McConnell: Obamacare repeal measure coming within weeksBy ELANA SCHOR 12/06/16 04:18 PM EST
An Obamacare repeal resolution will be the first item the Senate votes on next year, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Tuesday, underscoring the GOP's commitment to repealing the law even as its replacement plan remains unclear.
McConnell told reporters that repealing Obamacare would be "the first item up in the new year," and the Kentucky Republican that he would like to "get Democratic cooperation" during the difficult process of replacing "a very, very controversial law."

And "the new year" doesn't have to mean 2017.
The way he spouts off about stuff that never happens, I'll believe it when I see it.
And "Democratic cooperation" means...wait, what? Fuck off, you asshole.

They'll repeal it - with their 3 years in the future date of it ending - and their dimwitted followers will suddenly realize nothing has changed. Next up, the nonbuilding of the wall.
