NOW: ‘Discussion Draft’ of Healthcare Bill to Be Revealed Thursday
thegatewaypundit ^ | Carter

Posted on 06/20/2017 2:18:07 PM PDT by davikkm

Senate Majority Leader, Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) announced on Tuesday that Republicans would see a discussion draft of the healthcare reform legislation on Thursday.

McConnell also declared that the press would get an opportunity to see the bill on Thursday. This addresses numerous concerns from the Democrat leadership that Republicans are keeping the bill secret.

McConnell stated at a press conference today:

“We’ve continued our discussions on the way forward on healthcare, as all of you know, because I’ve reported it weekly. For weeks now, we’ve been in intense discussions with all Republican senators, both in working groups that all members were free to come to if they chose to, and in the larger lunches that we have on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.”

The left will call out its forces. Marches in the streets. Speeches in congress. Angry denunciations by moronic liberals. Fake-outrage discussions on TV talk shows.

RomneyCARE/ObamaCARE must be repealed by the EXEMPT.

But they will not.

They are liars - Traitors, who spend more time
ATTACKING THE PRESIDENT then honoring their promise.

With so many GOPe a complete repeal would never happen. McConnell would never go rhe nuke option. So I guess this is at least a good move. Still keeps Government in total control and that I do not like.

Get them all in one place and MOAB. Problem solved. Maybe at the same time they can hold a #BLM, Antifa and AAPAC rally. But I repeat myself.

Yes, because I remember a LOT of public information released and a LOT of Hometown Meetings conducted by members of the Socialist Democrat Party and Prez. 0bama when they were shoving 0bamacare down our gullets via smokey back room meetings and midnight votes!

STFU, Socialists! We WON! YOU LOST! Suck it! :)

What the House developed, passed by four votes.

If some folks think we’re going to get anything better than that right now, they’re stoned.

I’d love to see repeal myself, but it isn’t going to happen, and if Trump was Jesus on earth, He couldn’t so any better as a man.

The sentiment in the House and Senate is what it is.

I wish folks would quit spewing “REPEAL” as if they are the first ones to think of it. S T H U

If you want nothing done fine. Whatever happens from here on out will be blamed on us. We either get some small fixes in place, or we take the heat.

As policy costs increase, who gets blamed for that? Obama? LMAO, no, Trump will now.

Folks, get a grip.

Life is what it is, and at times there just isn’t a quick fix.

>>McConnell would never go rhe nuke option.<<

I don’t think he needs to here because of the reconciliation procedure being used. But I wouldn’t bet against him going nuclear when it gets to passing a budget bill. The days of kowtowing to the left to get a budget passed are over, in my opinion.

I could also make a pretty good case that doing away with the filibuster would lead to better, more bipartisan, legislation. We’d get some centrist Democrats on board if they knew that it only took one or two of them to get a bill passed, instead of the eight or more it takes now.

Government has been in control for years. What do you think Medicare and Medicaid is?

The very day Trump was elected every bit of the bullet points on "health care" found on his campaign site that actually bore on the real issues disappeared from public view and not one word of it has been seen since anywhere -- not on his transition site and not in a single policy pronouncement since. There were multiple entreaties made to his transition team on this exact point during those months including by people I've cited here and who were "supposedly" part of the group he was going to consult with. Those meetings were canceled folks and they have not been rescheduled six months later.
