Rand Paul votes against repealing ACA (Congress, Obama, elect, state)

[Stymie13]

Rand Paul votes against the first step in repealing the ACA because it adds 9 trillion in debt over 10 years.

'I won't vote for a terrible budget just to repeal Obamacare.'

Unfortunately for Rand, sensibility and partisan politics don't go hand in hand.

Good for him.

Makes sense to me.

He is one of a select few that doesn't frighten me in this Congress. They're worse than President-elect acting with egos and not brains.

You hear McConnell condemn Shumers "unprecedented" move to not approve a SCOTUS pick?

Only 9 Trillion in 10 Years, what's his issue.

That statement by McConnell was pretty funny, did he forget what happened last year already, it's only Jan 5.

If the repeal is stuck inside a terrible bill, he is doing the right thing.

The ACA needs to be repealed, but not at "all costs".

They also have MONTHS to repeal AND replace. Do they really think they are going to kill it for this year?

I read that too and wondered what the hell the old duffer was talking about.
