Brooks – Congressman Running For
Sessions Senate Seat – Fund, Build The Wall
by Rick Wells
{rickwells.us} ~ We remember when RINO Senator John McCain tricked many Arizonans into voting for him in the 2010 election, on a promise that he would complete the border fence... In the infamous television commercial that ran at the time, a complicit or completely duped Sheriff Paul Babeu declaring “Senator, you’re one of us.” No Sheriff, RINO-McCain is most definitely not one of us. Now it’s 2017 and history is mimicking itself, but with a much more honorable man making the claim. Although Rep Mo Brooks is a serving Congressman, which could in some ways count as a strike against him, he’s generally regarded as one of the more honest and conservative members. Brooks has the support of Laura Ingraham, Sean Hannity and Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows. They are voices with whom most patriots are in tune. Brooks has some competition for the seat though he is clearly the pro-Trump candidate in the field, having worked closely with Sessions in the past on legislation consistent with Trump values...http://rickwells.us/brooks-congressman-running-sessions-senate-seat-fund-build-wall/

The GOP’s Ongoing Health-Care Confusion
by James C. Capretta
{aei.org} ~ Republican senators Ted Cruz and Mike Lee are pushing for an amendment to the Senate GOP’s Better Care Reconciliation Act (BCRA) that would substantially alter the current landscape of health-insurance regulation... They believe their amendment, which aims to give insurers much more freedom to offer any kind of product they want to customers, would go a long way toward restoring a free market to health care, and would result in lower premiums for millions of consumers. The strong commitment of these senators to this particular amendment, and the insistence on its inclusion in the Senate bill by conservative groups, reveals a broad misunderstanding among conservatives of what is wrong with health care in the United States, and what is needed to build a market-driven system. While the text of the Cruz-Lee proposal is not available, the reasons the senators are pushing it seem clear enough from news stories. They are advocating a new state waiver that would allow insurers offering at least one plan compliant with the requirements of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) to offer any number of other plans that are not compliant... http://www.aei.org/publication/the-gops-ongoing-health-care-confusion/?utm_source=paramount&utm_medium=email&utm_content=AEITODAY&utm_campaign=071017

New evidence triggers reprieve for Charlie Gard
by Joe Wilson
{wnd.com} ~ There is new hope that 11-month-old Charlie Gard, suffering in the U.K. from a rare, life-threatening disease, will be allowed to go abroad to receive new or experimental treatment... The child is under a death sentence from U.K. courts that have ruled his life support must be withdrawn. But a judge on Monday heard evidence from his parents and the hospital where the child is being treated. The hospital, backed by a court, is recommending that Charlie’s life support be halted but is preventing him from being transferred. Great Ormond Street Hospital in London, where Charlie is being treated for a rare genetic mutation of mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome, announced two international hospitals and their researchers “have communicated to us as late as the last 24 hours that they have fresh evidence about their proposed experimental treatment.”... http://www.wnd.com/2017/07/new-evidence-triggers-reprieve-for-charlie-gard/

by Lisa Shaw

Cruz: Free Health Care Is Wonderful in 'World'
of 'Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and Pixie Fairies’
{cnsnews.com} ~ Free government healthcare is a “wonderful” idea in a “world where you believe in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny and pixie fairies,” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said Wednesday.
Addressing a town hall meeting in McKinney, Texas hosted by Concerned Veterans for America, Cruz recalled taking part in a two-hour CNN debate on liar-nObamacare with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) last February.
“And for those who are particularly interested in this issue, I would commend you – you can go and google it,” he said. “Watch the thing for two hours. It was more substance on health care than we had probably the whole presidential race.”
“Bernie’s view,” said Cruz, “he wants free everything for everyone. And you know, that’s – that is a wonderful – in a world where you believe in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny and pixie fairies, you can give free everything to everyone.”
“But in the real world, that doesn’t work,” he continued. “And so what politicians do all the time is they mandate.”
“We’re going to give free stuff to people. We’re going to mandate. You gotta get this. You gotta get that,” he stated.
“The prices rise so high that people can’t afford it,” Cruz added.
