Quote:‘I love OBAMACARE!!’: Indiana GOP’s call for ‘Obamacare horror stories’ backfires spectacularly

Quote:The Indiana Republican Party got more than it bargained for this week when it put out a call on social media for people’s “Obamacare horror stories.”

The Hill reported Tuesday that almost immediately the comments on the party’s Facebook post began to fill up with people singing the praises of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) — also known as “Obamacare.”

Quote:G.O.P. Support of Senate Health Repeal Erodes During Break

Quote:A week that Senate Republicans had hoped would mobilize conservatives and shore up support for their measure to repeal the Affordable Care Act instead ended with eroding enthusiasm, as usually reliable Republican senators from red states blanched at its impact on rural communities.

With Congress set to return on Monday after a week’s recess, Republican lawmakers are increasingly aware that their seven-year promise to dismantle President Barack Obama’s largest policy achievement is deeply imperiled. Senator John Hoeven, Republican of North Dakota, signaled this week that he would not vote for the bill as written, following negative remarks from other senators with large poor and rural populations. That was the 10th defection.

Quote:In rural areas where people tend to be older and sicker and have lower incomes, many hospitals say they are already struggling to survive and would be hit hard by the cuts to Medicaid in the repeal bills.

“I talked with the marketing director of the small hospital in Greenville, Maine, yesterday at lunch,” said Senator Susan Collins, Republican of Maine, who has opposed the bill. “She told me that the hospital is the biggest employer in town, with 180 employees, and that it relies on Medicaid for 65 percent of its revenues. It is unlikely that this community hospital could survive the cuts that are in the Senate bill.”
