Do they do the bidding of the health insurance companies that have given them so much financial support by keeping (and perhaps strengthening) mandatory coverage? Wouldn't that piss off their base? Or do they try to get mandatory coverage eliminated, which would piss off the insurance companies? I don't see how Republicans are going to thread this needle. What do you think?
This is why one has to admire the GOP. They will probably opt for keeping and perhaps strengthening mandatory coverage, but will use their talk radio/FOX mouthpieces to convince the voters to pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
