President Donald Trump reportedly warned Republican congressmen on Tuesday morning that many of them could lose their seats next year if they vote Thursday against the leading bill to repeal and replace key parts the Affordable Care Act.
Trump's stern message came during an unusual personal visit to Capitol Hill to spur wavering members of the GOP caucus to get behind the bill, known as the American Health Care Act.

Otherwise Congress keeps waiting for a perfect alternative, which they will never find and Obamacare will never get repealed.
If it doesn't do anything to reduce insurance premiums in 2018 for people who are dropping their coverage even now in 2017, then it's a complete waste of time and never should have been introduced.
Grover Norquist says Republicans will gain seats if the bill is passed:
My rep would be sure to get my vote if he voted against this monstrosity.
Republicans should know who brought them to the dance.
I am working night and day to kill that socialized RINO care. THAT IS NOT WHAT WE WANT?? Who are these RINOS? they are as bad as Demopcraps!! This bill SUCKS!!
REPLACE is NOT REPEAL.
Many Congressmen can lose their job on a poor Replace bill.
Somewhat fake news according to other sources. He was only saying it in jest.
Anyone that votes for that socialism to replace onbama socialism is a dead political duck!!
*NO TO RINOCARE* !!!!!
Setting up a new entitlement to buy health insurance is as bad - if not worse - than obamacare
if *everyone* gets an $8000 tax credit to buy health insurance the starting price for every policy is going to be $8000
Oh, Grover Norquist (he who never met an Islamic cause he didn’t want to advance) supports the abortion known as Ryan Care? Yeah, that sure reassures us that it is good for America.
Is this RyanCare he’s talking about?
Rand Paul and members of the Greedom Caucus have safe seats so what is stood to be lost is a Republican majority in the House. Democrats will stand by and let the GOP self inflect wounds, and if there is repeal and no replace, expect nothing but MSM sob stories (real or imagines) night after night about people who “lost” insurance because of repeal all the way up till Nov. 2018. Guarantee it.
Trump owns this now. We shall see what happens in the Thursday vote for RyanCare/TrumpCare.
“I am working night and day to kill that socialized RINO care. THAT IS NOT WHAT WE WANT?? Who are these RINOS? they are as bad as Demopcraps!! This bill SUCKS!!”
Agreed.
It was Barasso, and he specifically referred to the non-repeal of health care money going to illegals. This should be a no-brainer fix.
HOWEVER, none of us know what is possible as far as amendment/fixes to a reconciliation bill. I will give Ryan that.
I think Trump has erred to support the bill as it is, but with Trump you’re never sure what the “it” is. He has in mind the final product, we have in mind the monstrosity in front of us. That is, BTW, very much like a builder architect who sees the final shape from a block of mud.
I don’t know of any repeal bill.
All I’ve heard is repeal and replace.
Do any of you long timers know anything about Amy Swonger just hired by Trump.
