CBO scored "skinny" repeal...

https://twitter.com/kasie/status/890359137531551744

16 million uninsured, 20% increase in premiums each year.

I call on the senate to stand against this sham of a bill.

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Steve Daines (R-MT) is reciprocating Merkley/Murphy by introducing a single payer amendment, making Democrats go on the record.

Lol let this somehow inexplicably pass

Bernie told them to f off

FF

Wow Bernie did something right for once

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

So essentially we are going to let 16 million people die on the street, or maybe we aren't, or maybe we are, or maybe we aren't, or maybe we are........make up your mind GOP!

Brian Schlub speaking now. What a waste of oxygen.

Remind me again how you are a Democrat?

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Can someone please post here when the voting starts (or is about to start) for the "skinny" bill.
Thank you.

No one knows when it will start. Follow https://twitter.com/senategopfloor for the latest.
