Schumer: Dems won't help GOP with Obamacare replacement
The incoming Senate Democratic leader says his party won't help Republicans with a new health reform plan down the road if they repeal Obamacare without an immediate replacement.
I think Mr. Trump can explain the Dems' pissy attitude in 140 characters...
Sen. Chuck Schumer, who will replace retiring Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid in January, said Republicans will have to "own" the situation if they ditch the healthcare law but don't immediately come up with a way to replace it.
What the Dems are trying to do: delay the repeal of O-Care near indefinitely by stringing out the negotiations on the "replacement" deal. That doesn't work if the Pubs repeal O-Care immediately.
"We're not going to do a replacement," Schumer said of his caucus. "If they repeal without a replacement, they will own it. Democrats will not then step up to the plate and come up with a half-baked solution that we will partially own. It's all theirs."
Well, Obamacare is all your party's and is a major reason you and your ilk are in the minority.
Republicans are contemplating an approach to Obamacare that would delay a repeal of the law by two or three years, giving them time to come up with a replacement plan. GOP leaders have said a repeal measure will be first on their task list when they return to Washington next month.

If Democrats refuse to work with Republicans on a replacement plan, that could put them in a political bind, as they could be blamed for depriving millions of Americans of health coverage.
That's the spin message from WaPo.
"They're giving us tremendous leverage," Schumer told the Washington Post.
More like giving you enough rope to hang yourselves with.
