Vice President Pence on Monday said congressional Republicans should pass a “repeal only” bill if they can’t come to a consensus on legislation to replace ObamaCare.

Actually, this entire story is wrong. If you read the transcript of what the VP said he first reviewed the argument that others have made to just repeal and then replace and then explained that it wouldn’t work because Obamacare is broken now and people can not wait for years to get the deductibles down to affordable levels. This story only quotes his discussion of the repeal only argument as if it was his belief and it wasn’t. Completely fake story that demonstrates the ruthlessness and dishonesty of these propagandists in the media.
Works for me
