Unfortunately, it appears as though Republicans are far from reaching this milestone. House GOP members blame Senate GOP members and vise versa. Both of these groups accuses the other of “dilly dallying,” “failure,” and wasting time, even though they are both responsible for the gridlock, inaction, and lack of progress.
As ‘Tipping Point’ host Liz Wheeler accurately tweeted out, “If Republican senators don’t have the gumption to repeal Obamacare & repeal it ALL THE WAY, it’s time for those senators to find new jobs.”
The impasse between House Republicans and Senate Republicans is unacceptable and it cannot continue. These senators were elected to do a job. If repealing and replacing Obamacare (as they promised for seven years), is too challenging for the GOP, then perhaps they should resign and pave the way for lawmakers who can actually get the job done.
The American people do not have time to wait for the GOP to grow up and follow through on declarations they made for nearly a decade. Republicans had seven years to come up with proposals for healthcare. They have control of the White House, the House of Representatives, and the Senate. If the Democrats essentially had full control of the government, as Republicans do now, they would be enacting new laws everyday. If the GOP does not quickly get their act together, they may do irreversible damage to the Republican Party for years to come.
