The latest attempt by the GOP to replace Obamacare has nothing to do with providing coverage for American citizens. Members of the Republican Party are simply trying to save their political careers as opposed to saving the lives of the constituents that they serve.

After years of promising to repeal and replace the ACA package, the GOP is backed into a corner, and their response is to institute an insidious bill, that denies coverage to those who need it most. Pushing the bill out for vote without the benefit of proper examination and debate is a sign of underhandedness and trickery.

Republicans have placed their personal career goals above and beyond the specter of a comprehensive, inclusive healthcare package that would benefit the entire country. It should be mentioned that the effort to repeal and replace the ACA, was from the very beginning, a political maneuver designed to eradicate legislation by Barack Obama without merit.

The result is a bill that has GOP members like Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley, to openly admit that he intends to vote in favor of the bill, simply because Republicans have to deliver on their campaign promises. He says this while also conceding that the bill provides at least ten reasons to be voted down. In the eyes of the GOP, doing the despicable is better than breaking a campaign promise.

When you consider the potential for 32 million people losing coverage, UNLIMITED rising premiums and noncoverage of pre-existing conditions how can any GOP member vote yes for this package in good conscious?

Republicans who are seeing their political careers flash before their eyes in regards to 2018 midterm elections are operating without conscious, care or duty to country. The GOP have put votes and policy above the well-being of taxpayers. They have put the survival of party over the survival of your family.

Republicans have proved without a shadow of a doubt, that they are a collection of self-serving, conniving liars. Now that it’s clear that the drowning GOP has decided to use this reprehensible healthcare package as a life preserver for their party let’s make sure that they are the ones dead in the water in 2018.
