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.

They are less capable.
I will send the Freedom Caucus my Obamacare imposed very high insurance bill. If this bill would have passed, I was ready to discontinue very expensive insurance for kids which they do not need.
Obamacare will succeed(the primary goal, peoples’ health be damned) bankrupting the country.
It can't and won't crash and burn so long as the FED can print unlimited Treasury bonds and give the money to the gubbermint to spend. The rich-donors controlled career politicians will make sure the healthcare insurance & pharma keeps making beautiful profits.
Over at the Conservative Treehouse, Sundance says it perfectly...
The Freedom Caucus has become one of the best tools for the BigClub and the autocrats, they just don’t know it!!
Nope. Obamacare will succeed in arrival of single payer system. Only way to prevent is to repeal Obamacare before it strains the federal budget any further.
We are still waiting for the enforcement and border security that was included in the Simpson/Mazzolli amnesty bill in 1986.
passage of this thing would have made Trump look worse (which I believe is part of Ryan & McConnell’s intent).
It is Ryan & the other RINOs who are colluding with (known) allies (in this case, the insurance lobbyists).
Insurance companies are no longer private enterprises, thanks to decades of influence & control by govt). Anybody who thinks that government involvement leads to anything positive should examine the trajectory of insurance premiums over the years.
Who has more ties to George Soros, Freedom Caucus members or RINOs?
I would not have voted for the bill if it appeared as is after reconciliation. I would’ve voted for it to get to the senate and keep the process moving forward.
I work in healthcare and Obamacare is a disaster. It also is very damaging to my son financially. He is a contract chemical engineer.
We now have Obamacare with no immediate chance to fix if it or even make it less harmful to US citizens. Mark my word we will finance the shortfalls of this horrible law for the foreseeable future. I hope you’re right but I don’t see when anything changes. When it does I’ll thank them.
Freedom Caucus members are now known as the ObamaCare Republicans.Who would have thought, Hillary would have to lose for ObamaCare to survive.
It is a pipe dream that a 'real, true conservative' health care plan will be passed. It would require a minimum of 8 Democrat votes and it WILL NEVER HAPPEN.
If ObamaCare is ever replaced, it will be replaced with a far more left plan than what just failed. If ObamaCare collapses and Republicans do not bargain such that nothing gets passed with Democrats, ALL Republicans will own the suffering caused by the collapse.
Freedom Caucus screwed up, BIG TIME.
“They can go back home to their districts and PROUDLY tell their constituents that they did NOT vote for a crap sandwich.”
Given that, over the past 6-7 years, the Freedom Caucus has not been responsible for ANY meaningful legislation, they can go back and say “Honey..we did nothing AGAIN...what’s that, a message from the Koch brothers !!!
“I would not have voted for the bill if it appeared as is after reconciliation. I wouldve voted for it to get to the senate and keep the process moving forward.”
The bill would’ve come worse from the Senate. There is no point in giving life to an even worse bill than what was presented.
“Freedom Caucus members are now known as the ObamaCare Republicans.”
They have earned it...just a group of hopped up, drunk with power useful idiots. They are getting played like a violin.
You are very fortunate to have a rep who truly understands free markets AND who truly wants Trump to succeed.
It’s Brat’s opponents (whose primary goal is self-preservation, NOT the interests of the American people) who want Trump to fail. Ryan and Romney are cut from the same cloth, still smarting from their humiliating defeat. Priebus was in no way instrumental in Trump’s victory and the Ryan/Romney defeat proves that.
I think it was more than just the Freedom Caucus that killed RyanCare. My Rep is a mod/conservative non-member and he was 100% against. At least that’s what his staffer told me on the phone.
I think the only supporters were from the Boehner/Ryan/Cantor caucus.
And give the Koch Bros my warmest regards.
“why did they let Ryan beat them to the punch?”
So they could vote against it and it would fail..notice who had an op-ed posted at the Washington Post an hour later...Ted Cruz(and Jeff Roe-campaign 2020)...this was designed to hurt Trump and help Cruz in 2020.
So all of you Freedom Caucus supporters need to speak up,... are you supporting President Trump? or are you working for the Ted Cruz 2020 campaign????
(and don’t spin the BS that you are defending freedom or some other war related narrative...it;s getting real old)
Ryancare was the vehicle to preserve Obamacare, it will collapse and it will not be called Trumpcare when it does.
