After Republican Senate leadership on Thursday morning revealed a draft bill to repeal and replace Obamacare, Sen. Roger Wicker (R-MS) lamented that the bill does not differ from the Affordable Care Act as much as some Republicans would like.
“We’re certainly not able to do as much as some of us would like,” Wicker told reporters when asked about provisions in the Senate bill that keep major aspects of Obamacare. “Clearly, a lot of us would like to do more if we had the votes. We’re dealing with the reality of getting to 50.”
Some of the aspects of the Senate bill appear to follow the model of Obamacare, at least when compared to the House version. For instance, the Senate bill would use the existing ACA law around waivers to grant states more flexibility, rather than create new waivers like the House.
Mississippi is going to look like The Living Dead when the Conservative Affordable Care Act (CACA) gets sleazed through…
Mississippi? I had Idaho in the “out of touch” pool for today.
Wicker really feels in his heart that the poor’s skeletal systems could be better utilized elsewhere…
The GOP wants to kill more
Dems by removing their health care.
This sleazeball should be denied health care coverage for being so heartless,stupid and out-of -touch with what thousands of his constituents need. Evidently, Wicker is not a caring or principled person.
