Party over country

Why is it that the Republican party has no interest in the welfare of its fellow citizens? Senator McConnell is preparing legislation to repeal the Affordable Care Act again, paying strict attention to Medicaid.

They hope to approve legislation that would repeal ObamaCare’s expansion of Medicaid, which 30 states have adopted, and eliminate the insurance exchanges and subsidies set up by the landmark law, according to Senate GOP sources.

Repealing the Medicaid expansion would take health care away from at least 10.75 million people (the latest number available, from December 2014).

Whatever happened to good governance, the common welfare, and E Pluribus Unum?
