The Great Partisan Divide [View all]

[kentuck]

Republicans Lindsey Graham and Bill Cassidy are leading an effort to repeal large parts of the ACA. Of course, they never call it the Affordable Care Act, they call it "Obamacare", as if that somehow changes its value to citizens in need of healthcare.

The political impact of their actions will lead to partisan divisions unlike any we have seen in our lifetimes. They are already clinging to bi-partisanship by the thinnest of threads. Very little can get done with bi-partisanship anymore.

But, this act by Graham and Cassidy and the Republicans will cut that final thread of bi-partisanship. It will be all-out political war.
