Clearly, both...Of course, I understand your point. Clearly, both sides are not only considering the merits here. Back when Obamacare was passed, you recall that 100% of the GOP voted against while (I think) all DEMS voted for it. Is it really possible that any issue could divide along party lines only on the merits? I don't think so. I challenge you to come up with any decent idea that would get 100% support from one party and 100% opposition from the other. When this occurs, it means that politics are at play, which I think is inarguable. Look where this got us. The GOP would be better served, in my view, if they could earn some DEM support for the Replace Obamacare phase. However, will any DEM be permitted to cross the line over to them? I wonder. Unfortunately, the politics will 'trump' the policy.

"W...<br />Agree with most of what you said.<br />However,<br />"Will the GOP take a lesson from their adversaries and jam it through without a single Democrat vote?"<br />I am curious, if right thing is being done, on sound economic and behavioral basis, then why it is needed to seek the agreement and blessing of the other side that did exactly opposite, and with inappropriate force? <br /><br />Let us discuss what is the right thing to do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
