They are gone until after the holiday.

The "immediately repeal" ain't happening. The moderates won't have it.

Turn the cameras and the mics on, but never walk out. Their job is to record what happens, even when told not to. (Took journalism classes back when Ohio State still had a J School)

get any money for providing the insurance - other than premiums from individual - do they? But those covered won't get any tax credits. And, no mandate anymore. Imagine insurance companies would eventually drop the plans if they lose participants.

the room - that GOP hated Obamacare for two reasons: (1) taxes on rich and (2) In their core, they don't want to help less fortunate.

They NEVER wanted to give people something better. Think about it - we are talking about a segment of society who can't afford healthcare. When have they ever been cheerleaders for that segment?

That was the scam, huh. It was Conald who made the claims that he was SO smart HE could do better - what he thought people wanted to hear. And GOP played along because that was their cover. They couldn't come out and say - Repeal - so we don't have to pay taxes ! Repeal - because we don't give a shit about those people !
