Debate rages in the GOP over ObamaCare repeal

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

A debate is raging in the Republican Party over the future of ObamaCare, with some urging the party to take another shot at repeal in 2018.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), whose majority will fall to a single seat in January, has signaled he intends to move on from legislation repealing the Affordable Care Act and instead look for bills that can pass with bipartisan support.

"Well, we obviously were unable to completely repeal and replace with a 52-48 Senate," McConnell told NPR. "We'll have to take a look at what that looks like with a 51-49 Senate. But I think we'll probably move on to other issues."

That answer isn’t sitting well with some conservatives, who say the party shouldn’t turn its back on a long-standing campaign pledge.
Repealing ObamaCare is “absolutely necessary for the conservative base,” said Dan Holler, a spokesman for Heritage Action.

As congressional Republicans decide what major legislation to tackle next year, it “needs to be ObamaCare,” Holler said.

Heading into a midterm election year, Republican leaders are eager to leave behind the turmoil of the ObamaCare repeal push — a failed effort that wasted months of valuable time — and turn to issues like welfare reform.

That people have to die because of other peoples hate.

4. "What things can we do to kill poor people the fastest?" Conservative argument ensues

[Eliot Rosewater]

5. And destroy Obama legacy. But kill some of the poor they will, you can count on that.

6. Americans finally realized that "Obamacare"is the ACA

and they do not want to lose it. The GOP is dumber than I thought (and that says a lot) if they peruse this before the midterms. Tax cuts benefiting the rich AND repealing the ACA will give Dems more votes! It is up to us to remind everyone in every way imaginable that this is what the GOP agenda is and what they stand for up until Election Day in Nov. GOTV!
