By the way, I was torn on this, but reluctantly concluded that it was probably best for the President if this legislation failed. That doesn't mean it was necessarily best for the country, because it's at least theoretically possible that this legislation might have helped a few Americans somewhere down the line.

Notwithstanding that, I believe that Speaker Paul Ryan wants Trump to fail, and will sabotage the President any opportunity he gets. Paul Ryan probably saw this as a golden opportunity to hand "Trumpcare" around the President's neck, and help ensure that he only served one term.

But that doesn't automatically mean that the HFC behaved well, because the fact is, the dream bill of the HFC would never pass the full House...

Agreed there has to be compromise HOWEVER the bill needs to be ripped out by the roots FIRST!!! There NEEDS to be some sort of high risk pool for pre conditions, what I don’t know HOWEVER everyone has to have skin in the game AND illegals should NOT receive healthcare if they want healthcare they NEED to go home and get it!!!! There was a story not that long ago about a woman from Dominican Republic pregnant, found out she had Zica Virus baby infected, had a sister here on green card right before baby is born she jumps on a plane has baby here and WE the tax payers are NOW responsible for the lifetime of care that child will receive!!!! This kind of CRAP has to STOP!!! We have Vets that are suffering and WE are letting them live in the streets with NO HELP!!! These vets have been separated from their families on MULTIPLE deployments to HELL on earth, they come home and WE turn our backs on them YET take care of EVERY DAMNED illegal crossing our border!!! SHAMEFUL!!! YET this stinking bill had NOTHING to prevent the benefits for illegals, it WAS in the bill but retracted WHY???
