It’s the GOP that is DOA.

[ealgeone]

Surely Maine can do better than her.

Eventually we’ll have Soviet Union style health care thanks to the Republicans. And I’m sure the American people will not know how we got there, except that it will be the Republicans fault. Just as planned.

Ms. Collins, an Republicanundocumented Democrat, announced her opposition in a written statement, delivering a significant and possibly fatal blow to the party’s seven-year quest to dismantle the health law.

WASHINGTON — Senator Susan Collins of Maine said on Monday that she would oppose the latest plan to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, leaving Republican leaders clearly short of the votes they need for passage.

My how the NYT relishes this thought.

Well folks, Obamacare it is. We have the best health care in the world. Now we've embraced it for the third time this year.

Pffffft!

[gaijin]

I friggin hate the GOP.

[Williams]

Pivot on this Collins.

[Lurkinanloomin]

There was no repeal and very little replace in the bill.

The ACA would be amended, but live on.

just another pretty face. HA! https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5f/Susan_Collins_official_Senate_photo.jpg Traitorous wench!

[Pilgrim's Progress]

Yea, like we didn’t know what Susan Collins was going to do. Pivotal? snort! well, it IS the New York Slimes.

The Republicans are committing mass suicide for the nation to see. Each time they go through this exercise with each new version, it gets worse. I suspect many of the GOPe are going to be happy and if they lose the majority, they will also be happy as they settle back in the comfy chair as the token opposition.

[datricker]

Man I’m just so surprised. Who saw that coming?

[dragnet2]

[DoodleDawg]

Now that there are three who have said they aren’t voting for it watch four or five jump on the opposition bandwagon.

[lodi90]

McConnell should drag their sorry butts into the Senate Chamber and make them vote. Over and over. Until they repeal Obamacare. Of course he really doesn’t want to repeal so we get this kabuki.

[TChris]

No surprise.

There is a critical mass of RINOs in the party. Nobody should expect anything truly conservative from this congress.

[SoFloFreeper]

:-)

take this as a sign of opportunity, folks.

these failed GOP elitists are thinking there will be no consequences of their actions.

As many have pointed out, this bill is not as good as it could be (though I do agree with those who say it is a step in the right direction.)

I have heard over and over from the fakenews media that this is the “last ditch effort” to repeal Obamacare. As if Trump will be rendered helpless and the conservative movement to get rid of the Death Panels Law is going to with away.

Wrong.

We have now seen the faces of betrayal: Heller, Flake, Collins, McCain, etc. Their lackeys will pay the price even if they do not.

Let’s not forget the Democrats in Trump-winning states. They should be targeted for electoral annihilation, too.

The game is not over. We are not even through the first quarter of Trump’s term.

[Jim W N]

THROW THE BUMS OUT!!!!

And get REAL AMERICANS in there who will OBLITERATE OBAMACARE FOREVER!!!

[Rome2000]

Hate to keep stating the obvious but Trump could solve all of his problems with Congress in a New York minute with just one MOAB.

Or he could keep letting the likes of this subhuman and the rest of the scumbags on Capital Hill keep stealing our money and dicking us around.

No brainer.

[beethovenfan]

Ugly Susan screws the country again.
