Congressional Republicans are only interested in winning this game they’re playing. They’re oblivious to the effects of what they’re doing. The American Medical Association, AARP and others with a true interest in the people affected by the (hopefully unsuccessful) repeal of the Affordable Care Act have been trying to stop them, but they’re in their little bubble trying to put one over on the Democrats.

Shame on them!
