Redundant post is redundant.

Redundant post is redundant.

"You know, I could maybe give you 10 reasons why this bill shouldn't be considered," Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley told local reporters, according to The Des Moines Register. "But Republicans campaigned on this so often that you have a responsibility to carry out what you said in the campaign. That's pretty much as much of a reason as the substance of the bill."

Like you people have ever been willing to die on the hill of keeping your campaign promises. Meanwhile, it's really not a reason. It's like the Charge of the Light Brigade and any number of historical examples. If you realize you've committed to something stupid, harmful, and dangerous, given any opportunity at all, you stop. You look around, you think a little, and then you show actual leadership and say, "This is a bad idea," and don't do it. This is not a question of you gave your word. It's a question of I'm gonna prove I'm right, even if I'm wrong! Some victories cost too much; some victories are, in fact, failures.

"We have more than enough information," Sen. Ron Johnson, a Republican from Wisconsin and a co-sponsor of Graham-Cassidy, said about not having a CBO score. "We've been highly disappointed in how CBO has really conducted themselves throughout this health care process."

You mean they didn't rubber stamp your nonsense? So sorry actual information is not supporting your imagined glorious victories.

Wyoming Sen. John Barrasso, a member of the Republican leadership and a doctor, also made headlines after telling NBC's Katy Tur that "there shouldn't be" a requirement for insurers to cover essential health benefits. "There are not protections for essential health benefits in this bill," MSNBC host Katy Tur began in an interview earlier this week. "And there shouldn't be," Barrasso said, explaining that they increased prices of insurance.

Add Barrasso to that list of why doctors shouldn't be elected.
