It's either that, or senility has caught up to her. At her age, it's safe to say there are mental issues setting in, but we'll have to pry that "dignified" paycheck of hers from her cold, dead hands before she does the right thing and just steps down.
She may just be trying to calm the Democrat base.

I can't wait to hear Republicans campaigning on the promise of taking away health insurance from millions of Americans and reinstating pre-existing condition clauses. Lets see how far that gets them.

Obamacare will also save 45,000 Americans from dying each year from not having insurance.

And since Obamacare will give everyone health insurance and preventive medical care, it will save America (HUGE) amounts of money in the distant future (there will be less sick people.)
And you can keep your doctor, and the average family will save $2,500 a year, and unicorns will crap rainbows and... /swoon

They grow you drones on trees.

Every Republican replacement plan for the ACA included coverage for preexisting conditions.

No need, Obama already took health insurance away from over 6 million people.

Through the exchanges, medicaid expansion, and young adults being able to stay on their parents insurance plans Obamacare has provided health insurance to over 20 million Americans. The rate of uninsured is now the lowest it has been since 2008 and will go down dramatically when numbers get posted in a few months for early 2014 numbers.

Wrong. I have yet to see a Republican plan that gives full coverage for pre-existing conditions. Republicans want to enact plans that will allow pre-existing condition clauses if the insured has any breaks in insurance coverage. So essentially, they want insurance companies to be able to deny pre-existing conditions.

Where are the millions of protesters in the streets? Republicans keep telling people that millions have lost their jobs and millions have lost their insurance and millions are in financial ruin due to ACA. But still no mass protests in the streets. Americans aren't the type to stand idly by and stand for this kind of abuse.
