The legislation would reduce the budget deficit by $44 billion over the next decade, according to the Joint Committee on Taxation, because without the mandates, fewer people would get government-subsidized health insurance

that would cut spending

If the GOP takes the oval office, then maybe this won't crash and burn in 2017, but Jesus H Christ... anybody else tired of this limp- ed, go-nowhere grandstanding? Congress may be trotting this out like it's substantially different than their 50+ prior limp- ed grandstanding efforts to kill Obamacare, but it's the same ol' . Instead of parading these still-born bills for fundraising purposes, they could actually try to do some real legislating. How about a feasible budget proposal, for example?

Nobody told them Obummer is still the prez? I guess there's nothing better to do...

Fail. Sorry, but you're stuck with Obamacare for foreseeable future.

This futility is the Repugs campaigning, not governing.

44 billion in 10 years...
