Maybe we can get a republican in there now
In summary created Chip was against ACA
Good bye and good riddens
They should have term limits
Good riddance
Forty one years to long.
Good riddance. He so partisan, it's sickening. Let people with reason sit in senate. senorrinhatch
Good riddance
And America still doesn’t have a stable good National Universal Healthcare system, medicareforall. As such, good riddance and your replacement might think of doing something better.
I've listened to his crap for 42 years. Self aggrandizing thief. Glad to see him go. 25 years too late. This was done by the utes in hatch's first year in the senate.
Finally!
The Drug industry is gonna miss their golden boy.
Gotta be kidding. Look up evil and find his picture.
OrrinHatch spent 42 years collecting a govt check but leaves with no respect or understanding of govt employees and the actual role of govt. it’s hard to take someone serious that has spent 20+ years collecting a govt check talking shit about govt the whole time
Hallelujah!
He’s done a lot and accomplished little.
Bye leech. 42 years. Another perfect example of the need for term limits in the Senate.
I hope this is a trend with a retirement of ChuckGrassley soon to follow.
The Thomas and Kavanaugh hearings overshadow
OrrinHatch The ability to be in congress for 42 years shows part of the problem with US government. As you said he was pharma's man in congress. How can anyone who's been inside government for that long have any idea what regular people face?
Good riddance.
Thank God. He willingly follows the nastiest potus ever, ever single time. He’s no better than trump
42 years and a Republican’s most crowning achievement is CHIP, made with a Democrat, bipartisanship at its best. Now he believes in taking healthcare away from millions, he should not be celebrated he should be extinct. 42 years living off the backs of Americans- sickening
42 years too long
Don’t forget your glasses!
Don't give him any credit.
Any and all legislative bodies are better off when the likes of Orrin Hatch are nowhere to be seen. Glad to see him go.
Why have you become so bad at this NPR?
So glad Obama care is virtually a thing of the past. $667/mo $10,000deductible, ridiculous. Just a scam for government to get rich. How in Gods name is that going to help me. But under Trump I now pay $146/month, $2500deductible and have $20copay. Obama/Dictator
Sorry npr but his trump boot licking has been a disgrace. THAT is his legacy- nothing more.
Since we still don’t have healthcare for all, I’d say he made sure of that.
Finally, good riddance.
Hope he chokes on his magic underwear.
But ended his long reign on a misogynistic note. His comments during the Kavanaugh hearing showed little personal growth as a human being.
Another evil human about to retire to so much more then he deserves! What he actually deserves is square and concrete with three hots and a cot.
eternal life is available thru Jesus roll the dice
23 trillion in debt thanks
He leaves mostly as a political hack who puts party over country, never afraid to say rude and hateful things to show how out of touch he really is.
GOOD RIDDANCE
Off you go.
Good riddance to a thoroughly corrupt career politician.
AnExtinctDinosaur
You gotta be kidding me!
No one should ever be allowed to serve in Congress that long. Not ever. One 6-yr term for senators, three 2-yr terms for reps. Period. No more entrenchment. No more salaries for life. No more corporate campaign funding. No more grift.
good riddance
Term limits!
Bye OrrinHatch sen_orrinhatch! Be sure to dress lightly for the 9th level of Hell you’re going to...
More proof of NPR's balance - this piece pisses off both sides.
Keep in mind he ran promising term limits , another fail
I have no admiration for this man... None
Bye bye dipshit!
Bye.
Good riddance
No worries. I'm sure he'll be right back as a lobbyist for some huge pharmaceutical company toute suite.
Nice ratio
Ah yes, Anything that doesn't toe the line with the liberal view of the world, especially on health care, is 'controversial' in the eyes of the partisan NPR. Perhaps he just has a different point of view. Hard to swallow in such a hyper-partisan world I guess...
I don't equate the word achievement with Hatch. You are merely being kind to the old fool. Glad he is gone. Complicit is more descriptive. He was a total conman for trump. Not a good way to go out. Really despise this man.
American health care is not something one should be bragging about. 42 years? Major fail.
Three (among many) reasons that Hatch’s legacy is tainted: Anita Hill, Brett Kavanaugh, and Donald Trump.
DO let the door hit you in the ass, and knock you flat!
Senators Orrin Hatch and Trent Lott did more damage to Civil Rights in this country than anyone else in history.
Please don’t try to make a racists something they are not
Don’t let the door hit you on the way out OrrinHatch . Your legacy will be your complicity in the destruction of your democracy and putting your worthless party over our country.
good example of a cowardly headline.
See ya in hell OrrinHatch !
Nothing but an old hypocrite!
Good riddance. Old and withered we should have booted him out.
Don't lionize a toad
So he votes for CHIP, which subsidizes children's healthcare with federal money and then turns around and calls legislators who supported the ACA among the 'stupidest, dumb-ass people'. How is this controversial and not hypocritical?
Once again covering for the GOP.
Good riddance
The man was a crook liar and was one that killed the middle class said he grew up poor but forgot about people no soul he will burn in hell.
Looking forward to his obituary
Good riddance...... FactsMatter
I was shocked to hear his ignorant, insulting comment about supporters of The Affordable Care Act. Thank you for helping to put his legacy into perspective.
More _ _ than anything else.
😂
And sadly he was replaced by Mitt Romney who will be another Jeff Flake with an axe to grind.
He’s just a little mixed up these days.
Just another Trump-enabler. Glad he's retiring.
ComplicitGOP with a tarnished legacy. Good riddance OrrinHatch
Bye Felicia.
Good riddance.
Good
