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.
We let another entitlement out of the bag. That toothpaste will not go back in the tube. You will always have some sob story paraded out there of where someone with zillion $ a year cancer lost their coverage.
That is why it will never get repealed and we can never go back to how it used to be.
Healthcare is officially broken and only two options as I see it is a total collapse or Govt bail out that will bankrupt what is left of the nation.
Meanwhile I cannot afford to get my knee fixed even with insurance, oh but I am insured.
The thing that makes me the most mad is you work to help the GOP get control of the Govt to try and stop the slide Left, and the insane spending on hand out social programs that do not include me that really buy votes and make people depend on Govt and then the GOP can’t get its own ducks in order to pass anything good or bad.
Now what happens on Tax Cuts? Same BS. It will be labeled as tax cut for rich because that is what Trump is. Class warfare all over again and the GOP won’t be able to unite around this either. We will lose the house and senate in two years, Trump will be completely stopped and some new Dem socialist dope gets elected in 2020.
I feel like a stranger in my own country. I didn’t leave America, it is like America left me.
Nonsense. Not one penny can be expended by this government unless it has been appropriated by the U.S. House of Representatives.
The Republicans have had the power to repeal Obamacare since they took control of the House in 2011.
That is the simple fact. Everything else is just political theater.
“”Repeal Obamacare immediately, go back to the way things used to be.”

Obamacare was passed originally with just 51 votes. Don’t fall for that lie. Remember we elected Scott brown robing the democrats of their 60 vote majority just before the vote.
Instead of conceding to the wisdom of the electorate democrats just used an arrcane procedure to get around the 60 vote requirement.
Republicans can repeal and they can afrod to lose 2 votes to do it. That said those 2 senators should be primemaried as backstabbing traitors who can’t be trusted on any campaign promises..
