Tom Cotton tweeted some very wise words this morning to the House leadership, telling them it’s time to start over on the Obamacare repeal/replace and do it right:
1. House health-care bill can't pass Senate w/o major changes. To my friends in House: pause, start over. Get it right, don't get it fast.

2. GOP shouldn't act like Dems did in O'care. No excuse to release bill Mon night, start voting Wed. With no budget estimate!

3. What matters in long run is better, more affordable health care for Americans, NOT House leaders' arbitrary legislative calendar.

I couldn’t agree more. This is just too important to get it wrong. This isn’t about politics, it’s about the American people and Tom Cotton is right to suggest that’s where the focus should be.
