All Republicans now want
Pre-existing to come back
Problem!
Governor Rick Scott
“You can run but you should not lie”!
The 217 Republicans
that you voted into office back in
2008, 2012 and 2016
to
‘Repeal the
Obamacare’
did just that!
Republican governors
like Florida governor
did the same thing!

Governor Rick Scott
“You can run but you cannot hide from the truth”!
The problem is that
Pre-existing positions,
it was buried inside of the Healthcare Bill
and you knew this!
Pre-existing
positions come back to haunt key Republican candidates!
During the
Republicans' health-care push last year, the party's political calculus was
inherently risky.
The GOP majority, throwing caution to the wind, voted for a
wildly unpopular bill, written in secret, that would've hurt millions of
families -- on purpose -- and that was rushed to the floor without so much as a
single substantive hearing.
House Republicans
were well aware of the risks.
They knew how many Americans would lose coverage.
They knew the bill faced long odds in the Senate.
They knew there was a chance
Donald Trump would sell them out and abandon their bill
(which is exactly
what he did).
But some in the GOP
ranks demanded the party press on anyway.
"Let's get this f--king thing
done!"
Rep. Martha McSally (R-Ariz.)
reportedly told
her colleagues ahead of the vote.

positions come back to haunt key Republican candidates
