Republicans Eye Quick Obamacare Repeal If Party Wins White House

[ProudToBeLiberal]

Republicans in Congress are exploring a way to enact a repeal of Obamacare and other parts of their agenda soon after a new Republican president takes the oath of office in 2017.

Several Republicans said they’re discussing the possibility of adopting a budget this year that would let the next president’s agenda -- including top goals like repealing Obamacare -- bypass a Democratic filibuster at the very start of the year. Republicans used a similar move early this year to send a bill repealing much of Obamacare and defunding Planned Parenthood to President Barack Obama, who vetoed it.

The strategy would allow Republicans who control the House and Senate to put just such a bill on the desk of a new president if their party wins the White House, without having to grind through months of budget process. To succeed, Republicans need the Senate parliamentarian to let them use rules set by a budget resolution into the next Congress.

“It could be pretty powerful if it works,” said John Cornyn of Texas, the second-ranking Senate Republican. “We haven’t yet concluded one way or the other.”

The nerve of these Republicans. They already attempted to repeal Obamacare 62 times! We must elect a Democrat in November to protect the Affordable Care Act. As Martin Luther King Jr. said "We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now."

1. Does everyone remember what the George W Bush administration did to our justice department

and every single area of our government when they took power?

In the justice department they fired the qualified people and purposely hired newly graduated religious lawyers who knew nothing.

It is my opinion that as bad as that bunch was, the next bunch is exponentially worse.

2. Currently the inability to repeal Obamacare is Obama is president.

He just vetoed their latest effort.

3. I think this is why Obama is a bit hesitant when it comes to Bernie Sanders.

Sanders has said that he wants to replace Obamacare. A President doesn't want to hear someone from his own party say they want to repeal and replace his biggest accomplishment.
