Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) signaled that Republicans will continue to offer amendments to change the Democrats' healthcare law even if Wednesday's repeal vote fails as expected.

Graham and Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), a doctor, introduced legislation on Tuesday that would allow states to opt out of the law's individual mandate, employee mandate and Medicaid mandate.

In a speech on the Senate floor on Tuesday, Graham said he "looks forward" to having the opt-out legislation considered as an amendment.

“I look forward to casting my vote to repeal and replace,” Graham said. “If that does not work, I look forward to having my amendment, along with Sen. Barrasso, on the floor of the Senate, allowing states to opt out if they choose.”

2. The radical party of going backward

Is there anything that they promote that moves this country forward??

3. I have a crazy idea...

How about some prominent Dem ask them point blank what they want to replace it with? Just one.

4. Did he signal by tapping his foot in a Senate men's room stall?

Just asking.
