When Will They Give Up?

Sens. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) floor another disgraceful attempt at repealing Obamacare.

Jimmy Kimmel is going to rip the Republicans. He asked Republicans that if they were going to pass a healthcare law, "have a heart."

Jennifer Rubin of The Washington Post wrote a scathing article detailing Republicans and their broken promise to be transparent when passing bills.

Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) have decided to run another attempt at repealing the Affordable Care Act.

Rubin looked at the bill and read between the lines.

Cassidy’s bill actually goes way further than either the House or Senate health-care bills in overhauling the ACA by essentially lumping its spending on ACA marketplace subsidies and Medicaid into block grants for states to cover people as they wish. …
States would essentially have to create a new health program between now and 2020, when the marketplaces and Medicaid expansion would be disbanded. If they chose, states could abandon the ACA’s regulations on insurers to provide certain “essential benefits” and charge the same premiums to people regardless of their health status. This, too, has been a point of contention among some moderate Republicans.
In 12 days, the Republicans are attempting to pass a budget reconciliation. The fiscal year will end and it will end all their hopes to achieve their stupid campaign promise.

Republicans want to eliminate the cloture rule. They want a simple majority to pass things. They want 51 votes and they believe they have at least 52 members on board.

The seven year promise to repeal and replace Obamacare once again comes into play.

The Republicans in the Senate are extremely inept. They cannot agree on anything. They have the majority in the House, the Senate, state govenorships and the White House.

The Republicans and their obsession with cutting spending to make government smaller isn't working.
