Nos: Murkowski, Collins, Portman, Capito.
Slimes loving this.
Time for trump to blow it up. Eliminate every single bureaucratic regulation that has been put in place to bring us Obamacare. Go on television and call it DEAD, and KILL IT. Then congress can do whatever they want and Trump doesn’t care either way.
It’s time for a new political party.
Trump has said: We (Team Trump) will NOT own Obamacare. He is RIGHT.
I want these RINOs FIRED. Sleazebag turncoats.
I am really disgusted that these people elected to represent, ONLY represent themselves. What a bunch of self serving turds. They are all JOKES of the human race.
McTurtle knew it wouldn't pass before he suggested it.
*By suggesting a certain failure, he could claim that "he tried."
Would this bill have simply repealed Obamacare without replacing it?
Since the whole ObamaCare debacle is unconstitutional, the sates need to simply stop submitting to it.
Turtle has the power to whip the senate members into line and he should. If Murkowski isn’t going to vote for repeal then she needs to lose all the committees she’s on and rethink her position.
This is the time for hardball.
Trump has call out the GOP...They went on for 8 years about how they were going to repeal this because that’s what their base wanted
Trump’s is ready to sign it and now that the GOP has the opportunity they’re pulling this crap
Couldn’t Trump repeal all the exceptions that were added to the original bill by executive order?
Quite amusing, all of this. Basically, all these nincompoops are arguing over the best way for people like me to pay for other people’s health insurance.
My wife and I are self-employed and we pay for our insurance out of our own pockets. We looked at ACA as an option and realized just how crappy it is. The lies these scoundrels will tell you about how vibrant the California ACA exchange is boggles the mind. OK, so there may be 23 providers but all of their policies suck eggs. No thank you.
So we really don’t care about what this incompetent federal government wants to do in the way of health insurance. Then I guess all we’re waiting for the ax to fall on how much more we’re going to have to pay in taxes to fund our fellow citizens.
Pathetic.
Just now in DC:
Trump: “I’m going to just let Obamacare fail and the dems can own it, not me.”
Works for me!
Keep in mind Freepers this is The NY Times. So that automatically means it’s fake news.
Ryancare 2.0 failed yesterday. The Republicans now are talking full repeal finally!
Anyhow, the NY Times wishful thinking is that the full repeal is already dead. I would not put a lot of stock into what the NY Times hopes is the case.
Executive Order replacing all healthcare plans for federal employees with their pick of Obamacare plans. All branches of government. Immediately. Watch the gridlock vanish.
Have the vote done. Let the RINO’s go on record as opposing repeal so we can repeal them in the primaries!
The individual mandate needs to go.
The nation did just fine without a federal individual mandate in 2013, 2012 and 2011. Obviously, it was (and is) unnecessary.
We can deal with Medicaid problems after freeing the nation’s people from the unconstitutional and improper individual mandate.
They PASSED the repeal bill through both houses back when they KNEW Obama would veto it. Now that they have the WH, too...
Just the latest evidence that the GOP establishment are self-serving, despicable POLITICIANS who couldn’t care less about the greatest nation on earth.
They ONLY care about reelection and punching their ticket on the GRAVY TRAIN in DC.
