“Yeah, well thanks to Chief Justice Roberts - ObamaCare IS constitutional.
Hell, as I think about it - I would NOT be surprised if some black robed thug wouldn’t up and rule a repeal of FUBOCare is unconstitutional.”

Given what we now know about the CIA tapping probably EVERY congressman, senator, and judge’s phone, TV, and computer, it’s really no wonder Roberts does what he is told.

“The stupid bill doesn’t even ban illegal aliens from using Medicaid! That is TENS OF BILLIONS per year! They just let it go on and on.”

I had the same thought earlier today. The money saved by not allowing people who have illegally entered our country from using Medicaid, would probably pay medical bills for all the low income CITIZENS of our country.

You’d better also add that we knew he wasn’t going to make most of us criminals for refusing to give up our firearms, which Hillary absolutely would have done.

I don’t know how you keep passing this falsehood that it will take 60 votes to repeal. They would need 60 votes to end the filibuster but NOT TO OVERTURN. And with the nuclear option it could end with a simple majority’s.

I don’t know if it is to save face with respect to Trump being a fiscal liberal by trying to soften what this actually is or truly just don’t know. You know Pubus and Ryan are childhood friends and Pubus filling Trumps ear about this abomination. He definitely swayed Trumps stance on this. This will take a simple majority to either over turn the law or unfund it completely. So please stop hitting thread by thread with a RINO defeatist attitude and state was is truthful.

It would be uncommon for a bill this important to not get massaged along the way.

You can trash the house bill and rightfully so.

But where is Senator Cruz’s Bill? Where is the Senate Bill?

It's time to start using a bit of leverage on Senators rather than trying to deal with them like they're adults who give a damn about what they promised to do and whether or not they represent their constituents.

I'm sure there's plenty of dirt around about Uniparty Senators and I'm also sure there are more than a few people who would welcome an opportunity to spill the beans. Someone just has to quietly let it be known that such information will be welcomed and once it's shown to be the absolute truth, the person bringing it forward will be rewarded.

Then I've been misinformed.

This is but one place I've seen that 60 votes needed reference. I'm seen this requirement elsewhere also.

A complete repeal of ObamaCare is currently impossible. The House Freedom Caucus can push all the repeal bills they want, but they cannot get a repeal bill through the Senate because they cannot get the 60 votes needed. Period.

Trump also promised that “everybody will be taken care of”. Now some people here spun that as meaning the government would pay for everyone’s health care, which he didn’t mean. He was talking about those too poor to afford insurance on their own and are now dependent on it. The fact is that tens of millions of people who lost their old insurance from work are now enrolled in Obamacare. Just repealing it and leaving those people in the lurch would also be a political disaster, and a violation of Trump’s campaign promise. The RATS designed Obamacare to be as difficult to unravel as possible, and they did a good job at that part. If it’s simply repealed the RATS with help from some conservatives will just block any new bill and wait for the fallout. I think that’s the reason Trump want’s repeal and replace to be simultaneous.

GREAT Links. Thanks for posting.

I certainly hope President Trump is presented with a clear option to sign off on a bill to replace ObamaCare.

And in time - I trust the Repugs in the House and Senate can get their act together and deliver a decent bill.

But based on these links today?

It won’t be anytime soon.

“And in time - I trust the Repugs in the House and Senate can get their act together and deliver a decent bill.”

NO!

The only decent bill is to remove the ILLEGAL actions of the federal government and return healthcare to the states or the people thereof.

Government forcing an individual to buy something is ILLEGAL!

Forcing an individual to buy a car is ILLEGAL!
Forcing an individual to buy an iPhone is ILLEGAL!
Forcing an individual to buy a house is ILLEGAL!

Forcing an individual to buy healthcare is ILLEGAL!

See the comment by dangus in post 33.

I think he’s on the right track here by having Congress DENY funding for ObamaCare.

And I might add, remove any and all enforcement provisions and you’ll have 20,000 plus pages of the Affordable Healthcare Act that are as worthless as used toilet paper.

Problem solved.
