it was also several of the GOP moderates and liberal republicans who were claiming this went to far in undoing parts of O’care for their liking.

What were those specific things?

But 109 FReepers will declare victory when the rest of the world knows it’s over.

Just like "the rest of the world knew it was over" for Trump on the morning of Tuesday, November 8, 2016?

Rumors of Donald Trump's political demise have been greatly exaggerated—repeatedly—for about two years straight now.

This wishful thinking has been propagated primarily by the Democrats and Media (but I repeat myself); but there is also a contingent of the bitter—whose preferred candidate didn't win—who can barely conceal their glee whenever there is a setback for the President.

So the second-guessing will continue as the armchair quarterbacks hold forth—from their incredibly well-informed vantage points—on this lengthy 3D chess match...

The uniparty rinos have been paid off by the insurance companies and could not change the bill that the inusurance companies wrote.

Pure corruption. That is why a bill could not be passed by the conservatives.

My Congressman was one of the GOP moderates who wasn't going to vote for it. He never explained why, but it wasn't hard to figure that out:

Only 16% of his constituents supported the Ryan bill.

The logical next step is some form of Single Payer to get the Democrats to vote for it. Great. Thanks freedom caucus.

It isn’t, Trump didn’t get elected on lowering taxes.

Obamacare is going to collapse very soon, the premiums are going to raise considerably.

The GOP can start taking the Bill apart in small bites, like the mandates and taxes on medical equipment.

No Obamacare for me. I chose freedom and a different direction when foolishness passed.
