US President-elect Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that he would nominate Georgia Congressman Tom Price as head of the Department of Health and Human Services. The orthopedic surgeon is a critic of the Affordable Care Act, more commonly referred to as “Obamacare.”

This week was my last cycle in a long, painful treatment for cancer using chemotherapy. Medicare saved my life-- no ifs, ands or buts about it. Medicare has been better insurance than the platinum standard insurance Warner Bros gave me as the president of one of their divisions-- not "as good"-- BETTER. Medicare-- other than Part D, the Republican Party prescription drug plan that is oriented towards their Big Pharma campaign donors, not towards patients like the rest of Medicare-- is a wondrous and blessed thing, something every American should be proud of and willing to fight for.

Remember South Carolina crackpot Joe Wilson, the right-wing freak who screamed out "You lie!" at President Obama when he gave the State of the Union address in 2009 and was then formally admonished by the House? So far, according to ProgressivePunch, he has the most extreme right wing voting record of anyone from South Carolina for the 2013-'14 session. His crucial vote score is a shocking 2.80 (out of 100).
