GOPe Putting Lip Stick On A Pig?
If it’s true that the GOPe is planning on keeping the tax mandate and Cadillac tax in their Obamacare replacement plan they can plan on losing whatever conservative base they have left. They all campaigned for repeal, FULL repeal, not a replacement plan. I guess they are what we knew they were, spineless cowards. Hopefully Trump and his team will see through the fiasco.
House Republicans’ new version of the replacement bill is being kept in a “dedicated reading room,” Bloomberg reported, where it will be available to members of the House Energy and Commerce committee ahead of a markup. The move is an effort to prevent leaks.
Senator Rand Paul, one of the precious few voices of fiscal sanity in Washington, is not pleased:
Paul accused House leadership of not wanting to admit to creating a watered down version of ObamaCare, and demanded that they release text of the bill.
Paul later said he’s been told the House Republicans’ draft of the repeal bill is “take it or leave it.”

My thought is the Senator should release the Senate version, and let the House do there thing and then both houses get together and pass the compromise.
Remember the house passed a bill for the ACA and then the Senate stripped it completely and passed it, sent it back to the House for passage. I think we all remember the line “We have to pass it to see what’s in it”
As I’ve commented before on various and sundry other places on the infonet.
Every time I hear the word “replace” after the word “repeal” I want to gouge my eyes out and drive nails into my ears. After repeal the words should be “exterminate” “eliminate” “destroy” etc…
So sayeth the junkie:
Now that I’ve replaced my heroin for meth I feel much better.
