Why is McConnell leader? Why is he even a Republican? That party better wake up PDQ.
FUMM!
Just get the hell out of the way you F-ing turtle!
Just because he looks like a turtle doesn’t mean he has to work like one.
We get it, Mitch. A turtle’s pace. Slow and steady...slow and steady...
So slowly and steadily that it may not happen.
Not true.
The worst parts of Obamacare did not take effect until after the 2014 elections (four and a half years after it passed), and some of it doesn't go into effect until 2018.
If Obamacare were repealed with immediate effect, 2/3 of the hospitals in America would close within 90 days.
It is not going to happen that way.
Shut up and do your job, Mitchy!
1. Trump issues EO to no longer enforce the mandate.
2. Obamacare totally collapses in six months.
3. EO away restrictions on insurance companies.
4. We’re back to where we started.
So I guess that Mitch is finally admitting that they never had a plan and were just pretending when they voted to repeal it?
If McConnell was any kind of leader, it could get done quickly. But not only isn’t he a leader, he is the ultimate insider and GOPe who talks but doesn’t want to change things. They said, give us the House and we did, they said give us the Senate too, and we did, they said give us the presidency too, and we did. Now, even with PE Trump pushing, I expect to see the Repub RHINOs in Congress drag their feet
I don’t think Turtle face will know what hit him when Trump hits town...the Senate and the House are going to be so busy trying to undo everything they have done for 8 years, that the only thing they will know how to do is go home and sleep for 4 hours and back to work for 14 hours...
This is Trump’s schedule they will be working on, not theirs...and America is going to love watching how he ‘nips and tucks’ them every day...
They have been talking about a “3 year transition” where the law would remain in effect and Congress figures out what to do before it sunsets.
I wish they would all spontaneously drop dead.
First, the GOP must die. Everything else comes after that.
If you don’t bother with a replacement then it will take no time at all.
Aw, shaddup and get out of the way, you useless consumer of oxygen and space!!
McConnell is just a swamp rat!
McTurtle needs to switch parties.
He and Romney should team up with Larson and Weld.
You can’t grill it ... until you kill it!
The D’s managed to put this POS law into effect almost overnight. A law that is so thick that nobody on Capital Hill even bothered to read it, as Nancy Pelosi acknowledged.
It does not take any longer to repeal it, Senator. you should be able to write a once sentence bill to repeal it in about...say...fifteen seconds?
Get off your butt, stop stalling and screwing around, and start doing your job, Senator.
Thank you.
Sure you can. Just pass it then we’ll see what’s in it!
Just define a good, better, best insurance policy minimum coverage. Allow insurance companies to write within these standards with a la carte upgrades, make it nationwide like auto insurance, let the customer (patient) OWN their policy like auto/home insurance (no more preferred pools to interfere with hiring), create state subsidized “high risk” pools using the high risk auto insurance model with all companies sharing the underwriting along with gov for those with catastrophic needs.
Let the market place work, I guarantee the insurance companies have contingency policies that can be delivered to the public within hours of killing Obamacare. Time for McConnel/Ryan to put on their big boy pants and man up as representatives of the people (statesmen) instead of establishment stooges!
One would think that after Trump gave McConnell’s wife that high paying cushy job, Mitch would be a little more cooperative.

I think DJT will have something to say about that.
