Louie Gohmert is one of the best in Congress, and his concerns are valid. This bill is simply Obamacare 2.0 and we need to stop it so we can get real repeal.

The Republicans have the courage of Patton when they sent a repeal of Obamacare to Barak Hussein knowing he would veto it. Now we have a President who will sign it and the cowards won’t resend the same bill. It’s not easy being a conservative, they are now as always their own worst enemy.

Republican and conservative, if they were ever grouped as one and the same, have LONG been separate.

I DON’T KNOW what republicans stand for anymore.

Louie Gohmert is right,

This bill is a n Insurance Lobby bill so they can regain their former command position in national healthcare.

No way we should re-surrender national health care to the Insurance companies. They enjoy state-centric monopolies.

Make the Insurance companies compete with each other, lift the state line restriction NOW.

If not, the GOP will become a joke. So will president Trump.

Why, exactly, is President Trump reneging on his promise to scrap Obamacare?

It's like he's forgetting the people who voted for him.

Though I agree to a large extent, they still were/are important for cabinet appointees and judges, esp. SCOTUS.

But budget wise? obamacare? Forget about it.

I dont know why RINOs keep beating real conservative primary folk in the senate runs.

Open primaries or ‘vote splitting’. Here in Tennessee; several conservatives run in the primaries, they split the vote, and the moderate/RINO sneaks thru.

Gohmert is right!

Ryan is just a FratBoy in the PHI BETA RINO fraternity, and and his fellow RINOs just want a Toga party.

OPEN has got to go!!! it makes no sense!!!!

Vote splitting is just crazy!

We need a strong leader to tell those who have no chance of winning to get the hell out of the race.

I recently came across a James Madison quote that I can’t put aside. Paraphrasing:

The really great danger to liberty in the extended American republic is that each individual may become insignificant in his own eyes - hitherto the very foundation of republican government.

As it happened, I voted for Trump last November but left blank the congressional portion of ballot. I’ll never vote rat, but that doesn’t mean I have to vote GOP.

Without knowing, it appears I exemplified Madison’s fear. The republic might be beyond salvation when someone like me, who, over a long life, never missed an election, decides he will no longer participate in the charade of supposedly representative, Constitutional government.

I can’t speak for other states, but in MS it was because they openly cheated and lied their azzes off, paid ‘rat voters to vote in the run-off against the conservative candidate Chris McDaniel, smeared him, and put their support behind a senile old fool, Thad Cochran, who can’t even find his way around Congress without a guide. The GOPe really came out in the open in that race, and I will neither forget nor forgive. Haley Barbour, amongst others, took the mask off.

“If we don't get the more important parts of Obamacare repealed, what’s really critical is the prices of the insurance won't go down. The deductibles won't go down. It will still be hurting Americans,” Gohmert warned.

This is all anyone needs to know. If the GOP doesn't pass an ObamaCare replacement bill that actually fixes the sh!t that is pissing people off in this country, then they ought to leave ObamaCare in place and let it go down in flames.

"Why, exactly, is President Trump reneging on his promise to scrap Obamacare."

I believe,the President promised to repeal and replace the ACA with something "fantastic". Mr. Trump seems to live more for "the deal" rather than pure conservative principles.

President Trump through his Secretary of HHS working with the Congress is scrapping Obamacare and providing the replacement the people desired.
