Politico reported on May 3 that House Democrats want Republicans to pass an Obamacare repeal bill in the House, citing that the vote could be used against Republicans in the 2018 midterm elections. Democrats affirmed this report by chanting hey hey hey goodbye to Republicans after Obamacare repeal marginally passed in the House by a vote of 217 to 213 on May 4. This strategy is terrible for a variety of reasons. First and foremost, it reveals that the Democratic Party is willing to sell out constituents just to receive some attack fodder. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi recently reaffirmed the Democratic establishments overwhelming attitude that Obamacare, which still leaves 28 million people uninsured, is sufficient, because it allows Democrats to attack Republicans for pushing its repeal.
Vice News Correspondent Evan McMorris-Santoro noted that Pelosi told him that single payer health care should be designated as a solution for states to provide on their own and that the political reality is that Congress isnt ready for single payer health care. She claims that she has supported single payer since before McMorris-Santoro was born, a condescending response that bears no weight given shes not willing to support it now. Pelosi has never fought for a single payer health care system. Her response is incredibly tone-deaf, especially given Americans increasing support for single payer health care.

Increasing support for single payer? Did they take that poll in downtown Seattle or something?
Gotta love Nancy. She is so happy to have that tar baby off her hands she is glowing today. (Sorry, I couldn’t help myself.)
Yep.. now,pubbies own it. I don’t think they can get any real solutions in by midterms. And we know if it goes to the Senate it will get stripped down to Obamacare extreme.
NEVER let them get away with calling it “Single Payer” - they mean GOVERNMENT HEALTH CARE
Worse. While the effects of 0bamacare will last years, to our detriment, from this moment on the GOP own them. The Brown Shirt Media will insist.
Like the economic catastrophe caused by the Community Reinvestment Act, all caused by libtards progressives was blamed on Bush. The Rats have perfected this game. Passing disastrous legislation the deleterious effects of which their propaganda arm blames on conservatives.
Democrats WILL push for Single Payer, because they want Single Payer.
They just don’t want to SAY so.
AARP has been running ads non stop trying to scare people over 50 when it comes to Obamacare changes.
Another arm of the media/Rats.....AARP is pushing hard for single payer.
They can’t be honest and admit that that is what they want — and intend. 0bamacare was intended to lead us there.
