Exactly - now the milstone will be hung around the GOP's neck. Serves them right and I hope they disappear to open way for a new party. THE GOP CAMPAIGNED ON REPEAL - WHEN DID REPLACE OR REPAIR ENTER THE EQUATION? REPEAL THE DAMN THING AS PROMISED. THE INSURANCE INDUSTRY WILL STEP INTO THE VOID OVER NIGHT.

In 2012, while Republican House members vowed to repeal Obamacare, the GOP (e) nominated the architect of Obamacare, Mitt Romney for President. Tea party voters were fractured in their support: libertarians coalesced behind Congressman Ron Paul, social conservatives behind Senator Rick Santorum, and national defense hawks behind Newt Gingrich. The 2012 election resulted in President Obama's re-election but narrowed the Seante Democratic majority to two votes. Republicans reiterated that they need a Senate majority to repeal Obamacare. In 2014, Republicans campaigned on repealing Obamacare, Voters delivered another wave election giving the Republicans a 10 Senator majority. Their efforts in 2015, to repeal Obamcare failed. Republicans claimed they needed to control the Oval Office to repeal Obamacare.I dont need to rehash last year's election other than to say that President Trump, Speaker Ryan, and Majority Leader McConnell all campaigned on a swift repeal of Obamacare. Voters were asked to look past the President's moral transgressions and vote for ABC (Anyone but Clinton). Voters selected ABC for President and returned Republicans to House and Senate majorities based on the promise that Obamcare would be repealed within the first month.

Excellent post. I am sharing with friends.

“McConnell’s staff isn’t writing the Senate bill by themselves; they’re writing it in concert with insurance insiders and the Washington K-Street health insurance lobby. This is how Mitch McConnell works, likely why he’s worth roughly $20 million, and why he refuses to upset applecarts of the genuine heavy hitters.
