So—Why vote Republican?
Then it must be called a democrat VICTORY
They kept OBAMACARE
Enjoy those insurance premiums, everyone
Is the SENATE’S non-action ‘punishment’ for PRESIDENT TRUMP’S pullout of the Paris Climate Change Agreement?
GOP may have gotten my last vote...
“Nothing” is a perfectly acceptable alternative.
Less than nothing, by which I mean undoing other things (like protecting insurers from commerce among the States) would be better still.
What deal?
The People of America outright TOLD those still in the Senate, what WE WANTED!!
You Senators either represent your constituents, or you will be primaried out, next election!!
Burr is a whiney girly boy....
This is now an opportunity for the Trump administration to issue blanket waivers to any insurance company that comes up with a health care plan that remotely resembles an insurance product.
If the GOP fails to get this done after posturing with dozens of repeal votes, they will lose their majorities in 2018. We will be stuck with Obamacare, a cancer on the American citizenry. Maybe the GOP is more comfortable with being in the minority. Then they can complain without accomplishing anything.
Our “higher class” of criminals, which is actually even lower than the “common” variety.
I vote that we terminate the entire senate, who needs them and for what. Cut off their money, make them sit on concrete blocks with no air conditioning and let them debate their asses off.
A totally worthless group of idiots, I don’t see why anyone votes for these morons since they never accomplish a thing.
When and ONLY WHEN Government Lives under the Same Laws as us will anything substantial happen
OBAMACARE Can be Saved!!
There are about 22 MILLION Public Employee’s Nationwide that are Ineligible for Subsidies, this infusion of New Paying Customers will SAVE OBAMACARE. the SEIU and every other Public Employee UNION fully Endorse Obamacare and have held numerous rallies in support thereof.
Let’s Give them what they want!
I believe our Public Employees deserve the Best Health Care America has to offer, and that is the Official Government Health Care Plan, Obamacare. So why don’t you quit pussyfooting around and Proudly Proclaim your desire to see that ALL Federal Employees receive the Finest, Most Affordable Health Care the US has to offer, OBAMACARE.
All the Money currently wasted on these inferior high priced cadillac plans can be diverted to the Wall.
There is ONLY ONE WAY to make it happen:
Executive Orders or Legislation, the chance of CONgress doing it are the same as OJ Confessing, so I am choosing Executive Orders.
1. All waivers to the Affordable Care act are hereby repealed.
2. There shall be NO funds drawn from the treasury to pay for Health Insurance for ANY Federal Employee except Members of the Armed Services.
3. ALL Federal Employees except members of the US Armed Services, SHALL purchase their own personal and Family Health Insurance from the Affordable Care Exchange in the state they legally reside.
4. There shall be NO Medicaid Reimbursement funds allocated to any State that does not have 100% of their Public Employees enrolled in the Affordable Care Act.
And to make sure it is Bipartisan, President Trump should VETO it every Time and FORCE them to Override his Veto to Repeal this Monstrosity.
Sign these 4 orders and it will be FULLY REPEALED in Less than 30 days.
NOT UNTIL, Anyone want to make a BET???
When and ONLY WHEN Government Lives under the Same Laws as us will anything substantial happen
Unacceptable. How many years did the GOP have to think about this?
I’d like the GOP to keep this topic front and center; frequently communicating exactly what they’re doing to study, propose, craft language, etc. Mr. Burr’s comments suggest to me that the GOP intends to put this on the shelf and come back to it later. We’re paying a lot of taxes for bureaucrats - let’s give them something useful to do!
The GOP majority in the senate is like teets on a bull.
5.56mm
[The GOP had six years to come up with some alternative vision and they twiddled their thumbs.]
They do whatever there corporate masters tell them.
MEMO TO SENATOR BURR: Do not fail the voters on the repeal of the ACA.
Trump needs to call these so-called GOP leaders to the White House and read them the riot act.
What do Senators know about healthcare anyway? Why should the House bill be DOA?
This is exactly why the 17th Amendment needs to be repealed.
I miss Jesse Helms...
Who woulda thought that electing a Republican president would grind a Republican congress to a halt?...
Unlikely?
