Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) promised Sunday that the House healthcare repeal bill will look like "Swiss cheese" when the Senate is done with it.

Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said Sunday that he'll use parliamentary procedure to make sure that the Republicans get a vote on the healthcare repeal bill in the Senate.

"Mitch McConnell has the right to offer an amendment," Schumer said on CBS' "Face the Nation." "If he does -- if the Republicans offer an amendment on the floor, then we will require them to vote on the individual protections in the bill that are very popular and that even some of the new Republican House members have said they support.

Schumer said Democrats would put the GOP on the hot seat over provisions such as the doughnut hole for prescription drug benefits, allowing twentysomethings to stay on their parents' healthcare plans, and free check-ups for seniors on Medicare.

2. Ah, Chuck, always ready to capitulate.

Good for you Chuckie, we wouldn't want our party to stop looking weak on EVERYTHING.
