Rep. Justin Amash (R-MI) said Monday that he can't think of any legislation proposed during his time in Congress that has been "more universally detested" than House Republicans' bill to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act.
"While I've been in Congress, I can't recall a more universally detested piece of legislation than this GOP health care bill," Amash tweeted.

Amash faced questions about the repeal from constituents at a town hall during the congressional recess in January. At that event, he advocated for a conditional state-by-state repeal of Obamacare to be activated only once state legislatures passed their own health care legislation to replace it.
In March, Amash said that House Republican leadership was trying to "ram" the repeal bill through Congress. "The problem actually is that theyre not working with Democrats," he said.

(8,759 posts)His existence offends them on a personal level and they are on a quest to expunge anything related to Obama, because he is Obama.
They're so hung up on Obama hate they wrote this piece of shit to spite #44.
They're so blinded by that hate the legislation they came up with punishes GOP voters far more than it punishes liberals.
Damn fools, the lot of them.
