The latest Republican effort to repeal/replace the Affordable Care Act, the Cassidy-Graham bill, is meeting with some pretty heated rhetoric in opposition — on both sides of the aisle (at least outside of Congress).
Among other critiques, the Washington Post reports, the bill would “devolve federal health spending and policy authority to states and could cause millions to lose health insurance.” And not every Republican is happy about it.
Democrats, of course, are furious, particularly since the Congressional Budget Office has indicated that it won’t be able to provide a full breakdown of fallout, should the bill become law, until next week — and that’s past the deadline Republicans have set for themselves to pass the bill with a mere 51 votes. If they can’t ram the bill through before September 30, they’ll have to get some Democratic support for the measure — something that’s more in line with pink elephants rather than gray ones.
