We already know that the House and Senate majority leaders will lie to pass a bill. They will not have a 2nd or 3rd bill to fix this mess. Once this passes, Ryan is done with it.
We need to get it right the first time!
Well, “republicans” are insignificant.
Ah, yes. Conservatives are the problem. What a surprise.
I’m all in with the Freedom Caucus. Ryan is bought and paid for by the insurance industry.
Exactly. This roll out by Ryan was exactly what the Dems did to shove Obamacare down our throats...complete with Rino's putting it together in secret and then telling the rest of us to shut up and "eat" our crap sandwich.
Americans should be disgusted with republicans, democrats, regulatory agencies whose non-elected officials generate regulations that have the weight of law, the increasingly political judiciary, and everything that runs counter to the Constitution of the United States!

Your name seems to be apt. What’s the point of replacing Obamacare with something as bad with the Republicans’ ownership on it? President Obama didn’t just promise to replace Obamacare, he promised specific principles that the new Healthcare bill would include, free market principles that would make it a successful plan over the long run (result in lower costs and higher quality). If the Freedom Caucus is not going to fight for this, what’s the point of their existence?
If they had to replace it then why didn't they take their time and do it right to begin with instead of throwing something together? They have had seven years.
The Free Traitor™ caucus more like it. Who needs them? Let Globalist Cheap Labor Express form their own meaningless party and GTFOOTW.
Sadly they probably win reelection in their districts although I think Harris in MD loses. Any chance of overturning Roe vs Wade goes down as well. Republicans cannot even fulfill this Repeal and Replace promise with majorities of such magnitude in the House. They really didn’t want President Trump to begin with and are reckless and feckless obstructionists, unable to compromise or work with anyone outside their bubbles.
The word conservative was hijacked by anti-nationalist free traders. The Republican Party wasn’t always so.
Ryan's version removes only two of the twelve mandates and leaves all the good stuff in bucket #3 that will never get passed much less come up for a vote. There is nothing conservative about Ryan's plan. It's simply the Republican version of Obamacare.
Well, what Trump promised was “repeal and replace”, with a “great plan” where “everybody will be taken care of”. If they simply repeal it millions of previously covered people who lost their old plans will be without anything. Many of those people were the ones who elected Trump. So Trump won’t sign a bill that repeals without a replacement plan. If he did he would be a one term president. People will judge them by what happens to them personally. They won’t blame the Democrats when Obamacare tanks, they will blame the people in charge at the time, Trump and the Pubs.
Pretty disgusted with this wasted opportunity. Guess they just can’t shake the GOPe mind set can they. 2018 could be interesting. More rinos or more dementocrats.
Do what Lou Dobbs said last night:
Kill this misbegotten bill and come up with a new one designed by Trump and his people in consultation with the Freedom Caucus.
Hang the Obamacare disaster around the necks of the Media and the ‘Rat Party.
Then promptly dump Paul Ryan and his fellow GOPe travelers.
Which “Republicans” would that be? The Linda-McLame wing?
Who really cares? The GOP is being reformed by Trump. The old GOP died last November.
Paul Ryan owns this disaster. He refused to show it to the Freedom Caucus and has been the usual pig headed my way or the highway idiot he has always been. The only thing that will be remembered in 18 is if Lying Ryan is still speaker and if he is goodbye majority!
Uh — whut? That’s the GOP leadership you’re talking about, isn’t it?
