Rick Santorum hands GOP plan for backdoor repeal of Obamacare by stealing money from large Dem states

Former Pennsylvania senator and Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum revealed this week that he has been working on a plan to effectively repeal Obamacare by stripping money from four Democratic states.

In an interview with Breitbart, Santorum said that he had been collaborating with Republican lawmakers to craft legislation that would block grant health care funds directly to the states, creating winners in red states and losers in blue states.

“In short, this is the last chance for a healthcare bill to pass, and this is the best idea that’s been floated yet,” Santorum opined. “Winston Churchill said that ‘America does the right thing after they have tried everything first.’”

According to Breitbart, Santorum has partnered with establishment Republicans like Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Bill Cassidy (R-LA). He has also made inroads with more conservative lawmakers in the House and GOP governors throughout the country, the former senator said.

Santorum openly admits that Democratic states like Massachusetts, California, New York, and Maryland will lose big in the backdoor Obamacare repeal effort.

1. And I'll keep calling for secession because of it

Cause fuck these guys continually trying to fuck us over in a million different ways.

[SharonClark]

2. How is this obvious discrimination possible?

The Dems in Congress better stay on their toes.

[Johonny]

8. Because large population blue states are massively under represented in congress

If they had representation in either house close to their population then this would never pass...

[Me.]

3. Oh Yes

Those states are going to stand by quietly while these crooks try another steal. But go ahead boys, initiate another stupid, sure to fail plan. What I wish is that these states would withhold taxes and see how that works.

4. Just guessing he is using some bullshit math to claim those 4 states get 40%

of ACA dollars.

And no doubt when checked his full proposal will not only screw those 4 states but also do little to rectify the problems all other Repub proposals had.

Let's see the math, Ricky Bob.

5. This piece of garbage identifies himself as a "religious" person. Actually, that is the republican

party

[Zoonart]

6. So... what the GOP does best...

Take hostages and exact blackmail. Now only those states that have elected Republican officials are going to get a voice and "Democraticly controlled states will get the shaft, and if they spin it corretly... the blame. They are really sick to the core. BLUE states... DROP DEAD!

7. Will someone please tell me why the republicons continue to divide America..

What is good for the bloody red states, is good for all states...screw you Santorum...now let's hear from Graham, and Cassidy (of whom I know nothing, and don't want to)....

If Graham let's this just sit out there, he is just an enabler of division...as well as a warmonger...

Who the hell are their constituents..know-nothings, I know....

9. RW wealth redistribution, their hypocrisy knows no bounds

Those states already provide much more to the federal government than they get in return.

Those 4 states are progressive enough to understand paying to help the less fortunate, but don't think they'll sit quietly while their taxes are used to punish their own residents.

10. Dear Commonwealth of Virginia:

Please redirect your efforts to remove CSA statues to removing Santorum, his wife and horde of children instead. Santorum is capable of more evil than they are.

Thank you.

/s/ Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

11. Good old "Man on dog sex" Santorum

The vileness lingers in the GOP.
