Repeal of Obamacare is not a done deal. A few Republicans want flat-out repeal. Others a two- or three-year delay (which realistically means NO repeal). Some claim “repeal” that’s not repeal. For example, while in Washington, D.C. last week, I heard one Congressman support “repeal” but want to keep the law’s $3 trillion and spend it differently. That’s not repeal. One insider said many Members haven’t “gotten the message” of the election. True.

Although not all conservatives agreed with everything she said or did, her impact was undeniable. Phyllis often stood when no one else did, wrote what no one else would (the updated “Choice Not an Echo”), and kept the Constitution of the United States intact.
