I want to see which republicrats wont vote to repeal( were they lying to us?). We were far better off before obozocare. If you don’t have insurance you have two options.1. buy some. 2. go to the ER!!

I wonder if they’ll have the cojones to run, yet again, on repealing Obamacare in the midterms.

It’s the RINO / Arlen Specter strategy. Vote conservative when it doesn’t matter so you look conservative, then vote with the left when it’s critical.

“Lets get the word out to our representatives”

Do we really have such people? Seems we go through the motions of acting as if we do every couple of years, and the people we elect join the royals, adopt socialism, attend Democrat butt-kissing classes, and stab us all in the back. All the while claiming, no matter if they have the majority of not, and even the White House, that our wishes are simply too complex and the Democratic agenda will have to prevail.

Our votes seem to be part of the bread and circuses program to keep us thinking our opinions matter.

Of course. This article is juvenile in its naïveté. The facts also reveal that most of the GOP caucus is not conservative, and people here would do well to accept that fact.

here’s what i think:

The enemedia and RINO NeverTrump articles about this so-called “failure” are all delusional, and the best part is that they actually believe their own delusions.

I heard President Trump say a few weeks ago that his administration wouldn’t be addressing obamacare repeal and replace until late 2017 to early 2018 (basically when obamacare would be facing complete collapse), so I can’t wait to watch these fools freak the F out when his administration introduces a REAL repeal and replace bill 9 months from now.

As far as President Trump was concerned, RyanCare was nothing but a red herring intended to take Paul Ryan out of all future equations about everything.

RyanCare was a real abortion of a bill, written by the insurance companies who were the only ones who were going to benefit from its passage. The insurance companies clearly had this bill already in hand, and I feel certain had cut a deal with Paul Ryan BEFORE the election, fully expecting HILLARY CLINTON to be President, but believing that some Pub House votes would be needed to get the bill through the House.

RyanCare was actually SUPPOSED to have been HillaryCare, which was why the original RyanCare bill preserved 99.9% of obamacare, and it supposed to have been Hillary’s gift to the insurance companies, while simultaneously shafting Trump’s voters, who are the people who would have suffered the worse under HillaryCare/RyanCare, with even higher premiums than we pay now.

Ryan went ahead with HillaryCare anyway, thinking he could bulldoze the House into screwing their own constituencies even worse than happened with obamacare. If this had passed, Ryan also knew that it would totally sink Trump’s ship before four years was out, which was another major goal of Ryan’s, namely, to try to destroy President Trump before 2020.

The Conservative Caucus saved Trump’s bacon whether he knows it or not.

i think the uninsured risk pool should be proposed separately as an FDIC type insurance to cover insco loses. Maybe teamed up with tort reform. Paid for by insco’s. The more individual people you cover the less insurance you pay in order to incentivise individual coverage. This could be privatized and not government run. It takes car of people who lose insurance from work place issue and allows to insco’s to provide catastrophic and or other types of coverage for people that don’t have coverage. totally private setup by law. just my opinion. there are tons out there.

We have had the ER rule of treatment for 40 years.The government reimburses the hospital. We don’t want people dead in the streets.Never have.But I assure you that was 10 times cheaper than Rinocare. I do not wish to have my premiums elevated for parasites or preexisting condition. No WAY. The great thing about the ER is you wait for 8 hours. If you are not happy with that, get a job and buy your own inurance policy. The constitution is not like Russian ‘s!! You have no right to have a car bought by me , or a house, or a nice vacation our a insurance policy. But your own ,if your want it or go to the ER!!

It WASN’T successful!! They know Obama would veto it - it was a dog and pony show. That’s exactly what it is now too because it won’t get the support necessary to pass.

It was not a full repeal.

It was a reconciliation bill that repealed certain portions of certain paragraphs and subitems; a ‘partial’ repeal that could easily be reversed by a future democrat Congress needing no filibuster to resuscitate it.

A full repeal is about a page long. It is simply a law to take down another law. A full repeal renders the law it repeals so that it no longer exists on the books as a law.

A partial repeal leaves the original law in place even if certain portions of it are ‘repealed’ or more accurately, made ‘inactive’.

The 2015 reconciliation bill was touted as a ‘repeal’ but that was just Ryan pulling a gimmick so he could say he tried to ‘repeal’ it.

It was successfully passed out of Congress which is all that we can ask of our representatives and senators. Give President Trump the same opportunity to sign it.

Why didn’t they have this “successful” bill on Trump’s desk day 1?

Hint, it’s a farce.

I’ll bet anyone here $20 that it will never see Trump’s desk.
