Just heard McConnell on the tv, saying that now he wants to vote for a straight up repeal of the ACA (Obama-Care).
He states that there would be a two year implementation process, so that there can be "a smooth transition." I'm going to round the numbers down. Almost from the vote on the ACA, the GOP has been stating that as soon as they could manage it there would be "repeal and replace." They have had over 5 years to come up with an alternative and now they would have us believe that they can get it done in another two years. Really?
Why in the world would the Senate leadership think that they will get the necessary votes to repeal, when they cannot come to agreement on the bill presented by the House and partied over in the Rose Garden?
