Press Releases
WASHINGTON – Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) issued the following statement Monday regarding the Better Care Reconciliation Act:
“After conferring with trusted experts regarding the latest version of the Consumer Freedom Amendment, I have decided I cannot support the current version of the Better Care Reconciliation Act,” Sen. Lee said. “In addition to not repealing all of the Obamacare taxes, it doesn’t go far enough in lowering premiums for middle class families; nor does it create enough free space from the most costly Obamacare regulations.”
Here is the full statement by Senator Moran:
The floodgates are opening while the tRump family obnoxious are still holding their fingers in multiple leaks in the “wall”.

McConnell now plans to put a straight “repeal” bill to a vote with a two year plan to “replace” the law. This is the bill put on the desk of President Obama, which, of course, he vetoed.
McConnell can only lose three votes for this to go down in flames and there are Senators who have objected to this version and may do so again.
Here is the article from Roll Call from 12:15 a.m. on Tues morning.
IF the “repeal” alone is passed, possibly 32 million people will lose coverage and people will absolutely die. These are the very real consequences that Senators face when McConnell pushes the tRump agenda of “just outright repeal it”.
It is astounding what jealousy and resentment of President Obama can push people into doing. We are a nation in deep trouble. Whether or not we come out the other side is not yet know… the “game” is still being written...unfortunately, it is being written in the blood of the sick, poor and needy.
