So I guess we will see what kind of excuse the Senators come up with to avoid passing this..
The SENATE seems to be the problem in getting anything done these days.
Too many RINOs.
Why have they not passed it? These rogue chameleon politians that are calling themselves Republicans are the holdup.
The longer it takes the worse Obama care becomes so it's better to drag it out.
