What is the matter with these people?!

Repeal Obamacare immediately, go back to the way things used to be.

Then there is plenty of time to come up with something else.

Repeal Obamacare immediately,
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That is not in this bill.
There is a bill by Mo Brooks bottled up in committee to do that, but that stands less of a chance than this rearranging of Obamacare.

Note it is the liberal Republicans who do not want even a rearranging of Obamacare.

It’s not that they can’t kill Obamacare, they won’t kill Obamacare.

The failure of Congress to fix ObamaCare (let alone repeal it) might actually work in President Trump's favor this year. I can easily envision a scenario where the 2018 renewal period in late 2017 becomes such a disaster that the Trump administration starts issuing blanket waivers for almost any medical insurance plan that is offered anywhere in the U.S. -- regardless of whether the plan even meets any ObamaCare requirements at all.

As an astute Freeper pointed out in the last couple of days ...

When the U.S. government orders its citizens to purchase something that: (1) few companies even want to sell, and (2) few people can afford to buy -- then there's no reason to even maintain the silly fiction that it makes any sense at all.

Cannot be done. Senate rules require 60 or more votes. Never get the communists Democrats to go for it. Some of the bill can be reversed with the simple majority, 51 votes and that would be all that can be done. Not much but better than nothing. Hopefully we might be able in 2018 get some Republicans to outvote Democrat that are up for reelection.

I knew this would happen. Make the HFC happy, and now the squishy "centrists" will bail.

The Republican party is almost as Left wing was the Democrats.

I guess they'd rather get crushed by angry voters in 2018 than actually start working for the American people.

The GOP in Congress deserves whatever happens to it at this point, because if the House Freedom Caucus is on board, then there's no problem with the "right".

That must mean that there is some measure of positive benefit to the legislation, and so now the "centrist" Republicans (aka the "progressive" GOPe) will balk because the bill has apparently become "too right wing".

We're screwed. This is an absolute fiasco. Maybe the Democrats deserve to take over the House, because the House GOP can't seem to unify in any meaningful way.

The nation voted the Republicans in and gave them unified government on a silver platter, and what does the nation get in return? A Congress that is going to betray both its President and the People.

I've never seen a bigger bunch of gutless cowards. The Congressional GOP doesn't even deserve the power they do have.

I'm absolutely through with the Republican party and Congress if they don't get off their Socialist asses and start trying to make America great again...

The Republicans will never change. Let’s find a group of moderates to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. They will suffer the biggest loss ever in the midterms. Republicans fear the Scepter, Democrats are driven mad by the mere wafted scent of it on the evening breeze.

The GOP and Pres. Trump PROMISED to repeal
GOP-created RomneyCARE/ObamaCARE which
will shortly be TRUMPCARE if Gorelick/Ryan get their way.

Go back to the last one that had unanimous support. Oh, that’s right, they knew it would not get signed by the president. Trump should ask them for that last one and see them squirm.

The option of the GOP is repeal the Obamacare act or nobody will ever trust them on any campaign promise ever again.

You can’t spent 6 years and 3 elections campaigning to repeal a bill only to fail to do it upon actually winning control of all the necessary parties.

Theses RINO’s need to be kicked out of the party and told they will never receive a dime of Party support in relection if they don’t get bind the party’s plege.

That way at least the Republican party can claim to have voted to keep their word, and that the Opposition parties, to include these RINO’s vetoed.

This bill (once again) did not sound so great..

Potential loss of coverage for pre-existing conditions for those states that chose to go that route. (Should people be forced to move out of their homes to another state just because their state chose to no longer enforce coverage for pre-existing conditions?)

Ability for insurers to charge “older” people even MORE than the $18-20K / yr with $6K deductibles they are already suffering under (I know..I checked the rates) Obambicare says they can charge “older” up to 3X more than “younger”. The “improved” plan allowed 5X. No thanks.

Gee..why wouldn’t anyone want to vote for THAT?

I hated Obambicare with the fire of a thousand suns when it came out and still do, but it is FAR BETTER THAN ANYTHING THE REPUBS HAVE PUT ON THE TABLE.

Anything short of full repeal is DOA IMHO. I’d support full repeal, but all we have seen so far is a bunch of bought and paid for politicians trying to find ways to give the insurance companies even MORE of our hard earned $s.

Be nice if they created a plan that actually would HELP the American people, which neither of the last two plans from Wiley Coyote Super Genius / Evil Genius Paulie Ryan has done.

Some advice for the RINO’s in Congress. You were able to get a bill to Obama’s desk because you knew it was a fiction. Do your fiction again. Pass a complete repeal and let it get to the Senate where it will be stopped by a RAT filibusterer. You get credit and Republicans get an issue that will give them a super-majority in the Senate after 2018.

Several things wrong with Obamacare 2.1:

- obamacare remains. It is not a repeal, as was promised in the campaign and passed by two prior congresses.

- it dumps the hard decision making to the state governors; a cowardly way of dealing with the pre-existings and the community ratings.

- does nothing about buying across state lines.

Eddie Munster Jr. (Paul Ryan) has proven time and time again that he does not have the leadership ability to do the job of Speaker Of The House.

It’s long past the time when he should have been replaced.

If he was an honest man wanting to do what is right for the country he would immediately resign as Speaker.
