Please call your members of Congress and tell them to vote NO on this disaster.

(202) 224-3121. Call your local office as well, and email them.

They will tell you that this bill is better than Obamacare. It is, but only marginally. Obamacare 2.0, as Rep. Justin Amash called it. They could do so much better.

It retains the Cadillac tax -- although it's deferred to 2025. It repeals the individual mandate, yet re-enacts it in a different form by including a 30 percent penalty when you re-insure after being uninsured. IOW, the mandate via the back door. And refundable tax credits ARE subsidies.

Way too much like Obamacare. Only marginally different. The Republicans own it now.

I don't want to tinker around the margins. I want to get rid of it. All the more reason why we must kill the bill, and we must kill it with Republican votes.

How about re-passing the plan Obama vetoed? Apparently, it had enough support to pass, so why not pass it now when you have complete control of the government?

Even better -- the Paul plan.

Fortunately, I don't think RINOcare will pass the Senate, even if it gets out of the House. (They can lose 21 Republican House members and 2 Republican senators.) I believe there are already three Republican senators against -- Cruz,. Paul, and Lee. I wouldn't be surprised if Sasse turns out to be a no vote also.

They might not even get the opportunity, hopefully. Amash has already declared against the Ryancare plan. Hopefully, the Freedom Caucus will stand against it.

“How about re-passing the plan Obama vetoed?”

Here's Tom Price Secretary of HHS:

What's he doing?

He's making an "argument" that goes like this: See that there big stack? The big awful ACA. And see that little stack? That's our bill.

And you ask, what's that supposed to mean?

The Independent caught it: "Larger pile of paper bad, smaller pile good

In fact, they seek to add that little pile to the big pile.

If Trump signs this then he is not nearly as smart as we thought. This is a disaster, Mr. President.

Obamacare 2.0 is a gift to illegals. Oh, and GOP? You LIE.

RINO-Care: A more insolvent version of Obamacare … except this time GOP owns it

List of 24 Regulations from CRS – almost none of them are repealed

We want Obamacare gone. We want the Feds out of medical care. It’s a disaster and only get worse with their continued interference in the market.

It’s over for Trump, if he signs this. Not why the American people put him into office.

The Republicans have been trying (or at least appeared to be trying) to repeal Obamacare since 2010. Hell, there was even a government shutdown over it. The Democrats have been parroting their usual sound bytes about tax cuts for the rich, throwing poor people off health insurance, and playing up every sob story.

And look what happened. The Republicans now control all branches of government on the federal level and have won big at the local level.

So anyone with half a brain should realize that just straight up repealing Obamacare will not only not hurt politically but help big time.

Yet a bunch of fake paid protesters at a few town halls and some fake polls and despite all the victories now the Republicans are scared.

Un*(&!@#!@ Believable

What was put out so far might as well be a set of “feelers” that will be fought over and modified via the process. We may be able to steer some of the modifications if we apply pressure.
