Senate Republicans Commence Health Care Blame Game

Frustration overtook Senate Republicans on Tuesday as the reality sunk in that they had failed again in fulfilling a seven-year campaign promise to repeal the 2010 health care law.

And senators were looking to cast blame wherever they could find it.

They decried the time constraints of the budget reconciliation procedure they chose to advance a bill with only Republican support.

They chastised Democrats for their lack of assistance, despite making no serious effort to work across the aisle during the past nine months.

They blamed the top-down approach to negotiating the legislation that leadership employed.

Some criticized the carve-outs to states whose senators were skeptical of the proposal, a strategy that resulted in near daily updates to the already complex legislation.

Hastert, referring of course to admitted pedophile and ex-convict Dennis Hastert, the initiator of the Hastert Rule.
