strictly on the "repeal" (no replace) the ACA single issue. They were Koch-funded astroturf.

He is enjoying retirement and glad he doesn't have to deal with the Tea Party/Freedom Caucus anymore. No one wanted his job when he left and finally Ryan accepted...just as bad in my opinion.

At least 100 million, give or take a couple mill.
This includes the disabled elderly, the extraneous poor, the "mentally incompetent" and those who "just don't belong". To the Freedom Caucus, anyone who isn't "Working Hard" (i.e., at or above median income), Christian, and can "Contribute" to the Freedom Caucus version of the Real America doesn't belong and is frankly disposable.
Sounds very - 1930-ish, if you know what I mean.

To the Freedom Caucus, there should be no competition for the resources they feel belong to "the Real Americans" that their putrid "historians" sprinkle fairy dust over with faux Norman Rockwell sappiness.
Even though after sitting with most of those a-holes for an hour, Norman Rockwell himself would probably have carved the eyeballs out of most of them with a #4 pallet knife before going back to his latest cute "multi-cultural kids at a soda parlor counter sharing ice cream" painting for the Saturday Evening Post.
