Hours away from a critical vote, House Republicans still don't enough support within their own conference to pass a bill that would partially repeal and replace Obamacare.

Let the Democrats take the blame for refusing to correct the deadly defects of Obamacare. They were and are responsible for this catastrophe.

Any, ANY legislation in this regard will just be used as a springboard from which Democrats can craft their socialist dream in the future.

Good.

Even though I do not what is in this bill, I support the process moving forward.

Strange position, I know.

I think Trump’s doing this purposefully to get Ryan out of the way.

Let it die, it is not repeal and would end up an albatross around Trump’s neck. Exactly as Ryan designed it to be.

So they all vote for Ryan to be the leader and then refuse to follow him. Interesting strategy...

He was the only one who agreed to take the job, no one else wanted it or had enough votes.

Why should our insurance premiums cover pregnancy, birth control and alcoholism. We dont want that.Why should we buy other people insurance when they have health care at the ER. Will we have to buy them a car and car insurance ( after a wreck) and paid vacations? Where am I required to pay a higher premium if someone is diagnosed with stage 5 cancers and buys in today? Can we buy fire insurance after our house burns down? What are these republicans doing? Can we see it first or do you just pass it before we can see it?

You are asking way too many logical questions. The “insurance” is really wealth transfer from the makers to the takers. REPEAL!

TrumpCare is WORSE than Obamacare because half of Republicans will have cognitive dissonace. With pure Obamacare, Republicans have no such issues.
