THREE YEARS!

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. Republican senators are leaning towards a plan to delay the effective date of an Obamacare repeal for three years, a senior Republican said on Wednesday.

But some conservatives in the House of Representatives think that is too long to wait for the end of the Affordable Care Act, as President Barack Obama’s signature health insurance program is known.

“In the Senate, there’s consensus for three years,” Senator Orrin Hatch, chairman of the chamber’s finance committee, told reporters, saying it could take that long to work out a replacement for Obamacare. “It takes time to do things around here.”

Republicans in both the House and Senate say they want to repeal Obamacare early in 2017; it will be the first order of business in the Senate in January, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, a Republican, said on Tuesday.

SMH. These Republicans never learn. They need to learn from the Democrats and ram it through while they have the votes. You may notice that 3 years is after the mid term election and the GOP may not control the Senate then. Heck, if they pull this stuff, they may not control the House either.
