Actually the GOP wants to take away ALL health care unless you are filthy rich. No matter the protest or anger it looks like the country will be facing the gauntlet over health care and just about anything else that makes this country livable.
One sure hopes the Minchin mans up and says no to this bullshit.

2. He knows he won't have the independence to do the job necessary in the cabinet position. Or the staff.
3. He knows how erratic "the boss" is and can be, therefore allowing him to be replaced without warning.
4. Democrats will remember he either flips or stays. If the latter and the Senate returns to democratic majority, he will be rewarded.
