Republicans!! A way out: The Bi-Partisan Health Care Act

Republicans,

Simply take ObamaCare, fix it the way Democrats would eventually have done (they'll tell you how), and strip Obama's name for the package.

Or would you rather comit suicide?

Your friend,

Wake Up

I wouldn't be surprised to see a last minute deal cut to tweak ACA and pretty much keep it as it is. Somehow 45 will be in the middle of this. He'll get bipartisan support. He'll go before the people and say, I told you I know how to make deals.

This will lessen the pressure on Russia.

The repugs won't like it but since they are up to their eyeballs in Russia, there isn't much they can do. If one goes down, they all do down.

We'll see less focus on the social issues while work moves ahead to gut the EPA, water down dodd- frank, and give a good old fashion tax break to the rich.

And convince the GOP governors to enact the expansion provisions/enrollment programs.

Millions more uninsured would be covered and the increase in signups would hold down the costs for the consumers. In 2 years they could brag that T Care was way better and didn't cost as much.

Thankfully, the GOP is too locked into their bigotry to really help the people, so the midterms are looking brutal for them.
