Okay, so it passed. Now it goes to the Senate where Obamacare Lite becomes Obamacare Even Less Lite. Big freakin’ deal.

there were 2 Democrat Yes votes at one point, but they came off the board after they got to 216.

I don’t think this was as close at it appeared.

“•A “continuous coverage requirement” instead of an individual mandate”

Oh, that’s completely different. Instead of a mandate that I buy insurance, its a -requirement- that I always be covered.

And of course, premiums and deductibles will never go down a thin dime.

LOL. I thought at first they were angry Democrats. My audio was terrible and I could hardly hear it.

Yes I now believe it was the Rats signing thinking the republicans will lose the House as a result.

I think those 2 Dem votes was a trick trying to fool a RINO into thinking he could vote ‘no’.

now off to the senate for THEIR version of this.

(ie meaningless tax credits, meaningless preexisting conditions rules, politician praising victory through inaction, and slight of hand obamacare entrenchment.)
