GOP Senator Says He Wants More Time Before Voting On Obamacare Repeal Bill

By ESME CRIBB Published JUNE 25, 2017 11:27 AM

Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) on Sunday said he has not decided whether or not to support his colleagues’ version of the bill to repeal and replace Obamacare and wants more time to consider it.

“Right now I’m undecided,” Cassidy said on CBS News’ “Face the Nation.”

On Friday, he said the bill was “cheaper” but declined to commit to voting for or against it.

Cassidy on Sunday said he has “concerns” about Senate Republicans’ bill and wants more time before the Senate votes on the legislation.

There is nothing about Republicans that isn't disgusting and deplorable.

When we get the majorities and the presidency back - SOON - we better do nothing less than drive their sniveling asses into the ground!
