Capitol police drag out wheelchair-bound protesters at O'care repeal hearing

[pdq]

As soon as the hearing began, disability rights advocates, many in wheelchairs, began chanting their opposition to Medicaid cuts, and Capitol Police struggled to remove them from the hearing room.

What a f'in mess.

Cassidy, bill co-sponsor:

“I am so sorry about this process, I would prefer hearings, a markup and Democrat co-sponsors," Cassidy said at the beginning of his testimony in response to Wyden, who had attacked Republicans for their process in his opening remarks.

I'm so sure he would. But, must destroy Obamacare, you know? so all that traditional stuff goes out the window.

Well, if they are in wheelchairs, they should be pretty easy to remove...

Thought the disabled wanted to be treated the same as a led people. Wheelchairs just make it easier.

Protest is a pre-existing condition. Eff 'em.

I have a friend who is down there with the Little Lobbyists. I hope she'll be able to post on FB soon to let us know how she's doing; I don't know if the children were with them today or not.

I see from an earlier post that most of the kids are in school today.
These are some of the people that the Graham-Cassidy bill will negatively impact. My friend's son is not in the photo. Children with complex medical needs should not be condemned to have their families lose their homes, or end up institutionalized, or even die. The bill is BAD.

She doesn't post much now; she has to make 'em count.
