"SNIP.............

Senator Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said that a bill “focused on buttressing the nation’s insurance marketplaces will be needed if the full-fledged Republican effort to repeal much of President Barack Obama’s health care law fails,” the AP reports.

“It was one of his most explicit acknowledgments that his party’s top-priority drive to erase much of Obama’s landmark 2010 statutes might fall short.”

Said McConnell: “No action is not an alternative. We’ve got the insurance markets imploding all over the country, including in this state.”

1. You mean just reverse what Rubio did? BTW, that Rubio bill was ordered by you I bet.

Hey Mitch, why do you HATE me and most Americans?

2. He is talking about fixing Obamacare...stabilizing the markets. That should be a good thing.

3. I know, by reversing the poison pill HE and Rubio forced on us with

the major change to ACA defunding the risk corridors, are you familiar?

4. Mitch is getting more

exposure with each passing day. Mitch is one shallow Turd of a man.

5. His actions will literally kill thousands of Kentuckians, who will vote for him even after

he sets in motion that which will kill them.

6. If you had followed this Guy,

he and his Spouse are in this for the money and power. Never a thought of their Constituents.

7. First bi-partisan cooperation, and now support for public healthcare?????

Shouldn't faux nooze and all of 45's voters string him up for these blasphemies???

If the gop doesn't stand for erasing everything OBama did, then Obama wins, and satan wins, and the terrorists win.....

But not fRump. He doesn't win. No winning. sigh.

8. I fear in both cases he was just shaking down and threatening the

Freedom Caucus with threats of liberal policies.

9. He's realizing that cutting off the healthcare of constituents is

bad politics. They can't pass the Republican disaster of a healthcare bill, but they damned sure have to do something to make sure they don't piss off their constituents by cutting off their healthcare.

The Turtle is in a world of hurt right now, and has no idea what to do. I love that.

10. Makes me happy that he's lost. effing bastard.
