We need a repeal and not replace plus laws regarding pre-existing conditions, portability, etc.
We do not need another government health program. The republicans have long since caved in (again in true gop fashion) on that issue.
GOP have had 7+ years to have this legislation ready. What have they done, nothing, again as usual.
No one is going to care about delays if it passes. The GOP is far ahead of the schedule the Dems had getting Obamacare passed, and they had far bigger majorities.
The Scott Brown event only gave the GOP 40 votes in the Senate and forced Reconciliation from Byrd. McConnell has far fewer votes to deal with, but his skills as Majority Leader have been nothing less than awesome. He almost alone is why we don’t have an overwhelmingly liberal USSC.
One more time, idealogues.
The healthcare bill has to do only 2 things to hold both Houses next year. Trying for more almost certainly loses the 2nd of those 2 things.
They are:
1) It has to reduce premiums.
2) It has to pass both Houses.
Nothing more reqd.
‘What have they done, nothing, again as usual.’
My guess is they probably thought Prez Trump would lose the election.
