Sums it up.

It will be interesting to see the reactions from the people who have had a taste of not worrying about being able to afford decent insurance.

Yep, he's got a huge slush fund with which to buy votes. This is how the GOP works. 85% of the country opposes this POS, but they will buy the legislation with our tax dollars regardless.
