Those senators — Rand Paul of Kentucky, Ted Cruz of Texas, Ron Johnson of Wisconsin and Mike Lee of Utah — announced that while they cannot support the bill as its currently written, they are open to negotiating changes that could ultimately win their support.
“Currently, for a variety of reasons, we are not ready to vote for this bill, but we are open to negotiation and obtaining more information before it is brought to the floor,” the statement read. “There are provisions in this draft that represent an improvement to our current health care system but it does not appear this draft as written will accomplish the most important promise that we made to Americans: to repeal Obamacare and lower their health care costs.”
Precisely the kind of crappola Obama had to put up with to get the ACA enacted. And once again it's the same players.....surprise, surprise.
They might just have well said: "my major donors have told me they're not happy with losing their license to rape and pillage and I must follow their orders."
Looks good on the Repubs and was nothing if not expected.
That's why the bill was made public today, so it can be altered before the end of next week to flip a couple of the naysayers.
Its quite brilliant that there are only 4 nays.

No matter how they tweak it in the Senate, if it passes there, it dies a thousand deaths in the House.

Usually the nays are not "really" nays... they are usually opportunist to get some of their agendas supported or inserted in some bills.... Cruz, no surprise... Paul, no surprise... don't know much about the other two... but they sound like easy conversions...

Republicans hate obama SO MUCH that they're willing to sign this piece of **** bill just to replace it, even though this will be much worse.
Is Obamacare perfect? Far from it. But just from reading the highlights of this new proposed bill, millions of Americans are going to be scrwed over. But who cares, the rich get richer. #Murica #MAGA
