New Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) says Republicans want to "Make America Sick Again" by trying to repeal the Affordable Care Act.

"It will create chaos. Because you cannot repeal a plan and put nothing in its place. It doesn't matter if you say the repeal won't take place for year or two years," Schumer told Politico Playbook in an interview Wednesday.

Schumer, who is replacing former Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) as the top Democrat in Congress, said Democrats will use the "Make America Sick Again" slogan in healthcare rallies across the country. The line is a play on President-elect Donald Trump's "Make America Great Again" campaign tagline.

"Some of us might want to offer a public option if you kept Obamacare, not if you repealed it," the senator said. "Some of us would want to give the insurance regulators more clout to come down on the insurance companies. Things like that." He also maintained that Democrats won't "save their butts" if the Republicans "screw it up."

2. An interesting take on the repeal from FSTV this afternoon

The thinking is the fascists will get rid of the mandate (which all the "big guvment" idiots hate), do a subsidy to take care of any insurance increase that will cause, keep 90% as is, rename it republican care act, trumpcare or some f'ed up thing. Those sneaky bastards could do it and get away with it.

and after a person is out of the womb alot of Republicans could care less what happens to someone.

4. Trumpcare That's Never There

In the October Revolution, 1917, they screamed "all power to the Soviets!"

We could say "All money to the 1%!"
