That way the 24 million that lose coverage will stop whining after a few months and by a year the media will forget it ever existed, Now we just get them to never use the word Obama or speak of the years he was president.

“I think once it is repealed you will have, hopefully, fewer people playing politics.”

The powerful echo chamber/Bubble that gave the GOP their Minority Rule government is going to be tested by this. They think that they have more hearts and minds than they do, or that the ones they don’t have won’t fight back. We’ll learn a ton if they try this.

McCarthy said. “I think once it is repealed you will have, hopefully, fewer people playing politics.”

How does the entire media establishment not immediately get on the phone to McCarthy’s office and ask him how he can be so dense when there is a 7 year record of them doing nothing but playing politics with ACA repeal.

You’ve been fighting this for 6 years and 60+ votes, and you still haven’t fucking started to figure out the replacement?

“I think once it is repealed you will have, hopefully, fewer people playing politics.”

See, it’s not “playing politics” to get rid of the ACA; it’s purposefully not “playing politics” so that in the future, fewer people will be “playing politics”. See how that works?

From the NYT today

excerpt:
"WASHINGTON — Yascha Mounk is used to being the most pessimistic person in the room. Mr. Mounk, a lecturer in government at Harvard, has spent the past few years challenging one of the bedrock assumptions of Western politics: that once a country becomes a liberal democracy, it will stay that way.

His research suggests something quite different: that liberal democracies around the world may be at serious risk of decline."

…“The first factor was public support: How important do citizens think it is for their country to remain democratic? The second was public openness to nondemocratic forms of government, such as military rule. And the third factor was whether “antisystem parties and movements” — political parties and other major players whose core message is that the current system is illegitimate — were gaining support.”

What he means by fewer people playing politics is that repealing the ACA will result in people dying. That means less people playing politics.

Health care policy experts warn that any sort of delay between repealing Obamacare and replacing it could jeopardize the entire individual health insurance market and send insurers fleeing the market.

Which is exactly what the fuckers want – they want to go back to the good old days of jam-packed emergency rooms and tens of millions more people without any sort of healthcare insurance coverage at all.
