Not willing to put a vote on the record.
Not surprised.

Get rid of all aspects of Obamacare. People have no “right” to healthcare when it means taking money from someone else. Be a responsible adult, earn your own way and pay for your own damn healthcare.

Trump can always issue 300 million waivers until they get this right.

NO WAY should we EVER now pass a trillion dollar infrastructure fiasco placing on our children and grandchildrens back more mountains of debt! If the roads are is disrepair talk to State legislators! I’m sick and tired of spending federal funds on states that squander and their money on socialist programs! What about shoe gasoline taxes taking care of the roads? State a city taxes? Local taxes? To hell with the typical trillion dollar liberal spending bill as well.

No doubt a look into the dark caves and crevices of Congress would make regular citizens go mad in half a day.

Time to move on to the next mess and throw this into the back room for major surgery.

Time is short. Congress needs to treat the next 12 months like it’s the last 2 minutes of a ball game.

LOL, if that was Trump’s game, he is a sheer genius.

I’d love to see that play out...

A pure repeal would leave a lot of people without coverage, and would be politically suicidal.

Under Obamacare, millions of people are without coverage. They have been forced to buy "insurance" that costs 2 to 3 times what insurance cost before, with massively high deductibles, that no doctors or hospitals will actually accept.

1. Repeal Obamacare, every single word.

2. Allow anyone that wants to buy into Medicaid, regardless of pre-existing conditions. If necessary, subsidize their premiums so that they are the same massively high premiums that everyone is now forced to pay under Obamacare, with the same ridiculously high deductibles.

3. Force all Senators and Congresscritters into Medicaid.

Problem solved.

Ha, made this call two days ago on another thread....

But a funny thing happened on the way to the vote, after demanding all or nothing, Ryan ended up getting HIS bill hung on HIS neck because everyone started calling it RYANcare and RINOcare.....NOT Trumpcare as they were trying to advertise it.

I think this bill is going to get pulled under pressure from Trump. That leaves,Ryan with well deserved egg on his face for not bringing the conservatives in the loop to begin with.

This was a horrible bill that died a necessary death.

Let Ryan take the heat and try again in August when the news of astronomical Obamacare premium rate increases and insurers leaving the markets begins to leak out and the sticker shock hits the public.

Then there will be enough support to do a clean repeal.

In the meantime, Trump needs to separate Medicaid and ObamaCare with some divide and conquer scheme since most of the ObamaCare beneficiaries are defacto Medicaid recipients riding the ObamaCare train.

Separate and decouple the Medicaid riders from ObamaCare and all you have left are the poor middle class schmucks supporting the system and the chronic HIV cases who are the real intended beneficiaries of ObamaCare
