Remember last year when the GOP house passed a repeal bill?

What changed, except there was a real chance that they might have to live with the consequences of their votes?

It's like the people who voted for the repeal last year but changed their votes today were just playing politics, rather than voting on the merits of the legislation before them.

Reports and constituents should ask - why yes then and no now?

Haven't got a response yet.

I just can't understand why an income based premium (payroll and investment income) plan where everyone is in the pool together is too hard a concept. Our system is so wildly inefficient in so many ways.
