Please call your members of Congress and tell them to vote NO on this disaster.

(202) 224-3121. Call your local office as well, and email them.

They will tell you that this bill is better than Obamacare. It is, but only marginally. Obamacare 2.0, as Rep. Justin Amash called it. They could do so much better.

It retains the Cadillac tax — although it’s deferred to 2025. It repeals the individual mandate, yet re-enacts it in a different form by including a 30 percent penalty when you re-insure after being uninsured. IOW, the mandate via the back door. And refundable tax credits ARE subsidies.

Way too much like Obamacare. Only marginally different. The Republicans own it now.

I don’t want to tinker around the margins. I want to get rid of it. All the more reason why we must kill the bill, and we must kill it with Republican votes.

How about re-passing the 2015 repeal bill that Obama vetoed? Apparently, it had enough support to pass, so why not pass it now when you have complete control of the government?

Even better — the Paul plan.

Fortunately, I don?t think Ryancare will pass the Senate, even if it gets out of the House. I believe there are already three Republican senators against — Cruz,. Paul, and Lee. I wouldn’t be surprised if Sasse turns out to be a no vote also.

They might not even get the opportunity, hopefully. Amash has already declared against the Ryancare plan. Hopefully, the Freedom Caucus will stand against it.

Yepper, both President Trump and my rep, Luke Messer. I voted for both of them, didn’t vote for Ryno. Sent them strong messages.

Ryan picks an odd time to come out from under his Cone of Silence and `lead’ hmm?

OK, we buy a new house. On taking possession, we see something we didn’t see during inspections, and it wasn’t disclosed except for, “You have to buy the house to see what comes with it!”

There’s some sort of large, ferocious pitbull mix chained behind the storage barn. It’s growling deep in its throat, snapping at air and seems to be foaming at the mouth.

“I heard it, but thought it belonged to the former owners,” says Mother. “Why didn’t they take it?”

“Let’s adopt this dog. We can do it!” says Paul.

And I’m reminded of one of my mother’s favorite expressions when one of her children proposed something similar: “Let’s pretend like we did, but don’t.”

To the tune of $14,000 even to those who pay no income tax. But we conservatives are supposed to LIKE income redistribution when the GOP proposes it. It's only evil when the rats propose it.
