WASHINGTON (AP) -- House Republicans, short of votes, withdraw health care bill.
--End--

Will somebody please educate me as to what happens if Obamacare fails? My take on it is the law does not in effect fail. Rather all the insurance companies pull out of states with the Obamacare group in place. That means those states will then be single supplier insurance states. That means Obamacare did not fail, it succeeded in getting rid of purchased policies. SINGLE PAYER, ie. the gubmint.
Thank you Freedom Caucus for standing against Obamacare II
Many Pom Pom donning cheerleaders round these parts were fully ecstatic over the no accomplishment rendering wormy Pubus because hey “ he’s one of us now right?”
Yep. This is a win for Obama.
Rove is the scum of the earth.
The shameless dishonest repubs once again prove that6 they are capons, geldings, castratos and other derisive descriptors. These weak sisters had 8 years to put together a market-based health plan. They promised to repeal nobamacare. They apparently continue being pathetic liars...and poltroons. What losers. To top it off, ryan (the worthless one) has only scheduled 5 or so “work” days this month for these self-primping pimps. Did I say liars and losers?
A win for Planned Parenthood.
Exactly. Trump, Ryan, and all the other Republican’s for this bill deserve egg on their faces for trying to dump Obamacare 2.0 on us.
I just heard that Trump is the one who told Ryan to pull it. The fact that he is even working with Ryan bewilders and angers me.
I hope Trump learns a valuable lesson today. You say your a man of the people? Then listen to them and keep your campaign promises.
Its not health care it’s health INSURANCE.
If they cared about health care there are numerous steps that could be taken to get the outrageous costs down.
Best possible outcome
This Ryan rag of a bill had a 17% approval at worst, and 27% approval at best according to “polls”.
How bad can it be to pull a dead thing out of the plumbing?
“I could be wrong, but I still remain unconvinced Trump didn’t see this coming.”
Heck, I could see that and I’m no political expert.
The problem is that as far as I can see, it’s not fixable. The goodies have been given out for 8+ years and our media will howl if even one transvestite doesn’t get his/her/its sex change under any new bill. The articles are already written.
RYAN NEEDS TO GO. RYAN, ROMNEY AND THE OTHER REPUBLICAN ANTI-TRUMPS ARE TRYING AND SUCCEDING IN DESTROYING THE TRUMP ADMINISTRTION.... WE NEED TO GET THEM GONE.
It is interesting watching C-SPAN taking phone calls from the public while they are waiting for Ryano to speak. They are almost all parroting what liberal MSM has been repeating over and over ..... mostly false facts.
Ryano needs to be gone.
Good point.
You’ll have to admit though, he was sure there were more RINOs in the House than there turned out to be.
197 RINOs and 40 Conservatives
We won!
The republicans have now proven without out a doubt that they are unable to govern when they are given everything they said they needed. Why in the world would anyone vote for any of them as they only know how to say no and as a result obamacare is now a permanent fixture in our lives and democrats will inherit congress in two years as at least they know how to get legislation passed into law.
That’s why there needs to be choice. Create the all of the above options and low cost, catastrophic options and let people choose. Obamacare and this bill stuffed everyone in to one package. Pay for all of the above and pay a high cost for it.
So, people calling into CSPAN are saying they want single payer and to choose their provider too?
Is anyone calling them stupid?
This is the problem with healthcare...the American people. It’s time we were called out on it.
We want everything, all the bells and whistles...no compromises.
But we don’t want to pay what that costs.
It’s a sure case of collective insanity.
Trump fought the swamp...for a brief time...but the swamp won. It destroyed him very quickly. He was no match for it.
There will be no sane immigration policy or wall...the leftist establishment stopped him with nothing but pissant district judges. Goresuch will be filibustered, and Senate Republicans, seeing Trump bleed out before their eyes, will not stop it. There will be no tax cuts - dead before arrival.
Trump will accomplish nothing, be utterly and totally destroyed within two months by the All-powerful oligarchy - the establishment - and the country will get to be the firmly ruled socialist state it wants to be, with open immigration to make sure the current majority demographic is pounded down into complete submission and third class status. Islam is about to have a hey-day here, sure hope the Mexican drug cartels eventually beat them...
Trump is done, finished for good. He had to win. He’s done nothing except lose over and over. He won’t survive it.
Do they really WANT to repeal Obamacare, or did they just pass it because they knew it wouldn’t get signed?
