The 188 regressive amendments were an outreach to get regressive buy-in.
It was, after all, their plan; developed by the heritage foundation and market-based.
but regressives decided that because of the man in the WH at the time that they would 
halt all sense and appearance of cooperation.
Now the regressives have had their chance to mold healthcare in their own image and 
they have failed, bigly. 
What they have left is just a smoldering, stinking pile.
And they mourn over it!!!!!
