Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) on Wednesday morning clarified that he never outright opposed the Senate bill to repeal Obamacare and gave a more positive assessment of the legislation than he has offered previously.
I never said I was no on this bill. I was very hard no in terms of taking a vote this week, Johnson said on MSNBCs Morning Joe. That was absurd because we didnt have the information, and now were starting to get some information.
Johnson said on Monday night that he would vote to block the Senate bill from proceeding if leaders pushed for a vote this week. He also penned an op-ed in the New York Times on Monday arguing that the Senate bill does not adequately address the issues he sees with Obamacare. Senate GOP leaders have since delayed a vote on the bill until July.

This a quote from this idiot:
First of all I did not agree with leadership when they immediately said were going to do this on a purely partisan basis. We should have focused on the damage done by Obamacare, the skyrocketing premiums, Johnson said, adding later that its not like Democrats are stepping up to the plate.
Hey Johnson, lets get something straight, ever since 1964 and earlier, the Democratic party has been looking at how to get human beings on Medicaid and health care, if you think that we haven't stepped up to the plate, here if you read anything or something about what we did, what has your party done in comparison.....................and in other words Johnson, if you can be bribed by your illustrious 'leader" in your conference to screw people you will do it, it just depends on how you want the bribe money
