    Patty Murray and Lamar Alexander did. That doesn't mean the House passes it or Rand Paul and Mike Lee don't throw a hissy fit.

      Passing the Senate is possible, if unlikely. 48+ half a dozen Repubs could be done.Getting the House to even vote is a pipe dream.

          This is what Republicans do to States that work with Obamacare to make their states better.

          If Congress doesn’t act, MinnesotaCare could lose an estimated $742 million in federal funding over the next four years.

            The way around this is to jam it into the next govt shutdown/debt ceiling hike as a condition of Dem support. Goopers don't have enough votes to pass either on their own and Chump will just make it look like he's willing to make a deal with anyone to get things done, all the while hanging Itch and Weasel Paul Ryan out to dry.

              Should make for a fun talking point...especially when the GOP tries to get tax reform done.

                  He cuts the CSR's through executive order. Asks Congress to fix it. They come up with a bipartisan deal and............

                  WASHINGTON (AP) — A bipartisan Senate deal to curb the growth of health insurance premiums is reeling after President Donald Trump reversed course and opposed the agreement, and top congressional Republicans and conservatives gave it a frosty reception.
                  http://www.sunjournal.com/news/natio...e-deal/2219356

                  And Democrats are the obstructionists?

                  In an evening speech at the conservative Heritage Foundation, he said that "while I commend" the work by the two senators, "I continue to believe Congress must find a solution to the Obamacare mess instead of providing bailouts to insurance companies."
                  "This agreement avoids chaos," Alexander said. "I don't know a Republican or Democrat who benefits from chaos."
                  Good luck, Mr. Alexander. The POTUS loves chaos. He thrives on it. He'll get reelected on it.

Find a historical analysis of top-earning individual effective rates, and the graph will look much different, much more consistent. They're still paying less now, as a rate, than prior, but it's not such a drastic change.
                    Not only that, but evidently this person thinks income tax is the only way the government gets money. How did the country survive for ~125 years prior to 1913?

                      Oh look, Obama makes an executive order, a court declares it unconstitutional, Obama gets a stay pending appeal, Trump rescinds said unconstitutional order, states freak out and sue. https://www.infowars.com/dems-sue-tr...ecutive-order/

                        Seems like as a country, we need to convince Republicans that liberals will really hate it if they all ate a lot of sugar, and smoked a lot. Let Coke and Winston sponsor the next convention.

                        Combine that with the plan for healthcare that's the best that dump can come up with, and we can get rid of a lot of republican voters very naturally.

                          No social security. No public welfare. No big corporate farms providing a consistent supply of food. No public schooling beyond about 8th grade. No interstate highway system. No air/seaports. Greatly reduced interstate and international commerce. No real healthcare - illnesses and deaths were largely viewed as "God's will". A military that got by on state militias and the hunting rifles of soldiers. In short - a poorer, dumber, more rural population, that tended to die much younger. OK for 1817, not so great in 2017.

                          But yeah, what have taxes ever done for society?
