You guys really shouldn't go to bed so early. All the good stuff happens at night.

Progs are losing their minds. I saw a Facebook post claiming that Mitch McConnell just personally voted to kill him.

No more free acupuncture or holistic healing for you either.

There are going to be some trying times...

Are you sure about that Sen Wyden promised me that would not be touched. I am concerned about my Asian Spa treatments being eliminated.

True story: there is a new guy in our contracts division who is freaking out because he is trying to get sex re-assignment surgery under Obamacare before the GOP shuts it down. He hasn't made it a secret, which also means the butt-hurt/Repub-hate is spewing out of him on a daily basis. I never have to see him, thankfully.

Did you ask them what pronouns they prefer before making this post and referring to them as "he" and "him"?

Yeah, disapproving of the government wasting loads of our money pandering to someone's mental illness is "Repub-hate".

You should have married a senior director of benefits for a large benefit broker. Then you have known this and more over a week ago and gone to bed early.

Is this the tack he takes? To be the lone dissenter and for what purpose? I hope he explains himself.

He has said that he wants repeal and replace with free market reforms not just a repeal.

This wasn't a simple Obamacare vote. The resolution also lays out 9+ trillion dollars of new debt over the next 10 years. You probably know this, but Rand is the only fiscally conservative person in DC.

Rand said in a previous interview that he couldn't vote to repeal without the replacement part because just repealing would blow up the debt. I'm not saying I agree or disagree, just stating what I remember him saying in the interview.

Thee Democrats will whine, kick, and scream about getting the bill removed.

Rand has stated he wants a replacement ready to go when the ACA is repealed.
