Full title: "Graham-Cassidy is dead. Stop treating Obamacare like the enemy and help get Americans health coverage"
We may never know how many Republicans in the U.S. Senate would have voted against the latest ill-conceived and disruptive proposal to ”repeal and replace” the Affordable Care Act.
But we know the three whose public opposition kept the measure from reaching the Senate floor this week — Susan Collins of Maine, John McCain of Arizona and Rand Paul of Kentucky. Although they disagree sharply over what to do about the ACA, they all deserve the country’s thanks for stopping lawmakers from heedlessly leaving millions of lower- and middle-income Americans unable to afford coverage and sending the market for non-group policies into a death spiral.

And shame on those "Republican" senators who scuttled the Senate vote to repeal Obamacare once and for all.
Any replacement would have been fine, they could have tweaked it later, the main point was to repeal Obamacare now.
we can SAVE Obamacare, we just need to Fully Implement it and give the Uniparty exactly what they are asking for.
I believe President Trump should Call their Bluff and Force the Issue.
When and ONLY WHEN Government Lives under the Same Laws as us will anything substantial happen
OBAMACARE Can be Saved!!
There are about 22 MILLION Public Employee’s Nationwide that are Ineligible for Subsidies, this infusion of New Paying Customers will SAVE OBAMACARE. the SEIU and every other Public Employee UNION fully Endorse Obamacare and have held numerous rallies in support thereof.
Let’s Give them what they want!
I believe our Public Employees deserve the Best Health Care America has to offer, and that is the Official Government Health Care Plan, Obamacare. So why don’t you quit pussyfooting around and Proudly Proclaim your desire to see that ALL Federal Employees receive the Finest, Most Affordable Health Care the US has to offer, OBAMACARE.
All the Money currently wasted on these inferior high priced cadillac plans can be diverted to the Wall.
There is ONLY ONE WAY to make it happen:
Executive Orders or Legislation, the chance of CONgress doing it are the same as OJ Confessing, so I am choosing Executive Orders.
1. All waivers to the Affordable Care act are hereby repealed.
2. There shall be NO funds drawn from the treasury to pay for Health Insurance for ANY Federal Employee except Members of the Armed Services.
3. ALL Federal Employees except members of the US Armed Services, SHALL purchase their own personal and Family Health Insurance from the Affordable Care Exchange in the state they legally reside.
4. There shall be NO Medicaid Reimbursement funds allocated to any State that does not have 100% of their Public Employees enrolled in the Affordable Care Act.
And to make sure it is Bipartisan, President Trump should VETO it every Time and FORCE them to Override his Veto to Repeal this Monstrosity.
Sign these 4 orders and it will be FULLY REPEALED in Less than 30 days.
NOT UNTIL, Anyone want to make a BET???
When and ONLY WHEN Government Lives under the Same Laws as us will anything substantial happen
Target them all(God has McCain in his sights) for a ejection at the polling place.
Sorry, L.A. Times — this isn’t over.
Rand Paul behaved despicably. If he was going to deny us even the chance of escaping Obamacare, he should have renounced his taxpayer-subsidized platinum healthcare plan. But to say, ‘I have mine, screw you,’ is disgusting.
It actually is over. Deal with it.
Obamacare is the enemy and must be destroyed.
Deal with it.
Not by a long shot.
That Sept30 deadline means nothing. It can be easily bypassed.
My post was meant for the delusional “fantasy writer.”
We’ll try again when lying piece of crap McCain is dead and the NJ senator is convicted.
Graham-Casdidy is dead because McCain is still alive.
I generally call the Los Angeles Times names, and disagree with it stridently.
It's a little difficult when they're spot on target.
Those who telegraphed they wouldn't vote for it, just gave the Left the best gift of 2017 so far.
Just damn!
All you Republicans in Congress, don't even talk to me about Obamacare anymore, you lying bastards.
The fact is these Republicans are Obamacare supporters.
The LA Times can shove it.
Wasn’t Ted Cruz a no, too?
Well, this or something like it will pass, once McTurd is out of the picture.
Until then, letting the Democrats continue to own it almost makes the Republicans look smart. It’s still Pelosi, Obama, and Reid’s baby.
Social security and medicare funds are on life support and are not going to live. So the Times wants to hurt people to pander votes.
Typical liberal thinking. Out goes the baby with the bath water.

Exactly. Demand it from legislators. Add Congress employees, congressmen. (lotsa luck) Failing that E.O.
The Repubs own Obamacare now.
If nothing is done the dims will crow that the repubs had a chance to 'improve' it and failed.
One way or the other the repubs need to do something .
How many people on the editorial board of this rag are on Obamacare?
Stop funding Obamacare, it will die shortly.
