I understand it perfectly. They are lying scumbags.

who you've probably seen on TV shitting all over Obamacare for months/years/however long she's been a thing. One of the first parts of the ACA to go into effect was the provision allowing people up to age 26 to stay on their parent's health insurance.

It's just hypocritical/oblivious, especially if she spent this evening trashing Obamacare or something. That seems to be what Twitter is indicating.

Not shocked. By all accounts, most republicans were relieved to be off the hc rollercoaster...but freedom caucus kooks are still terribly bitter about losing the straight repeal.

Rand Paul hates this bill so much he's offering democrats some solid talking points they can run with.

So the new bill does away with preexisting condition protections? And they want to pass it right before getting into midterms?

I honestly don't understand what is happening to Republicans right now. It's like watching a robot's CPU slowly burn out in a sci fi movie.
