Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) on Wednesday compared the revised Republican bill to repeal and place Obamacare, which Massie has said he will vote against, to a kidney stone.
“The House doesn’t care what happens to it, as long as they can pass it,” Massie tweeted.
The AHCA is like a kidney stone- the House doesn't care what happens to it, as long as they can pass it. #sassywithmassie

Massie in March called the bill’s original iteration “a stinking pile of garbage.”
He later announced that he was changing his vote on the bill — which was later pulled by leaders after they failed to corral enough votes to get it through the House — from “no” to “hell no.”
Sorry if I let you down. I'm changing my vote on #AHCA pic.twitter.com/JLUotqaO9L

In April, Massie said he plans to vote against the latest iteration of the bill, using slightly less vehement language.
Rewriting since he's not actually in HFC, but @RepThomasMassie says he's still a No on AHCA, a shift from "hell no"

That or a hemorrhoid. We need a massive airdrop of Preparation H on the GOP congressweasels…
Sorry, to bust the (very lonely) reasonable Republican’s analogy, but that bill is the opposite of a kidney stone: Republicans won’t know what real pain is until after they pass it. Unfortunately, the rest of us will, too.
OMIGOD!!! There is a House member DOING HIS JOB??? Wow!
This looks like Mick Mulvaney, the lying weasel.
