Four conservative U.S. Republican senators said on Thursday they are not prepared to vote for the Senate Republican healthcare proposal unveiled on Thursday when it comes to the floor, probably next week.
"Currently, for a variety of reasons, we are not ready to vote for this bill, but we are open to negotiation and obtaining more information before it is brought to the floor," the senators -- Rand Paul, Mike Lee, Ron Johnson, and Ted Cruz -- said in a joint statement. The draft bill would not repeal Obamacare and lower healthcare costs, they said.

Good.
It’s boo chit...
If the bill doesn’t repeal Obamacare or lower healthcare insurance costs, then just what does it do?
FGS just leave it alone and let the Dems own Obamacare. Maybe one of these days the Dems will understand why their nominees are losing elections.
I am glad Ron Johnson is on board. I figured he would be unhappy from the left.
Well, that’s that.
And you could add McCain and Graham, I’d bet, just on general anti-GOP principles.
This really sounds like O-Care light.
However, I did get one laugh out of this today. I saw Chuck Shumer on TV just an hour after it was released, carrying on about how this was done in secret and how it would have a shortened debate and legislative schedule before the vote. He was outraged! It was hilarious, after what the Dems did to ram O-care through in the first place.
If Mitch McConnell is responsible you can expect it to stick to your boots.
“Polishing a turd isn’s repealing a turd.”
Yes, but one of the sad facts of the U.S. Senate is that they deeply love turds.
People need to sign up for health shares and by-pass the government and the middleman.
Good. Mark Levin has been describing details and ferociously warning against it for weeks.
I haven’t finished yet on reading this 142 page bill, BUT:
I have reservations here, I don’t know Rand Paul except he is from Kentucky...(haven’t vetted him that much, but will be doing so)
Ron Johnson, will have to look at his record and vet him...
Mike Lee (R) Utah, I don’t need to go any further to tell that if he doesn’t like it, there must be something good in the bill...Lee smells miles away before you ever see him...
Ted Cruz (R) Texas, watching him during the campaign, the lies, the under handed things he did, working with Paul Ryan on the TTP bill, have friends in Texas that want him out period...
So this is where I am at, I will be reading and re reading this bill, and I’m not taking any media accounts on what they think, they are all liars...
kabuki theatre at its best, as only the us senate can deliver.
And then what happens when healt shares is insolvent from a few transplants or something similar?
Is health shares a truly viable alternative to insurance?
Can’t never could do nothing.
They don’t call them the Republican’ts for nothing.
Where is the current link to this abomination?
Is there a summary yet?
I hear the congress creeps have once more exempted themselves and staff from it.
I demand that whatever is passed, the Senate, House and their staffs all have to have it.
The gold plated plan they have now becomes extinct.
I’m sort of doing that. I’m self-insured.
This Congress needs three health care financing bills.
Bill 1 would repeal ObamaCare in its entirety.
Bill 2 would state that the Congress has no Constitutional authority to be in the health care business.
Bill 3 would state that Congress does have the Constitutional authority to regulate interstate commerce and will allow insurance companies to engage in interstate commerce.
