Failed idea features prominently in Republican bill despite red state regret - The Briefing w/Jen Psaki - MSNBC

the Maggot pukes skimming into their own pockets, and see how much this adds up to.

The objective isn't to insure people; it's to NOT insure people. The objective is a huge trough for the pigs to dine at the taxpayer's expense.
