Outstanding. I don't usually endorse sport analogies but this one is appropriate and spot on.

I agree yet here it worked perfectly. I almost wanna scream at Tuberville "Shut up and coach!"

Well-written torching of a medical hypocrite.

As a Kansan, I can’t thank you enough. Marshall is an embarrassment and a source of daily anguish. He is completely unworthy to be called either “Senator” or “Doctor.” He is dangerous to human life.

Dude(ette?) I love the sports analogy in this piece. I love that you are genderless to me!

May we also castigate that rubber band man, bird brain Senator from Fla, representing Alabama, Tommy Tubesteak.

My friend, are you from Kansas? Because virtually no one knows all this stuff unless they're from Kansas. That said, as a long-suffering Blue Kansan, THANK YOU. Marshall has been an embarrassment from day one. I won't even start on Estes or Moran because my blood pressure can't handle it.

Snarky perfection at it’s best! Every article I read I think “it doesn’t get better than this” and then it does. I want to send a framed large-print of this article to Roger. Inspiring.

That would be so cool. Shove it in his face what a hypocrite he is!

So true. Marshall is an idiot. Guess he doesn’t understand that there won’t be any hospitals in western Kansas if the Medicaid cuts go thru or nursing homes either.

As a Kansan and a Jayhawks fan, thank you. Roger Marshall is an embarrassment to the US Senate and the great State of Kansas. Hopefully, the voters of Kansas will permanently retire Dr. Marshall in 2026.

Ironically, I'm watching Tommy Tubberville on MSNBC spit the same BS out in the open. "Look over there, while we try to shove this crap through". It will reduce the # of Americans with health insurance by 11 million and by 16 million if you add that the Rethugs refuse to expand tax credits for private health insurance in open markets. They mock a socialist mayoral candotate in NY, while their fascist Project 2025 gets slipped into our government behind closed doors.

That was a powerful piece of writing full of appropriate outrage. I’m not even a sports fan but that was brilliant!
