This is breaking on McConnel's twitter feed. Statement to abandon repeal/replace for a straight repeal with a 2 year delay to replace.
(Excerpt) Read more at twitter.com ...
The timeframe will be the dissolution of the republic because a full repeal stands 0.0000% chance of passing.
Even if by some miracle you got all 52 Republicans, Democrats would just kill it with the filibuster. I actually think you might actually get all 52 since by then it would just be another show vote, not unlike the repeal they voted on (and Democrats allowed) to get to Obama’s desk because they knew it’d be vetoed.
Good!
Except a repeal will not pass.
Bttt
That will give us time to boot out the deadwood globalists in congress by means of primaries next spring and summer.
And therein lies the problem...a repeal fails to get the votes to pass.
Two years my ass!
Worthless GOPe just wants sound bites and warm fuzzies!
Man up, Mitch.
Mitch the b!tch. Gth.
Put every last Congress critter and staffer into an exchange program tomorrow and this thing would be fixed yesterday. F what’s left of the vast majority of GOP e. I give few credit. Cruz worked very hard..and a precious few others. Toomey spilled the beans.
Collins will vote no the rest will get thrown out
There, all fixed. .
What you said. Caps. Bold face.
First, Repeal Obamacare!
I don’t know the specifics of Trump’s healthcare plan. But as I said, if it requires new federal government power beyond the scope of the Congress’s limited Commerce Clause powers, then the states need to decide if they want to ratify a healthcare amendment to the Constitution, something that Congress wrongly ignored when it established Obamacare.
Straight repeal? Call me suspicious.
Exactly right!!
Congress needs skiin in the game
“MAGA by restoring the America our Founding Fathers created, and nothing more”
I am encouraged by the President’s latest tweet (ignoring last sentence):
“Republicans should just REPEAL failing ObamaCare now & work on a new Healthcare Plan that will start from a clean slate. Dems will join in!”
Very happy he is not bashing the conservatives who are pushing freedom and choice and rejecting a Republican version of government-run healthcare.
Cruz caved and agreed to subsidize insurance companies, Lee and Paul did not.
Don’t be surprised if they way they structure it is that it is a repeal delayed for two years in order to provide a replacement, provided that if no replacement is passed within two years, the repeal is void and Obamacare remains in place.
