[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Representatives from Washington state are on both sides of the issue as the fight to repeal Obamacare gets underway in Washington, D.C.

Republicans met with the Vice President-elect then U.S. Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers of Spokane introduced him.

“I want to thank Vice President-elect Mike Pence for joining us today as we start this unified Republican government,” she said
“The truth is that the commitment that the president-elect made was to repeal and replace Obamacare, and as he said this morning in a tweet it will (be) important that we be careful as we do that,” Pence said.

But as Democrats met with President Obama, Seattle's newly elected Democratic congresswoman, Pramila Jayapal, vowed to protect the 600,000 low-income Washingtonians who have health insurance because of the Affordable Care Act.

“I think we have to call out the Republicans on this idea that you can keep one or two pieces but get rid of other things,” she said.

We need to somehow inform our fellow citizens in red counties how the program benefits them in ways they don't know.
