Senate Democrats are still on the Senate floor, detailing the great good that Obamacare has achieved, and calling out Republicans for their abject failure in coming up with a replacement. No on is better at that then Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA).

"Democrats and nonpartisan government officials have worked for years here in Washington to make the health system work. We have made progress. And now, Republicans in Congress are ready to throw away these years and years of progress. They are ready to threaten the collapse of our insurance markets. They are ready to threaten the health and safety of millions of Americans, simply to make a political point. They are ready to repeal and run," Senator Warren said. She continued, "if Republicans want to destroy health care in America, I will fight them every step of the way. The stakes are too high for the millions of Americans whose futures are about to be sacrificed so that one party can make a political point. Let's stay here and do the work that needs to be done to make sure every American gets access to high quality, affordable health care. Repeal and run is for cowards."
