McConnell: "These are not just numbers on the page, these are the lives of real people"

He's live on the Senate floor right now.

"I imagine many Democrats were celebrating last night. I hope they will consider what they are celebrating."

Pimping repeal now, replace after the midterms.

McTurtle is only talking about the 1%'ers now. They keep talking about the promise they made to repeal. That promise was not made to the American people. That was made to the 1%'ers, and maybe some Russian oligarchs.

Once the midterms are over, win or lose, it will either be a recycling of the legislation that is failing right now, or a "nothingburger."

I can't stand the blatant lying and propaganda.

The news media needs to be constantly challenging this bullshit.

but I for one am celebrating that 20 million people aren't losing their health insurance coverage anytime soon!

If Republicans want to stop their repeal efforts and intentional attempts at sabotage of ACA anytime soon and make things even better, that'd be great.
