Just use this one. It passed already.
If they wanted to get rid of it they would. Could pass in senate via reconciliation just like when commie care was passed.
Problem is, the RINOS don’t want to get rid of it.
They need 60 votes in the senate to pass that bill. They don’t have 60 votes in the senate.
At this point I’m just hoping that democrats don’t get 60 votes to enact single payer healthcare after the midterms.
Your history is not very accurate. Obamacare was passed by the senate with 60 votes:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patient_Protection_and_Affordable_Care_Act
Republicans don’t have 60 votes now. This Ryan bill was probably the best that could be done at the moment.
Obama simply did not enforce laws he didn't like. Trump should just order that no government department will use any resources to enforce Obamacare.
Repeal and just let the free market take over.
HAHA, that was then,
The GOP house passed many balanced budget resolutions too.
You see a balanced budget? You see a vote on one now?
Last, Trump is NOT calling for it(HR596)
Personally, I don’t get it: Remove the mandate from OCare, and pass a law authorizing the sale of any insurance policy in any state. Let OCare compete head-to-head, and watch it fail on its own - therby leaving 0 the legacy he deserves: L0SER.
The repeal and replace mantra is really annoying me. We never voted for replace. We voted for repeal. They think that if they keep the mantra going we will believe it. But, stupid we are not. They think we are, but they are wrong.
>> They need 60 votes in the senate to pass that bill. They dont have 60 votes in the senate. <<
Seriously, is this the first time you’ve been on this site since the ‘90s? The President of the Senate, that is the Vice President, can rule that the measure is a budget-fighting bill, and it passes with 50 votes.
Oh, and worry troll, suck on this fact:
The Democrats could win every contest in the Senate, and still be FIVE votes short of 60 votes.
If they wanted to get rid of it they would. Could pass in senate via reconciliation just like when commie care was passed.
Problem is, the RINOS dont want to get rid of it.>>>
former secretary of the senate said they can reconcile a repeal as well today on wpht in philly. the parliamentarians work for the secretary of the senate.
Republicans dont have 60 votes now. This Ryan bill was probably the best that could be done at the moment.>>>
former secretary of senate say it can be repealed in reconciliation. it is a tax. ruled as such by SCOTUS.
If this is the one passed and sent to obamas desk it got there with less than 60 votes.
also former secretary of the senate says (on local WPHT) it can be repealed in conference. it is a tax law scotus says so.
Obamacare is onn on life support. Please pull the plug.
