Liar

what a small, small man

When McCain last asked voters for a job, he said he was going to repeal and replace. In fact, he wasn't just opposed, he was "leading the fight to stop Obamacare".

Is this what 'leading the fight to stop Obamacare' looks like? 'Cos it sure looks like leading the fight to save Obamacare. Exactly like it.

So now McCain says that if he wrote a perfect bill himself, one that would save lives and help strapped families save money and unleash small businesses, he wouldn't vote for his own bill unless Democrats gave him permission?

Even these modest reforms are too much for Sen. No. Since McCain has set an impossible Goldilocks standard--not too hot, not too cold, but jussss' right!--it is "incumbent" on him to meet that standard.

So let's see your bill, Senator. The one that will get 60 or 70 votes in the Senate. You say that's the only one you can support, so write it and show us. Liar.

What a horse's ass.

I'm so sorry I ever supported him. It will never happen again. In fact, I'm now leading the fight to repeal and replace John McCain.

"And this time...it's for real."

And while we're at it, Just Do It, Mr. President:

If a new HealthCare Bill is not approved quickly, BAILOUTS for Insurance Companies and BAILOUTS for Members of Congress will end very soon!

"as the January 1, 2014 implementation date for ObamaCare’s individual and employer mandates approached, members of Congress were worried less about how the law would affect their constituents than they were about how the law would affect themselves and their staffs. Buried in the law’s 2,000-plus pages was Section 1312(d)(3)(D), which requires members and their staffs to leave behind their generous Federal Employee Health Benefits Program health plans and instead purchase their health insurance directly through the ObamaCare exchanges, without benefit of an employer subsidy. That requirement, like the individual and employer mandates, would kick in on January 1, 2014.
After heavy lobbying by leaders of both parties on both sides of the Capitol dome, President Obama came to their rescue. He directed the Office of Personnel Management to issue a rule – now codified as 78 Fed. Reg. 60653-01 – declaring Congress itself a small business (!), the necessary subterfuge to set them up for the kicker: Because Congress was deemed a “small business,” “the DC Health Link Small Business Market administered by the DC Health Benefit Exchange Authority is the appropriate SHOP from which Members of Congress and designated congressional staff will purchase health insurance in order to receive a Government contribution.”
It was necessary to find a way to let members and staff into the small business exchange for a simple reason – it was the only way they could maintain their “employer contribution” toward their premiums. Those “contributions” – illegal taxpayer-financed subsidies, in reality – are worth about $5,000 for an individual policy, and close to $12,000 for a family policy. If members and staff had been required to purchase through the individual exchanges, as the law clearly intended, they would have had to pay their premiums on their own.
The good news is, what was done by one president with unilateral executive action can be undone by another president with unilateral executive action. Doing so would raise the temperature on Congress to get a real repeal bill on his desk before the end of the fiscal year, or suffer real personal consequences.
Further, taking such action would show that Trump is taking another step toward fulfilling his promise to “drain the swamp.” Little rankles the heartland as much as the perception that there are different laws, rules, and treatment for the benefit of the national capital’s ruling class. In this case, perception actually is reality. I’ve never seen a poll that showed less than 75 percent support for ending Congress’ illegal special exemption from ObamaCare.
So, President Trump – send a memo to the Office of Personnel Management directing them to announce that Congress’ illegal special exemption will be removed, effective October 1, 2017. Light a fire under Congress to come to agreement on a bill living up to your promise to repeal ObamaCare, and drain the swamp at the same time. It’s a winner all around.".......

There is no excuse, absolutely NONE--for Congress not living under the same laws they impose on the rest of us.

It's arrogant, perverted, disgusting, haughty, aristocratic, greedy and indefensible. It's wrong and they should be ashamed that they haven't rejected this royal treatment themselves.

No wonder they won't do their jobs--they don't have any consequences for their malingering. President Trump should give them one.

What did Alinsky say about holding them to their own standards? Or, better yet, let's hold Americans to Congress' standard. If it was legal for Obama to give Congress a special deal, it's legal for Trump to give that deal to everybody.

You want bi-partisan? Hold a very public contest, Mr. President. 

Ask Americans if you should cancel the Royal $5,000 per person-Exemption that Congress and their employees get--or extend it to every other American, so we can all live under the same law for a change.
