Tonight's Winner: Congresswoman-Elect Jennifer Wexton (D-VA) | The Last Word | MSNBC


Midterm exit polls show that health care was the number one issue for voters. And now that Democrats have won the House, they are promising to protect Obamacare. Congresswoman-elect Jennifer Wexton joins Lawrence with a voter who helped her win: mom and “health care voter” Tasha Nelson

1. I hope people realise that this is only stage one. Democrats can pass all the laws they want, but

Republicans & Trump can block them. The pressure needs to be doubled.

2. They can issue subpoenas and also hold public televised hearings where tesimony is under oath

Congress can do a lot more than just pass laws

3. The Wexton-Nelson interview was about healthcare and pre-existing conditions, that's the context of

my post. The Republicans are still proceeding with their lawsuit, and will do everything they can to kill any fixes to the ACA, while portraying it as Democrats fault.

4. Ok, sorry I miss understood..

I'm posting in 3 or 4 places right now, sorry about that.

You are right that we can't pass anything on healthcare that would get signed or probably not even past the Senate

One thing the Dems could do to all the lying repubs is put up a stand alone bill on pre-existing conditions and challenge the hypocrites to vote for it

5. No probs. Yes, I 100% agree...and keep bringing it back to the floor, like they did when they tried

repeal the ACA !

[KelleyKramer]

6. OK, yeah I like that even better!

Maybe not 70 times, but you have a good point, maybe bring it up for 4 or 5 votes just to drive the point home
