Such a conundrum - stand with your constituents, the people who pay you and whom you are supposed to serve or stand with the idiot in chief who cares for no one and nothing but himself.
Real profiles in courage there, 'pubs.
āThis is kind of all new territory for us, weāre getting our sea legs under us.ā
Yeah, you and Trump. You fools had SEVEN YEARS to get your legs ready. Wimps.
Wouldnāt it be great if McConnell and Ryan could be replaced by centrist Republicans with the help Democrats
His responses betray his profound ignorance of how the ACA and insurance risk pools work or what the subsidies or the reasons for the individual mandates do and are for.
Still dazed from the spectacular collapse of their efforts to repeal Obamacare, Republicans are now confronted with the question of whether theyāll seek to help Americans in states where insurers are pulling out of the individual marketplaces and premiums are rising without trying to gut the program.
Simple. Allow people in countries without an exchange insurer to sign up for Medicaid. Problem solved.
Itās the equivalent of a grad student telling his professor he didnāt finish his research paper (but still needs an A) because heās new at this āstudent thing.ā In this case, the stakes are higher. . . .

āwe have to try to reach out and figure out where we can make health care better,ā Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) told TPM Friday. āThis is kind of all new territory for usā¦ā

Another victim of the āeverything I donāt like is unconstitutionalā meme.
lāve pointed that out to my Rep - ;they couldnāt come up with a plan because they already had - it was called the ACA.
Guess it fell prey to the one-drop ruleā¦
What are those? Do you mean purple state democrats?
āI havenāt really thought about this very much,ā Rep. Tom Cole (R-OK) told TPM Friday"
Nice to know. 1/6 the US economy, peopleās health and very lives at stakeā¦What do you think about, Senator?
They never have a Plan B
Itās as simple as that. Fix the problems, expand coverage, name it something sufficiently hateful enough for the base and call it a day. PP will sign anything as long as heās told it will somehow be an affront to Obama.
Goddamn it! Sam Sheppard is dead.
Fuck
āWeāve got to do something. The repeal effortās dead so I think the next logical thing is we have to try to reach out and figure out where we can make health care better,ā Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) told TPM Friday, just hours after the Senate failed to pass a placeholder bill to keep Obamacare repeal efforts moving. āThis is kind of all new territory for us, weāre getting our sea legs under us.ā
