    I assume you mean Indiana and not Idaho. I'm not sure that there are more than 50,000 Dems in that state.

          Some people are on to the fact that the GOP doesn't have a better idea than Obamacare


          The way forward is strengthen and improve, not repeal and replace.

          Step 1, i would look into allowing anyone 55? or older to buy into Medicare rather than get private insurance. Shifting older people out of the private market should help rates in the exchanges. Baby steps towards single payer.

            The ACA took 14 months from Obama taking office to passage.

            You really think the R's could have spun together an actual replacement law in a month? They ran for seven years on straight repeal. The fact that doing so would lead to a Democratic landslide by 2020 and single payer never occurred to anyone except John Boehner after the Court didn't kill the ACA.

              They don't have a plan. Their whole legislative philosophy is destroy the black man's legacy.

                  They didn't need to spin one together in a month. They had 7 farking years, as you yourself say.

                      Right but joe is saying they should have had a replacement ready in a month. They dont want to replace it their whole mantra has been to get rid of it. That is what bronco is saying.

                        Good point.

                        Heard Rand Paul again. He's saying that all the Congressman who voted for straight repeal before it could be become law will answer for their changed votes now. Roy Moore may be indicative of that very thing.

                        He backed up Turtle Boy though saying that he voted for every single repeal bill there was.

                          Another problem in the expectations game was the lamestream media pimping Ryan and McConnell as some sort of legislative geniuses. Might think we were talking Rayburn, O'Neil, or LBJ here. Chump may be an idiot, but even he probably had some sort of expectation that they had their act together a lot more than they actually do.

                            That was the Dems' original plan in 2009. Liebermann and Baucus f-cked them over so they had to settle for ACA.

                              The GOP for at least the last 4 years of BHO talked about repeal and replace. Repeal and replace. OK - where was the replace on 1/21/17?

                              The excuse that the dog ate the bill won't fly. They were unprepared. That is a indictment of a gross failure of leadership.
