Yes, but bring the Replacement bill to a vote. If it is defeated and Obamacare continues, let those ‘RATS & RINOs who defeated its replacement OWN THAT VOTE. They can own it as Obamacare implodes & premiums, deductibles & co-pays explode. Remind their voters that they own it. Let them own it as the voters go to the polls in November 2018 after they've seen what their 2019 Obamacare premiums will be!

Let it be the anchor around their necks.

Why should the Republicans own Health Care if this bill passes?

Because it's their bill.

I’m still waiting for Obama’s promised $2,500 savings. Instead I now have a $5,000 deductible and “insurance” that essentially pays for nothing.

What do you think it's going to be under Trumpcare?

Precisely. The whole thing is sheer madness.

it has been estimated that all uninsured will be able to purchase affordable insurance that is actually functional when Obamacare is dead and gone

As if anyone in the CBO is friends with math.

One of the keys of the President's budget is $250 billion in savings by repealing and replacing Obamacare. The CBO is projecting savings less than half of that. The President needs to get out there and show why his math is correct and the CBO math is wrong.

Anybody can walk into an emergency room and get healthcare.

They can walk into an emergency room and get a physical? A mammogram? A colonoscopy?

Medicaid can be had by just about anybody claiming they need it.

If their income is low enough.

Thanks to the CBO’s history of predicting outcomes, we know from their 0bamacare estimates, that they are full of shit.

I get so tired of these overly simplistic statistics. First, I didn’t think 24 million were even on ObamaCare. Even if they are it doesn’t mean that they wouldn’t be able to get another, better, policy if ObamaCare was terminated. How many lost their coverage due to it? How many will quickly go back to something else?

...just all scare tactics and lies in politics.

There’s no winning this battle, apparently. An entire new class of government dependents has been successfully created, exactly what the dems wanted. I see only one answer. Let it fail, while creating draw accounts from the dept of education to subsidize those who can not afford the 9% year compounded premium hikes.

What they are telling us is by 2026, whoever lost their insurance and wound up buying Obamacare will be on other plans so they will lose their Obamacare insurance.

th the current Obamacare policies, one could not get any of those things because of the very high deductibles.

So, your attempt to argue is specious

People lost coverage when Obamacare came into being and the leftist msm doesn’t care about them.

Under Obamacare you are guaranteed insurance! Sure it costs $3,000 a month, has a $12,000 deductible, and you won’t be able to find any doctors or hospitals who will accept it.

But you have insurance, so STFU!
