What's in a name

The discussion surrounding the Senate health care plan once again illustrates that party is more important than country. Rand Paul says the new plan is nothing more than Obamacare 2.0 and Chuck Schumer says "The way this bill cuts healthcare is heartless”, Schumer after saying he would not work with the Republicans said he would if they drop the word repeal. The Republicans have said for years they want to repeal and replace but that would make it a Trump thing and no democrat wants that. The democrats are ready to fix but not repeal. It appears that semantics has become more important than what is in the plan. The republicans will not agree to any plan that is not called repeal and democrats will not accept any plan that is called repeal. Shakespeare would laugh.
