And without those shenanigans we would have gotten a compromise agreement.    Instead we got a polarizing bill that the majority of amercians hate.

I get the whole wasting money thing ....   But it's also funny there are people on this board who are all of a sudden worried about government spending.    It should be repealed and then a compromise negotiation needs to take place.

That was/is lip service. The Dems had a majority, they asked the GOP to participate. They did by saying they wanted no HCR. If you have a seat at the table and decline the invitation, you don't have any room to complain about getting left out of the talks.

As far as majority of Americans hate, that's probably more personal belief than polling. Even after six years of spin by the GOP, there's usually a 5-6% polling difference in those who support and those who oppose. And some of those who oppose do so because they think it didn't go far enough. That's not hate.
