Despite mounting pressure from the House Freedom Caucus to quickly repeal Obamacare, House Republican leaders insisted Tuesday morning that they would take a "step-by-step" approach to overhauling the Affordable Care Act.
The Freedom Caucus, a group of influential conservatives, publicly expressed their impatience Tuesday with Republican leaders for failing to schedule a vote to repeal the sweeping health care law. But GOP leaders are concerned about the political backlash that could come from swift and wholesale repeal of the health care law without having a replacement plan ready.

Go, Freedom Caucus, go Trump -- don't let the b****s grind you down.
This is completely inexusable. They have had seven years to have a replacement ready to go. This shows these rinos are all talk and no spine. Gutless cowards all.
I said before Roberts the traitor ever did his deed that he would do it and we would never rid ourselves of it because the GOP secretly was in favor of it. Anyone see anything that would debase me of that opinion?
Freedom Caucus?
Wow - what have any of those people done since they’ve been elected?
“They have had seven years to have a replacement ready to go.”
The all counted on (and many wanted) The Crook winning in November.
It’s pretty damned hard to “do” anything if you can’t get your legislation out of committee.
Shows once again why Lyin’ Ryan should never have been reelected speaker.
vote. let’s see them.
Bullschtein!
Do it and do it now. Sick of these pantywaists.
It passed both houses of Congress (simple majority on budget reconciliation) and went to Obama, who vetoed it in January 2016.
The main thing the bill did was to end Obamacare penalties and taxes.
It's a great idea to re-pass it since Trump will sign it, and to do so before the April deadline for filing 2016 income taxes.
I'm glad that the Freedom Caucus has proposed doing so. Gives me hope that it'll get done.
The replacement is called the free market.
Sadly, no
Ping to Post # 10.
The Freedom Caucus has proposed re-passing the bill repealing the Obamacare penalty which Obama vetoed last year.
The bill repealed the penalty, the subsidies, and the taxes.
Get ‘er done!
Thanks! Progress, I hope.
“Anyone see anything that would debase me of that opinion?”
Correction:

You’re a good FReeper and should not be debased. :)
Thanks I didn't catch that :) But I am getting old, senile and half blind, then auto correct does some strange things, but that was a doozie.
“But I am getting old, senile and half blind...”
Nonsense.
Always remember that you’re not ageing as in growing old, but rather, you are ageing as in fine wine.
Would that that were true, Dave. I have a driving license and a pilots license but you should have seen me trying out my new zero turn radius lawnmower yesterday.
