…and we’ll see what happens in 2018.
Representative Vicky Hartzler (r) again tweets something, something absent any context:
Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
For too long, Obamacare has caused high premiums and dismal coverage. It’s hurting Americans all over! We need to #RepealAndReplace!

12:03 PM – 14 Mar 2017
Some of the response, catching on to her scam:
@RepHartzler *yawn* Y’all don’t know enough about insurance to create a replacement. Seven years and all you came up with was hot garbage.
@RepHartzler you’re done! Enjoy civilian life, the good folks of Cass County will show you the door over this “Party before People” move
@RepHartzler Did my premiums go up because of Obamacare? Or because the insurance and medical industries are out for money???
That would be a rhetorical question, right?
@RepHartzler Under Trumpcare, they’re scheduled to rise by $14,600. Try Medicare for all. #singlepayer
Definitely not preaching to the choir.
@RepHartzler The blood of thousands will be on your hands if you do. No #RepealAndRig.
@RepHartzler @SpeakerRyan So your solution is no healthcare, like it was before.
By the way, I don’t want to pay for YOUR insurance anymore
@RepHartzler @SpeakerRyan lie after lie to make up for your absolute lack of understanding what health care is and does.
@RepHartzler under your plan a Senior making 24,000 will pay 14,000 in premiums. under ACA, 1,400 in premiums. Pretty simple.
Actual math is not a consideration for some.
@RepHartzler @SpeakerRyan Yes let’s cut coverage for 24M people and use the savings for tax credits for the rich. #Trumpcare
Not that anyone should be surprised by that.
@RepHartzler @SpeakerRyan alt facts. The coverage is much better by definition. Plus millions more have it. Deplorable
@RepHartzler @SpeakerRyan By all means lets do this by giving tax cuts to wealthy & cut services to ederly who have payed taxes through out.
@RepHartzler @SpeakerRyan its like Republicans have amnesia about like before ACA, costs were already skyrocketing. #dontbeduped
Well, yeah.
@RepHartzler @SpeakerRyan Repeating that doesn’t make it true. The truth? Tax break for richest 1% and 24M lose insurance.
@RepHartzler @SpeakerRyan Obamacare did not cause insurance companies to raid premiums. Sheer greed did that.#TrumpCareDeathCare
@RepHartzler @SpeakerRyan This is actually 100% not true. Also, stop calling it Obamacare. It’s the ACA, and it saved my dad’s life.
.@RepHartzler Explain to me how AHCA improves coverage and lowers premiums?
Surely you jest?
@RepHartzler @SpeakerRyan at this point the repeal & replace lock steppers sound like blah blah blah #scaryman needs a new tactic
@RepHartzler 1) Could we replace you with a Republican chatbot? You seem to have no original ideas, just carbon copy R talking points.
@RepHartzler 2) It’s also possible the chatbot will have the stones to do a town hall meeting. #voterepublicanchatbot2018
An open public town hall meeting in the district happening at some point? The probability is zero, like never.
Previously:
Rep. Vicky Hartzler (r): just checking (February 20, 2017)
Rep. Vicky Hartzler (r): Well, you asked. (February 21, 2017)
You think Sen. Claire McCaskill (D) has been smiling a lot this week? (February 23, 2017)
Rep. Vicky Hartzler (r): just a slight indication of what an open public town hall in the district would be like (February 26, 2017)
Rep. Vicky Hartzler (r): before that Russian thing happened today (March 2, 2017)
Rep. Vicky Hartzler (r): get used to it (March 8, 2017)
Rep. Vicky Hartzler (r): owning Trumpcare (March 10, 2017)
Trumpcare is a fraud, in that it’s not even what they want to do to reform healthcare (such as selling insurance across state lines, which wouldn’t actually do much besides start a regulatory race to the bottom, but they seem to like it a lot), but instead just the things that they can pass with 51 votes in the senate under reconciliation.
So it makes sense that it’s an awful, awful bill that mostly cuts taxes for the wealthy.
Agreed. These people are such hypocrites. They stand there and spew such blatant falsehoods about Obamacare, then spew more blatant falsehoods about their new plan. And it is all untrue. Yet they get away with it. They have gotten away with it until now, anyway. I am sick and tired of these people having majorities here in Missouri and in Washington. Vicky Hartzler was my rep for years. Now it’s Billy Long. And Roy Blunt had an op-ed in the KC Star that was a travesty. And now Trump’s budget is out. Why must we throw everyone to the wolves? Why can we not look out for our neighbors? Why must we scorch the earth? I know it’s about money, but rural voters get none of it. Why do they support it? They’re going to get skewered by the new plan, and their hospitals are going to close. They’ll.have no Medicaid, lousy schools and unwanted grandchildren to raise. They’ll gave nice Christmas displays at the county seat and at the public schools, though, so there is that. Seems worthwhile.
