“for those who are keeping score, this is the 17th time that the Senate will be asked by the Republicans to vote to end ObamaCare, and they have added to this to defund Planned Parenthood. As one individual said the other day, here is a breakthrough press release: President Barack Obama is not going to end ObamaCare. That seems pretty obvious. So this is a political exercise. It doesn't solve the problems of America. It doesn't even address the problems of America. The Affordable Care Act finds health insurance for 17 million Americans. We have reduced the number of uninsured Americans by 45 percent with this bill. The Republicans have opposed it from the start, never providing a single vote in support, never willing to sit down after it was passed to talk about changes that would make it even stronger or better. They want to end it. It is ObamaCare. It has the President's name on it--enough said for many of them. They want it to go away. The reality is if it goes away, so does health insurance protection for millions of Americans. So you would expect that the Grand Old Party, the Republican Party, would have an alternative for us, right? Wrong. They have never come forward with any alternative that would provide coverage for these millions of Americans and the others who should have health insurance coverage as well. It just tells you that they are prepared to go back to the bad old days before ObamaCare and the Affordable Care Act. Remember those days?…”
