Folks,
I am going to contact all of the members of the Freedom Caucus (Ken Buck is from my state) and personally THANK them for stopping the bill to tinker with Obamacare. I will also strongly encourage them to dust off one of the Obamacare repeal bills that was sent to President Obama and remind the other Republican members of the House of their prior voting record.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_Caucus#Membership
I’m glad Ryan’s bill failed.
If the Freedom Caucus had any interest in presenting a repeal bill why did they let Ryan beat them to the punch?
You are being taken for a ride to nowhere.
Yes.
If I contacted the Freedom Caucus, it would not be to thank them. They helped deliver a temporary appearance of vindication aka victory to the Democrats. They succeeded in throwing Trump off track and making his team look less capable. They highlighted the fact that with all three branches of government won by republicans, we apparently could not rid ourselves of Obamacare. This, in spite of voting over 60 times to repeal it, back when the GOP knew the vote was a moot point and empty gesture.
Kinda makes you wonder if the Freedom Caucus is in collusion with ‘unnamed allies’.
Dave Brat is my Representative.
100% Heritage Foundation score.
I already called him Friday to thank him, but can make more calls to the rest of the Freedom Caucus on Monday.
His office said the calls were 7-1 against Ryancare.
We know it was rearranging Obamacare in an attempt to preserve it to continue to keep the power that Fedzilla derives from controlling health care and medical records.
I can’t believe the number of freepers that wanted to hang Obamacare around their own necks and that of the GOP.
The bill was not repeal or replacement it was rearranging.
It is Ryan and his Uniparty eunuchs that presented Ryancare who are in collusion with the Democrats to preserve Obamacare.
Those previous votes were all dog and pony shows, they never had any intention of repealing Obamacare.
I'll pass.
Obamacare is still the law of the land and will probably always be. With all these factions in congress do you really think a virgin white healthcare bill will get through? Will Cruz or Paul primary Trump because they can slay this dragon?? Send them money now. Will Mark Meadows be Speaker? I think he’s got twenty votes for sure. Reagan would have taken half a loaf and yesterday the Republican party didn’t get a crumb. Today the mandate stands and phase 2 and 3 is really not coming. Oh and in Tahiti a skinny Kenyan laughed his ass off yesterday at this whole thing because his namesake lives
Since you believe in phases 2 and 3 I have some beachfront property in Kansas that might interest you.
You can send this message along as well.....
“They made the perfect the enemy of the good,” said Representative Roger Marshall, Republican of Kansas. “I don’t know how they can go back home and tell people they voted to keep Obamacare, voted to keep funding Planned Parenthood.”
Ryan and the GOP establishment was suppose to repel and replace Obamacare and not do the Democrats will of trying to fix this unholy POS with Ryancare. The Freedom Caucus did the right thing here in keep the promise they made to the voters in 16!
Starve Obamacare of all its funding during the budget talks and then Ryan and the GOP establishment will have no choice by to repel this crap as it will have no money.
2 and 3 never were coming. I’m glad the FC saved us from this insurance lobby sponsored bill.
“Oh and in Tahiti a skinny Kenyan laughed his ass off yesterday at this whole thing because his namesake lives”
Yup...you nailed it, but hey the Freedom Caucus won a battle (never mind they lost the war). And now they are going to hand out medals!!
First off, there was no vote. Trump/Ryan care never got to the floor for a vote. And that is a good thing because that bill only put lipstick on a pig.
They can go back home to their districts and PROUDLY tell their constituents that they did NOT vote for a crap sandwich.
Now is time for a real repeal and not the Trump/Ryan/Obamacare lite that was proposed. Send to President Trump the same repeal that was sent to Obama.
Pst pst, without phase 1 we’ll never know will we. And let m introduce you to Realville before you go to your beach
So yes, thank you FC. I pray God Trump isn't persuaded that they are his enemies.
It absolutely amazes me, that after 8 years of broken promises, and I don’t mean they weren’t able to succeed, they didn’t even try, people are still willing to hang their hope on more promises. Put some teeth in that bill and send it with a promise.
I’m glad also. Although some people like Herman Cain were saying that we should take this a piece at a time, in my opinion ObamaCare is going to crash and burn totally on its own.
Obama was secretly shovelling billions from Freddie Mac into Obamacare without anyone’s authority. He should be behind bars for what he did.
These real crimes have been committed to keep Obamacare afloat and now with President Trump, he won’t have his administration break the law to keep Obamacare going.
It’s going to be painful but the President is correct, it’s all on Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi and all the democrats and the media.
They can’t hang the albatross around anyone else s neck but their own.
I wish all the Republicans could have had the courage to repeal the whole thing all at once but a lot of them are like the democrats and they are bought off by big donations and they only care about their money and not what’s right for the American citizen.
