The GOP has had 7 years to work on the repeal of Obamacare and now that they have full control, they still can’t seem to get anything done. We want Obamacare repealed now!
NBC reports:
The House of Representatives delayed its vote on repealing and replacing parts of the Affordable Care Act after Republican leaders failed to rally enough support to pass the bill, sources told CNBC.
The GOP House caucus will meet at 7 p.m. ET on Thursday to discuss its path forward, NBC News reported. A vote on the legislation is still possible on Friday, NBC said.
The postponement is a sobering setback for Republicans, who aimed to pass health-care legislation before moving to other parts of their agenda, particularly tax reform. The GOP had timed Thursday’s now-aborted vote to the seventh anniversary of the passage of the ACA, popularly known as Obamacare.
The White House gave the House Freedom Caucus a final offer Thursday in its effort to win enough votes for the legislation. As of Thursday afternoon, Freedom Caucus chairman Rep. Mark Meadows told reporters “there are not enough votes” to push the legislation through.
Less than three hours earlier, the White House said it still expected the vote to happen Thursday.
Paul Ryan is purposely trying to destroy the GOP. He must resign from his position as House Speaker.
What’s been stopping him until now?
True.
You got it!
Obamacare is a TAX bill, not a health bill...research it...
They present some false "solution" to a disaster created by Congress to begin with written in secrecy, by unknown liberals, to their party without holding hearings to get feedback from the public, aka "we, the people," who are the only ones forced to live under their "laws!"
They then demand "it's a take ir or leave it deal," meaning we'll get our big donors out to defeat you come primary or general election by refusing to help you get reelected!
Stand your ground Freedom Caucus, ignore the BS by everyone!
Time to "vacate the seat," for the awful "Speaker!"
It is a House Bill. It originates in the House, under the leadership of the Speaker. Trump has not said anything against the group of conservatives who are trying to make this bill to actually reduce cost of healthcare.
It could be true that the Ryan bill is better than Obamacare and CBO forecast says it will save almost $400 Billion in gov’t spending over 10 years. But we need more than that, which is to actually reduce premiums and cost of healthcare.
So repeal the god damned thing! Trump is 100% on board with this horrid bill. Did you hear Spicer today?
that alien with giant ears needs to be voted OUT!!
