Bre Payton: ‘It Turns Out Republicans Lied to Us the Entire Time’ on Repeal and Replace

EXCERPT:

FAULKNER: "You know what’s interesting, Bre? I mean, OK. So you’ve got the policy aspect about this from Emily, but the bottom line it seems like with McCain and others on this issue is how the process is being handled. Is there an opportunity before the special rules run out that will enable them to do it with a majority vote? And you’ve got to get 60 after September 30th."
PAYTON: "Right."
FAULKNER: "Is there an opportunity for Republicans to look at the process and expand out the dialogue and the debate on this bill?"
PAYTON: "I don’t think that there is an opportunity, with what 62 percent of Democrats supporting a single-payer health care system, which would bankrupt this country and is completely not at all realistic. I do however agree with Emily that it is very frustrating to see -- you know, all of us, we were promised by Republicans who're running for reelection that they would repeal ObamaCare, that they had a plan to do it, as it turns out they just lied to us the entire time. And now we have several of these you know, loudmouth senators who are going off and being like, 'Oh, no, I don’t really want to do this because of this, that and the other', and are kind of waffling about it. I mean, it certainly is frustrating that there isn't a conclusive policy action in order to fix all of these problems. And she is right that the substance in this bill is totally flawed. And it would, in fact, give unelected bureaucrats in Washington power to control how all 50 states spend all of their money, which is, you know, too much control in the hands of Washington."
