The White House Budget Director, Mick Mulvaney, says that the Senate should not vote on anything else until it’s voted again on repealing Obamacare.
Mulvaney says that “yes” it's official White House policy that the Senate shouldn’t hold a vote on another issue — not even an imminent crisis like raising the debt ceiling— until the Senate votes again on health care.
I have a simple solution. Simply title the debt ceiling bill “Free Health Care for All!” and pass it. Kill two birds with one stone.
