Freedom Caucus opposes GOP's Obamacare replacement plan

The Tea Party wing will go to war in their effort to take away healthcare sooner. Medicare and Social Security will be next.

Sadistic mofos. Cruel and unusual cretins.

The proposal “will meet with major resistance from Freedom Caucus members,” the North Carolina Republican vowed in an interview, calling it “the first big fight I see coming for the Freedom Caucus.”

“It should be repealed and replaced, and all of that should be done in the 115th Congress” — the two-year period starting in January through 2018 — and “not left to a future Congress to deal with,” Meadows added.

I heard someone refer to the "Freedom Caucus" as the "Suicide Caucus."
