Republicans already jittery about quick Obamacare repeal
CNN News ^ | January 4, 2017 | MJ Lee

Republicans are just getting started on their years-long dream of repealing Obamacare, and already, there are fears that things are moving too fast.

Some Republicans are cautioning against repealing the Affordable Care Act too quickly and urging the party take the foot off the accelerator. The reason: there's no plan on how to replace what they roll back. And while GOP lawmakers are eager to please their base with headlines of Obamacare's repeal, they don't want to be blamed for leaving people without health insurance and chaos in the healthcare market.

You could report on virtually any day that Republicans are weak-kneed about SOMETHING, and be right.

Fake News. They are also trying to create a controversy with Trump's meeting with the intelligence services (about the Russian hacking accusations)

Didn’t they have their own plan on Obama’s desk last session and he refused to sign it? That’s what we were told. Of course, this is CNN and they lie all the time.

The people that love Obamacare, aka “It’s free for me” care, will never and have never voted republican. The rest of us are the wons [sic] who have put republicans in charge of everything.

Is that supposed to be HARD?

I’m curious: What do the insurance companies think about an immediate repeal. It’s the business they are in. How would they handle the problem?

Have we heard a peep from them?

Ha! Yeah, I always lump those two together.

I find it funny that whenever NPR says something about “even some republicans are for/against...”, they always trot out one of those two. :-)

I’ve communicated twice with my rep, Ann Whatzername, that unless it’s gone by March 1 there will be no Republican majority by 2018.

Think back. They had an HOR majority and could've refused to fund this monstrosity. Instead the argument we got is "we want to use it as a campaign issue and after the next election defund it". It never happened. Those sickos in the HOR would rather have the campaign issue than a solution. They don't give a damn about us little folk.

Well, we gave them DJT. And he does not seem to be playing their nation-destroying games.
