        Rand Paul wants Medicaid gone in 2018. That's his issue.

        Me neither. We abdicated our country to those who took advantage of those who didn't know any better.

        That's only because in this form it doesn't harm more people, not less people. They want less coverage.

      Is this setting them up to make amendments that attract their votes? Or is it beyond that?

      Is this another bait-and-switch, @RandPaul? Ordinary Americans are exhausted with this regime.
