Maybe you should take a course in civics before you complain about nonsense. A president simply doesn’t have the authority to unilaterally dismantle a U.S. statute. Congress has to do it. Trump has done what he is able to do under our form of government. One of the first things he did was have the IRS ignore the Obamacare requirement for those tax forms that verify compliance with the individual health insurance mandate. I’m sure he will do many more things through his HHS secretary if no bill passes in Congress.

REPEAL. Its just not that complicated.

Seriously. What's the problem, people? Rip Obamacare out by the roots and return health care to the free market.

The end.

Why are Koch Bros offering to pay millions to Reps who vote AGAINST RyanCare, if Ryan is funded by Koch Bros?? Just scratching my head on that one ;-)

Ryan’s fault for NOT listening to his Base.
Same problem Bush had.

Good. Start tax reform and send health reform back to the drawing board.

Seriously. Like no other President EVER foobared a piece of legislation. It’s a mistake, and can be corrected.

Blame Ryan and his GOPe tards for this failure for not bringing a bill they had 7 years to work on in which they sent to Obamabi over and over again. They then take 7 weeks into the new Admin to work on the true bill all the while the public is sayin wtf? Why didn’t it come day one such as the one you sent to Obambi? I’m glad and ecstatic the freedom caucus is standing its ground over this treachery.

Here is the actual text of the bill

It is hard to understand why any Rep would object to it given all of the process issues related to reconciliation and the fact that we only have 52 Reps in the Senate, some squishy. The Freedom Caucus is a Koch brothers funded operation.

Trump should just pull the plug and have a long memory. Trump has just suffered a major defeat. There is no parsing or rationalizing it.

Of course he doesn’t have that authority, but he also doesn’t have to go all in on an UNMITIGATED DISASTER of a healthcare bill. It’s not an either/or proposition.

Then it’ll serve the purpose of flushing out the traitors so we can work harder on Cantorizing them. Repeal Obamavare!

No repeal, no peace!

Lock them all up in a room and work it out. Trump could have a big success here IF he stops with deadlines, sides with the conservatives and truly negotiates a bill.

And Trump takes 100pc of the blame if that happens.

What the hell is he doing.

It’s crazy.

I have so much respect for him, but this has been an absolute disaster.

Freedom circus? Have you gone mad? Is that what the libe are now calling the last bastion of conservatism in the house and Senate? Kinda like disparaging tea party members with the ever popular tea baggers moniker? How lovely, we have gotten so caught up in the cult of personality that our conservative principles have been cast aside (if they ever truly existed) to just “pass something” because it’s a win form”our guy”

You sound like the GOPe

Full Blown Obamacare.

With the possibility the RINO’s and RAT’s joining together and voting
to keep funding for Obamacare.

Trump screwed us.

Isn't Pence pushing this too? So it's both of them?
