The time is now, right now for the Dems to put a new name on the ACA. Start calling it Trump care! He is the one along with the GOP who are in control now. Obama and the Democrats have none. Any problems with the ACA are squarely at their front door!
One can't just take credit for victories but must also the loses.

Here we go again
The 'Pubbies, led by McConnell are up to their old tricks regarding the ACA. The newest shit bill in the Senate is the Graham/Cassidy bill. It's worse that the so called 'skinny bill' that was shot down by McCain.

Jen Rubin at the Post nails it.

The CBO will not have enough time to analyze the impact of this bill since it needs to be voted on before Sept. 30th and this gives cover to some of the fence sitters in the Senate.

Republicans never were ones to do their dirty work out in the open. But then most of their work is dirty.

Senate Republicans admitted defeat Monday in their latest attempt to undo the Affordable Care Act, as a third GOP senator announced her opposition to the measure.

If I see another god fearing hypocrite clutching a King James bible in one hand while bleating their support for people like Cassidy, Graham, Johnson and Heller, it'll be too soon.

We're now having to rely on folks like McCain and Collins while the other Senators, Rand 'Aqua budda' Paul and that sneering POS from Texas, Ted Cruz thinks this bill isn't cruel enough. If fact, the whole Tea Party wing of the GOP thinks that older worker bees like you and me should just crawl off into the weeds and die once our usefulness is over.
I know one thing, I'll be dragging my old sorry arthritic ass all over my neighborhood begging my neighbors to retire Dana Rohrabacher and giving a few bucks to retire Darryl Issa and Kevin McCarthy next summer. The battle for the House of Representatives is here in California and these TrumPutin supporters have got to go.
(off soapbox) *grin*

Shameless pandering is one thing but bribery to try and get the votes of Senators Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski was simply detestable.
