Eric Burlison on Obamacare: No amount of patchwork can fix this sinking ship


(From Seventh District Congressman Eric Burlison)

Year over year, the systemic failures of the Affordable Care Act continue to add up. Since its inception, benchmark premiums have more than doubled, provider networks continue to shrink, and “coverage,” the justification upon which the entire government-run system hinges, increasingly means less and less in terms of actual health care for Americans.

Obamacare has failed outright; no amount of patchwork can fix this sinking ship. It’s time for Congress to offer America an alternative.






Auto Data Privacy and Autonomy Act Reintroduced

On Wednesday, I reintroduced the Auto Data Privacy and Autonomy Act to protect Americans from the unchecked collection, sharing, and sale of personal data generated by modern vehicles. As cars become increasingly connected, automakers now collect sensitive information, such as location data and driving behavior, often without clear consent or transparency.

My legislation would restore control to drivers by requiring explicit permission before vehicle data can be accessed or sold, strengthening privacy protections, and safeguarding sensitive information from misuse by corporations or foreign adversaries. Sen. Mike Lee introduced a companion bill in the Senate.

Every single "republican" needs fired immediately for egregious gross negligence in completely failing the country (if 1/6 wasn't enough. One of you maga nut cases will read this and then go off on some ludicrous false history about things that happened during the Civil war and pronouns naming people. Who the hell cares about any of that nonsense? Get a life maybe?

The only people that need good health insurance are the people that need good healthcare.

Just like the only people that need car insurance are the people who might have an accident.

Prove me wrong.

America has a Republican President.

America has a Republican majority in the Senate.

America has a Republican majority in the House.

Why is the ship sinking now Mr Burlison?

Why does it seem that Republicans never have a clue except when busy doing unto others and breaking things?

Is it because you stand by the guy who said this yesterday:

"I took cognitive tests. By the way, not easy. The first question is like what is this and they show a lion, giraffe, fish and a hippopotamus. And they say which is the giraffe."

Yes and Biden said this

During a 2008 campaign rally in Missouri, Biden asked the audience to applaud State Senator Chuck Graham.
"Stand up, Chuck, let 'em see you," Biden said, gesturing for Graham to stand.
Graham, a paraplegic following a car accident, is confined to a wheelchair.

During a 2008 campaign rally, Biden said: "Look, John's last-minute economic plan does nothing to tackle the number one job facing the middle class, and it happens to be, as Barack says, a three-letter word: Jobs. J-O-B-S."

10 September 2023: Biden was rambling mid-sentence in Hanoi when Karine Jean-Pierre, the White House press secretary, intervened and told reporters: “Thank you, everybody, this ends the press conference.” Moments earlier, the president had quipped: “I don’t know about you, but I’m going to go to bed.”

745,746,752 obviously can't come up with anything currently relevant to today's republican made disasters so they re-litigate past history as if it really matters. Most of you conservatives are at a loss for words and definitely ideas over the current republican made sad state of affairs. Release the files. We all know he knew everything.

Republicans elected Donald Trump a second time in 2024.

There is no unringing this bell of stupidity.

Lyndon B. Johnson once said "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."

The Republicans thought about it and decided 'Hell yeah that's the plan!"

When the Government is allowed to setup all these programs using Hardworking Taxpayers Funds - they all have Fraud and Waste in them - SNAP, EBT, OBAMACARE - Which is the Biggest Boondoggle and Failure we have seen in America - It has directly caused Medical Insurance and Medical Costs to go through the roof, while the Taxpayers have to Pay to run another bad governmental program.

So the Democrats Motto - Just forget what we have done and Vote for us again, because we know what we are doing and will save everyone with Governmental Programs - so you all stay on the rolls for life.

Dear PPPP, again you have nothing intellectually important to convey. Same old rendition of ancient history. NOBODY cares about your persistent pontificating cut and paste diatribes of hate and ignorance. Please return to your white supremist compound where you belong with the rest of the deplorable hatemongers.

Wow! Multiple sick, hateful, and very ignorant maga nuts (PPPP) on this thread. They all seem to be stuck in the 1990s, not to mention with something else stuck up their posteriors.

5:56AM, This is from 2025 - Democrats Control - the Majority of Run down and Murder and Criminal Cities - as well as the Cities with the most Homeless. The Democrats have No Plans for the Murders, Criminals, Violence, Hate, and Homeless in their Cities - Other than Give us more Money, Keep Electing Us, and When that doesn't work it is all about Racism - When will Democrats ever deal with the TRUTH AND FACTS - WHEN!!!

Most large U.S. cities with the highest homeless populations are run by Democratic mayors, largely because Democrats hold the mayoral office in a significant majority of the country's largest urban centers.

As of December 2025:
66 out of the 100 largest cities by population are led by Democratic mayors.
None of the top ten largest cities has a Republican mayor.
83% of the top 30 largest cities are governed by Democrats.
Cities with large homeless populations, such as New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Seattle, and Denver, are all led by Democratic mayors.
