Welcome to The World's Most Dangerous Beauty Salon, Inc.
My name is Susan DuQuesnay Bankston. I live in Richmond, Texas, in the heart of Tom DeLay's old district. It's nuttier than squirrel poop here.
I am honored and privileged to know Miss Juanita Jean Herownself, hairdresser extraordinary and political maven. Since she does not have time to fiddle with this internet stuff, I type her website for her and you can read it if you want to. If you don't, she truly does not give a big bear's butt.
A lot of what I post here has to do with local politics, but you probably have the same folks in your local government.
This ain't a blog. Blogs are way too trendy for me. This is a professional political organization.
US Healthcare (USH)
It’s for USH! All for USH
That’s it. Otherwise I’ve got nuttin.
1Universal Medicare
2National Health Service
American Health Service
Medical Security
Medisurance
Medisecurity
I could probably think of a few more, but I kinda like Medicare. No reason it couldn’t work for all of us.
3perhaps it’s not a “catchy” moniker, but it’s the name everyone has been calling it since the concept first came about. much like the ACA is popularly known as Obama Care, and many people think they are two different things, if you start calling it something else, you’ll simply confuse them.
remember, the world is full of stupid people.
4Actual Healthcare, NOT Insurance.
5Sanity.
6American Freedom Health Care!
Words Wingnuts love, they will vote for it.
7I think “Medicare for All” is a great name! People know Medicare, they know it works, and they love it. So why shouldn’t we ALL have it? No need to look for a different name.
8“No! It’s not socialized medicine!”
9OverRepublicansDeadBodies HealthCare.
When the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.
10Trumpcare. Yeah, makes me wanna puke too, but he’d take the “win” over Obama, and we’d all get healthcare.
11I bet you’re right, Wyatt_Earl.
12I think Medical Security is probably the best. Or we could take a page from the repugnantcan bill naming playbook and call it the opposite of what it is. Free Market Care. The doofusses will like it because that’s about the extent of their consideration. While the informed (liberals) will know the truth. And snicker a lot.
13Call it Trumpcare. Donald loves anything with his name attached to it, so he’d be all in.
14AmeriCare. America Cares for it’s people.
But to run around the Republicans – nickname it Trumpcare. Cheeto loves putting his name on the hard work of others.
15@Wyatt_Earl: Great minds, etc., etc.
16The Best Little Healthcare Plan In The US
17Wyatt_Earl and TexasTrailerParkTrash may be half joking but I think Trump would actually go for it, with or without his name attached to it, though that would help a lot. It would be a ‘win’ – a bigly one – and would probably be considered as significant as Social Security.
If it seems unlikely, remember Nixon brought us the EPA.
Trump cares more about adulation that any loyalty to the Rethugs, or to anyone.
18Americare.
19Hey, my family in Canada is on the National Health Care Plan. The Nationalist in this country would love that!
20JRC.
21Joining the Rest of Civilization.
How ’bout Americare?
22I say we stick with the name: Obamacare. Bamz got it done; that crucial first step leading to universal health care. Let the wing nut heads explode every time they visit a doctor.
23Going with “AmeriCare” . . . because Americans care. Go K go.
24+1 for Americare … because America Cares!
25I like the sound of Americare too, does say it all right?
26There’s already a private company called Americare, but I like it. Or USCare.
27Totally off topic, but I had to share this with y’all.
What happens when Harvet meets Le Miz.

28At the risk of shameless pandering, call it Christian Care. All the evangelicals will line up, the snake oil preachers will not miss a beat to fall into line with their upturned palms outstretched, right wing-nuts will be slavering over the potential of a new pack to lead and Mike Pence and the snake handling brigade will wash us all in the blood of the lamb. Who would dare vote against it? Certainly not Ted Cruz or any of his crowd. And, at the end of the story, it is what Jesus advocated in the parable of the Good Samaritan.
29With nods to James Pirtle and all who weighed in, ChristCare. For all the above reasons.
30Lunargent: Thanks for that link. Seriously. I think. Our pile wasn’t nearly that big, so we were lucky. Everybody else on our street had piles that were closer to that. Just without the musical number.
31Ted Care for the late Senator and because it would drive Cruz up the wall!
32I think ChristianCare is a bad idea. It conjures up images of no abortions, no birth control, probably no Advanced Directives allowed, and a ton of victim blaming.
33Lunargent: Fair point. And sorry.
34There’s already a United Healthcare, which is a shame because they yammer on about how we should shed our own opinions and unite behind theirs.
35I don’t think we should name single payer anything that sounds like an insurance company name. We know how heartless and greedy the insurance companies are.
36How about the United States Heartless and Greedy Insurance Co of the United States? (From my friends at the Bureau of Governmental Redundancy Bureau.)
37To offer a modest defense; I would suggest that the law should be written along the mentioned guidelines. ie whatever care is medically needed is provided. Politicians, insurance companies or innkeepers should not be allowed to proscribe any medication or dictate any medical procedure. It should be a crime with harsh penalties. Limiting health care for any person because of your superstition should be prohibited.
38Another vote for Americare, although the arguments for (gag, puke, kill-me-now) trumpcare are irrefutable.
39Trump Gold Healthcare. Or TrumpCare Gold.
As others have mentioned he loves anything with his name attached. And he loves all things bright and shiny.
40Trump promised a plan that:
1) Repeals and replaces Obamacare
2) Doesn’t cut Medicare
3) Covers all Americans
This plan fills those promises to a T. Therefore the name must be “TrumpCare.”
41Americare.
42Yes, the arguments for [gag, puke] trumpcare are sound, but I think I’d rather die than use anything with Orange Whore’s name attached.
If the only drawback were Hair Furor’s name attached to it, I’d be ok with it. The irony of it all would have me chucking til I die!
I liked Americare, but I thought some private company had it.
43I’m still thinking!
