Republican senators say they don’t see a way to get healthcare reform over the finish line, even if the House passes a bill this week.

A senior GOP senator said the chances of getting 51 votes for legislation based on the House healthcare bill are less than 1 in 5.

It may be a good thing if it does not pass.

ObozoCare will collapse under its own weight, as every socialist program always does eventually.

Then the law will be repealed by its own demise..................

As John Galt said,”When you see the lights of New York go out, then you will know we have won.”

Same with ObozoCare...................

The House isn’t sending over a repeal bill.

There isn’t an Obamcare repeal in the works. At best is a new improved version of Obamacare and that’s it. Prices of policies and deductibles wont drop a dime.
And the “individual mandate” is replaced with a “continuous coverage requirement”.

It isn’t a “repeal”. Meet the new boss....same as the old boss.

Pass a bill, any bill, of the general topic of Obamacare repeal/replacement. Then fix the result in the Conference Committee.

I disagree. This bill is aimed at giving states the latitude to impose changes that will reduce premiums and deductibles.

Nobody in the Senate gave Donald Trump 1 in 5 odds of winning last year, either.

If it fails in the senate the American people are stuck with Ocare — until it completely collapses. Trump is in the catbird seat; he did what was necessary to replace this disaster. Nobody can blame him now. The monkey in on the senate’s back.

the swamp guard senators consider themselves a country club and Trump is not invited. Mcain and his drinking buddy graham are poster children for the out of touch and indifferent politician class.
