are likely to create a situation with no insurance and try to leverage DEMs into accepting a shitty plan that delivers less for higher costs. And sell it as bipartisan.

Like a lap dog is what I am unfortunately expecting.

Then, like the good folks we are, they will 'compromise' with the devil and ultimately give the pukes a way to 'save some face.'
