Cruz, Lee, Paul demand 'full repeal' of ObamaCare

trio of GOP senators are adding an extra hurdle to the looming fight over nixing the Affordable Care Act, arguing they want "full repeal" of ObamaCare. 

Sens. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Mike Lee (R-Utah) each pointed to the Senate's 2015 repeal bill as the "bare minimum" for the 2017 repeal legislation.

"2 yrs ago, the GOP Congress voted to repeal Obamacare. That 2015 repeal language should be the floor, the bare minimum," they each tweeted along with the hashtag "full repeal."




The tweets come as the conservative House Freedom Caucus voted to oppose an ObamaCare repeal bill if it does not go as far as the repeal measure that passed in 2015.

I don't know how I'm going to keep my sanity during all of this. I have contacted my red state representatives who will vote with the majority regardless of how many people contact them. I have joined my local indivisible group, but I still feel pretty hopeless.

Peace

Me.

It is going nowhere and if the Dems can get it together by 2018, you can truly kiss any hopes of it goodbye. A House (or SEnate) divided against itself cannot stand.

It is very simple. They repeal and don't have anything viable to back it up, they own the mess. They can kiss 2018 good bye.

Who are they going to risk pissing off? Their vast constituents or their tea party whackadoodles?
