Same as it ever was, same as it ever was... The GOP is setting aside a lot of stuff that needs to get done so it can take one last whack at killing Obamacare, this time through the awful Graham-Cassidy bill, which would convert federal healthcare spending for the Affordable Care Act and Medicaid into block grants to the state, while also making those grants much smaller than the amounts currently spent on both programs. Then the states will magically be more efficient in setting up 50 different healthcare systems, so the cuts won't matter and everyone will be covered, maybe. At least until 2026 when the block grant funding goes away altogether. It's "flexibility" and it's "federalism," and also it's bullshit.
(CNN)CNN will host a town hall with Republican Sens. Lindsey Graham and Bill Cassidy, who will be debating health care with Sens. Bernie Sanders and Amy Klobuchar on Monday, September 25 at 9 p.m. ET.
CNN anchor Jake Tapper and chief political correspondent Dana Bash will moderate the 90-minute live event from Washington.
I'm just going to point out here that if Trump's new BFFs Chuck and Nancy hadn't done the deal on the CR and debt ceiling, the Senate maybe wouldn't have time to deal with this turdwaddle of a healthcare bill.
When that deal went down it looked pretty durn smart on Chuckandnancy's part, but in the end it might be the assholes who win. Again.
And, apparently in an attempt to get Murkowski's vote, they've added a provision that allows Alaska and Hawaii to keep the ACA, eliminating it for all other states. Which shows the superiority of this plan, how?
what a lovely day!

f we do nothing, I think it has a tremendous impact on the 2018 elections.
Fuckers admit their real reasoning with their mouth.
You know what? Fine let them have their block grants.But make sure that only taxes from that state can go to that state, and no where else.
Let us see how THAT impacts 2018
Or have liberal abortion policies, or promote birth control
States rights and local controls!Unless those states or locals do a thing we do not like
They could just start doing things that actually help people and win votes without the dark money?
And most who probably are
Issa's office will never EVER pick up! Neither will Duncan Hunter's, in my experience, not that it's even worth talking to those two at this point.
Are you actually, Cindy, in Encinitas? Are you Issa territory down there? We're north & in Hunter-land, which really sucks.

To summarize: Fuck.
"Restoring decision-making back to the states is always a good idea"
no...No...NOOOOOOO...IT's NEVER A GOOD IDEA....fucking khaa-ryst, when will we ever be rid of this fucking states rights bullshit
Maybe after the New York AG indicts Trump.
Good old boys drinking whiskey and rye...
