This governing stuff is HARD!!! It’s much easier to whine and snivel and obstruct. This is like real WORK!
The sad part, tragic really, is that the GOP goons are upset because it doesn’t go far enough to take away health care from millions of folks.
Pence today:
“Let’s fulfill our Obamacare repeal promise immediately and then take our time and do reform right,"
That was their dream plan. Somehow Trump and Paul Ryan didnt get the memo.
Why is Mike Lee pretending that dumping people off their coverage overnight is a politically viable thing to do? What did Trump promise the gathered insurance CEOs?
“Let’s fulfill our Obamacare repeal promise immediately and then take our time and do reform right,” he said."
In other words, let’s repeal and do nothing.
“Watch while we shuffle the deck chairs before this fucker goes down.”
More of this, please. If we can keep up the chaos in all parts of the government, perhaps we can limp along until 2018, when we can start the change in the right direction.
…and if a few people die , it’s their own fault for being poor.
They should have had a rich daddy and stayed in school
As for the current draft, Lee said: “This is exactly the type of
back-room dealing and rushed process that we criticized Democrats for,
and it is not what we promised the American people.”
I agree this is rushed - in the sense of # days into this Congress and this Presidency. However the GOP has had years to develop plans. And, no, Senator Lee, in 2009-2010 when the ACA was crafted, it wasn’t a fast and rushed effort. Indeed the GOP was not prevented from participating, they boycotted and punted. As for the repeal with no replacement (aka No Healthcare provisions)… been to any town hall meetings lately, Senator?
Pence can’t even come up with his own words. Here are the basically the same words spoken by Paul Ryan to Charlie Rose January 19th:
We have a lizard selling us car insurance on Geico. We have Flo selling us home and auto insurance. Why can’t we have a vibrant, better marketplace like that for health insurance?"
And yes, there is a video embedded in the article:

Hard to drain the swamp, son, when you helped select a bigly yuge swamp builder. You own this mess
This dud was my Governor. Not terribly bright. Only in comparison to Trump does he, at times, appear to have a modicum of “gravitas”. This quote sounds like the Pence I am sadly familiar with. Funnier yet, below someone points out that he isn’t even being original.
It’s ironic that Republicans have a very Darwinian view of life, but don’t believe in evolution.
of course it’s a step int he wrong direction… the unwashed still have some hope of getting medical insurance…
Yes, please do what Sen. Lee advises - repeal the whole thing now, so the public will see the insurance market go into a freefall in time for the 2018 midterms. So please, go ahead.
Not enough profit for insurance companies to suit Mr Lee.
True, the GOP embraces de-evolution.
Here’s the thing, Mr. Pence - repairing an automobile is not the same as repairing a human.
