You’re reading correctly.
However that wasn’t my main point.
That mess has now been passed, the GOP needs to double-down for real.
This is it.
You could find (even if reluctant) plenty of people who wanted the GOP to stand for something, but the GOP didn’t.
So Obamacare won out.
That’s ok with me. But now the GOP needs to negotiate hard.
I’m series.
Now take no prisoners.
You keep saying the GOP never gave any alternatives to Obamacare, and that simply isn’t true. Go back and read the transcripts of Paul Ryan and others at the health care summit sideshow that Obama put on. They offered a variety of things to add to the bill, and all were rebuffed.
