And then there were five -- Fifth Republican Jumps Ship On Healthcare Bill. According to this, Senators Dean Heller of Nevada, Mike Lee of Utah, Ted Cruz of Texas, Rand Paul of Kentucky, and Ron Johnson of Wisconsin all say they won't vote for the Republican version of Obamacare as written. If the bill goes down, maybe they will take the heat off the other Republicans.
Failure of the Obamacare repeal effort isn't looking like such a bad thing. If Son of Obamacare passes with no Democrat votes the Republicans will own it.
With the MSM serving as a branch of the Democrat party, if the new law passes, the only news we'll get over the next few years will be about all the people who are suffering from it. Those suffering from Obamacare are currently in the shadows.
But you can bet your bottom dollar that if Republicans succeed in changing or repealing the law it will be presented as the worst thing to happen to people. Democrats are already proclaiming people will die. It will continue until Democrats take over the House, the Senate, the White House, or all three.
So put me in the camp of "leave it alone," and wait until enough people suffer that they will join conservatives in wanting the change.
