming so blatant and we the people just keep struggling and hoping for change and an opportunity to make a decent living, Educate our kids, get decent and affordable health care, etc. many of us sacrifice every day, pay taxes and get to accept these failed policies. If our government leadership had to live like regular Americans, they would have a better understanding and would seek to benefit the citizens rather than themselves. Any policies that they implement should be equally good for them. They want to take away SS. Is that because they are wealthy and would not be affected by it? We can list a number of initiatives that put the burden on the poor and middle class while they continue to not be affected by any decisions they make. Instead of protecting the people, they protect and secure more and more stability for themselves. Yes repeal ACA and what is in place? nothing. They really don't care. I wonder how many of these guys are benefiting from insurances, pharmaceuticals companies, it goes on and on. There should be an investigation on each of the Congress members and Senators background and dealings to uncover all the special interest relationships they are in. Do your jobs you don't work for yourselves you work for the American people. We need to change the terms for these positions they get too secure in this position and behave irresponsible towards the rest is us. We must be informed and take action to make the changes we want to see!

    How can you sleep at night? You have a huge salary and great health care benefits and yet you take health care away from the poor. Very sad.

    Since they want to repeal the ACA, either WE should be entitled to the SAME HEALTH CARE BENEFITS they have, or THEIR benefits should be cancelled until they come up with an ACCEPTABLE HEALTH CARE plan for ALL OF US!

    Unless there is another acceptable healthcare plan in place, we the people do not want our medical coverage gone. The senate & congress need the same insurance we have. You're asking for big trouble.

    It's time for the congress and senate to get their crap together. Particularly the republicans. It is ridiculous to keep cutting healthcare left and right for the poor while they are all taken care of with our tax money. If they cut healthcare, they should do so with their healthcare as well.

    I am sick to death of this Republican Congress. And of the soon to be President. It is a dirty shame that America has sank so low. They need to leave Health Care, Medicare and Social Security alone.

    Give us the same insurance that you elected officials have. If you repeal ours, then you should give up yours as well! I just can't believe you would do that to us. It's just unbelievable! You will ruin this country and hopefully your chances of ever getting reelected again!

    I demand that my elected officials in the Senate and Congress look elsewhere to make budget cuts, starting with their own paycheck, health insurance and other perks and benefits they receive, instead of targeting the poor, elderly and disabled. If they expect others to go without, it's time they did also!

    Senators and representatives benefits should be the same as their constituents. They should be paid minimum wage for actual hours worked. Women should be paid less than their male counterparts. The American people need top rise up and stand for their rights as provided for in our constitution.
