where he invites some people whose lives have been saved by the ACA, and people with chronic conditions who could not get insurance before but now can. In wielding his veto pen this will be a golden opportunity to make the GOP look like the heartless bastards that they are.

(15,438 posts)get the message out to those a-political Americans who don't follow politics as closely as we do. Invite everyday Americans who have been literally saved by ObamaCare, and who would've otherwise faced dire health issues had they not gotten insurance. WE know this to be true, but most Americans are not as aware, and these optics would strengthen ObamaCare.

Last thing I heard was that the GOP had forged an intra-party agreement on what process they would use to eventually develop an Obamacare-replacement.
They are this close to presenting a replacement!
This close!
