While House Republicans defend the swiftness with which they’re bringing an Obamacare repeal bill to a vote after a number of last-minute changes, one of their GOP counterparts on the other side of the Capitol said he was “concerned” about their process.
About an hour before the American Health Care Act was scheduled for a vote, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) tweeted that the legislation “should be viewed with caution.”
I appreciate the apparent progress on health care reform in the House of Representatives. I will admit, I’m concerned with the process.

A bill — finalized yesterday, has not been scored, amendments not allowed, and 3 hours final debate — should be viewed with caution.

House Republicans are expected to pass their bill Thursday without seeing an updated Congressional Budget Office score on some major changes they made in the last two weeks to shore up support for the legislation. Among those changes is a waiver option for states to opt out of certain Affordable Care Act insurer mandates.
Caution? ROFLMAO…
You should be handling it like the MF’ing unpinned hand grenade the Conservative Abominable Care Act (CACA) is.
Where is the “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington” moment when someone has the temerity to call a spade a fucking shovel and start smacking some of these idiots over the head with it?
Sorry for the foul language, but the hypocrisy is astounding.
Uh-Oh. This sounds like someone planning a very considered and thoughtful collapse into utter compliance.
But Lindsey…whatever HAPPENED to the ‘outrage’ about READING THE DAMN BILL…or the DEFICIT or any other crap you guys flung…
Why has Lindsey taken his recently unguarded, sweaty and bloated with a growth of some sort bloodhound nose off the Obama wiretap trail?
