” Either Members vote for what emerges from the House and Senate, or live with the status quo of ObamaCare.”

This is THE problem! And it only take two Rand Pauls to queer the deal in the Senate.

I hope the House bill is part one of ending Obamacare, rather than this article being part one of a discussion on a final legislative “fix” to that terrible law.

Replacing subsidies with tax credits isn’t the kind of “repeal and replace” republicans promised. This plan relies too heavily on government and will not change the insurance market rapidly enough for average folks to see positive results.

We should have done a full repeal, then adopted a full market based model. Capitalism works.

Interesting discussion on Facebook this morning. A lady is beside herself because she says even though she has insurance now her pre=existing condition will make her pay more and she will not be able to afford insurance.

YET for the last three years she has had no insurance and says she was happy to pay the IRS fine for not having it.

I asked her why she didn't buy insurance before and she said she couldn't afford it.

So to review for three years under Obamacare she couldn't afford insurance BUT paid a penalty to the IRS and still did not have insurance.

Now She has insurance (because she got a better job with higher pay) but is upset because her friends tell her this new bill will cause her insurance to go up because of her pre-existing condition and she won't be able to afford it but she won't pay a penalty to the IRS. So apprently for her it is better then to NOT have insurance and pay a penalty to the IRS than to now just not have insurance.

Orwell was right DOUBELTHINK is real.

Repeal and replace is designed for those who don’t want Obamacare repealed.

I have gained some respect for Mitch McConnell.

He’s stronger and more effective than Paul Ryan. That’s for damn sure.

Republicans will be blamed for that collapse whether or not they pass repeal and replace.

Only by leftists who would never vote R anyway. This includes obviously 95% of journalists, including those at the WSJ.

Rational people will know the cause of the mess is the Democrats.

That status quo is deteriorating as this week’s decision by Aetna to withdraw from Virginia’s health exchanges shows. Republicans will be blamed for that collapse whether or not they pass repeal and replace.

No, Democrats are to blame for another Obamacare Exchange Failure. Fake News Blame Game by the 'reporter' here.
