Kill it, then set it on fire, then bury it. Make sure it is dead.
Republicans have trouble with spelling (along with honor, honesty, integrity, and having balls).
What part of “repeal and replace” do the never had real job losers not understand?
Good grief, they have the simplest job in the multiverse.
And the screw it up.
Kill the unconstitutional bill. Repeal obamacare and replace it with freedom or let it go bust on its own.
Ha. Forgot all about his ability to keep them in session...
“...he may, on extraordinary Occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them...”
Obamacare ain’t going anywhere
Meanwhile the Democrats are laughing their asses off.
President Trump is right. Let’s get this solved. We don’t need it to keep repeating as the issue in all future elections to decide who to vote for. This issue is a loser for Republicans.
The thing what kills all ‘save for the future’ ideas is inflation. I did save for the future when I first got married. First children were twins. Paid for Doctor and Hospital out of savings and the Doctor ‘on time’. The Doctor charged $35 per visit [for each child] and the hospital was a few hundred bucks. Hate to think of what I would pay today. Of course today’s starting pay is 20 times what it was after WW II.
Make a deal. Right now GOP is strongest.
They don’t want to actually repeal anything.
They want to rearrange it.
There is one solid reason the pubies can’t come up with a plan.....they know the president won’t VETO it! Bunch of *@#’s and need primary opponents.
Pretty exciting that the head of this Freedom group (that I’d never heard of 5 yrs ago) is clearly aligned with the idea of finding a way to get the bill through the House and the Senate.
I’d like to remind folks of 2 things. First, the Supplemental War Funding bills of the early 2000s. The far left wing DEMANDED that their Dem Senators obstruct it via filibuster and refuse to fund the war they hated.
They never, not at any point during the process, failed to support a supplemental for GW Bush continuing the war in Iraq. The left wing demanded it. The Dem Congress people ignored them. The reason: Americans would die.
Expect EXACTLY the same thing if Obamacare requires ongoing funding. It’s not going to die, implode, explode or any other word you can invent. It will be funded to avoid American deaths, unless repeal and replace is enacted.
Second thing to remind folks of is a guy named Ben Nelson. He was a Dem Senator from Nebraska in 2010. Reid could not lose a single vote to get his 60 and get bills in place (that he later used as the basis of Reconciliation). Reid made it happen with special projects and addendums to send Federal offices and various funding to Nebraska. All to get Ben Nelson’s vote. It’s why the Omaha district is not all that red anymore.
You can rest assured McConnell will do the same thing to get GOP Senators to vote moderate their amendments and vote for the final product. Kentucky’s Rand Paul represents his state and McConnell (also from KY) will have no trouble sending extra projects to his and Paul’s state.
Expect a big Rose Garden ceremony celebrating the Do Something Congress and the F**** Big Deal of Repeal and Replace — which can secure those non conservative, former Obama voters in the Rust Belt for Trump in 2020, without whom there can be no victory.
Exactly. If they actually try to legislate, then they own the consequences.
Not "the" bill (the AHCA), but "a" bill - he wants a bill conservatives can vote for, which the current bill ain't.
REPEAL Slavery AND REPLACE with Slavery
Not!
Amen, Jim! Shame to see some FReepers saying "make a deal."
Nobody is locked in. Any bill that can pass Reconciliation will be a winner. This guy is aligned with the goal of repeal and replace.
It’s going to be work, but pretty much everyone knows it needs to happen.
Y’all are utterly the same as the left wing base in 2010. The votes will be there. Any Senator reluctant will be persuaded, and his state will get some nice new office buildings.
Meanwhile the Democrats are laughing their asses off.

Yes they really are. It must be fun to be a dem and watch the silly Repubs try and pass a bill as bad as ObamaCare. If not worse.
It would not surprise me if some Rats crossed over and voted for RyanCare in the House and Senate. Just to watch Trump sign it. Then own it.
Then we have RINOCare. ObamaCare 2.0. Or TrumpCare as it will be known for.
Which will suck as bad as the original health care plan shoved down our throats.
That had occurred to me as well.
I think they are so anti-Trump, they wouldn’t vote for anything he backed right now.
I could be wrong about that though. We’ll see won’t we.
Sad to see some FR quislings preemptively surrendering on Zerocare repeal. Our Founding Fathers would puke.
