Well, the fallout would be forgotten by 2020. So that would be good.

But we’re getting CLOCKED with follow up cancer treatment for my wife NOW!!

Went from hundreds to thousands.

The cancer was removed. The SEVEN years after now is very expensive too as most of it was under obama.

The House Conservatives need to

(a) not allow Senate procedural rules to determine the measures put forth in their bill,

(b) tell their GOP Senate colleagues to pass their version even as limited by the Senate rules,

and (c) consider that the House objections could be overcome in the joint House-Senate reconciliation bill where different Senate procedures would apply as regards its passage in the Senate.

Obamacare centralized insurance in a few big companies, as is common with big government programs. Those big insurance companies are now too big to fail.

The plan of the far left is to double down and merge the insurance companies into an an even bigger single insurance company... a medimae or medimac similar to fanniemae/fanniemac.

Are there more than 50 Republicans who have the brains (or cajones) to strategize a better political path?

Seems the Republican “leadership” and the Democrats have a lot in common: When you find yourself at the bottom of a hole, keep digging. Unlike Trump, they just don’t know what to do when they win and can’t figure out why they occasionally do.

very bad.
imo, the only quick fix would be to dump the parliamentarian and repeal the whole thing

As long as they don’t send him anything to sign his hands are clean. He’s out there going this is a “great” bill, a “terrific” bill. If they don’t pass it, he can say they couldn’t even get that done. But, I don’t know what Mr. Trump is doing, but I know he games stuff like this out well in advance. He knows all of his options in any contingency and he never asks a question he doesn’t already know the answer to. He’ll be fine.

Your mistake is assuming the beltway GOP wants something fundamentally different than the Dems. If there is anything Ryancare shows us is it that the exempt GOP is just fine with Obamacare.

I suspect it’s not going to unfold this way.


I won’t believe Ryancare fails until it fails. We’ve seen this movie before and the GOP leadership has been able to bully enough folks into supporting them.

This is not small stuff, and the House must spell out who can legally receive govt benefits, and put a check in place to ensure eligibility.

Or the damn bill can burn in the gutters of hell.

Ryan didn’t get in a hurry... he kept the bill hidden until he pulled it out at the last minute... he wanted to pass it like he wanted it to be. He told everyone this was the only way they could win ANYTHING towards the bill. He is one of those who has said “we can’t impeach”... “we can’t bring it up for vote”... “they’ll just block it”... “they’ll just filibuster”... so in the end, Ryan did nothing that would be a problem for him... for he CAN’T.

I don’t trust the man yet... and probably never will.

Why "Wait. Just wait" ? I'm tired of the don't worry that it's crap, they'll fix it spiel. How about we just not settle for half a$$ed anymore? The hell with this fix it in three stages with all the real fixes set off until stage three and requiring enough demonrat votes that will never happen to pass.

“Jury still out on Trump since they have brought in Gorelick to the family.”

And don’t forget that now Ezekiel Emmanuel is now advising Trump. The guy who wrote Obamacare.

You're joking right?! ETHICS?! Gorelick?! NO, just no.

Why on EARTH should these slime illegally here get anything at all, except a swift kick in their butt and a rough passage back to wherever they came from? I freakin’ hate Ryan and how he is chipping away at this legislation until it will look like Obama’s people wrote it.

I was kind of shocked when I found that out tonight about Dr Death.

I guess I shouldn’t be.

What’s next???

Consultation with JarJar?
