Rep. Tom Garret (R-VA), along with a dozen Freedom Caucus members, announced his intent to file a discharge petition that would put a clean repeal of Obamacare before the House.
The House Freedom Caucus repeatedly argued that the best path to repealing Obamacare revolves around a simple repeal of Obamacare and then replacing the Affordable Care Act with a free-market alternative.
Congress passed a clean repeal bill of Obamacare in 2015 only to have it vetoed by President Obama. Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), a former chairman of the Freedom Caucus, reintroduced the same legislation in 2017. However, Congress has not taken up that legislation.
Rep. Tom Garrett announced his intent to file a discharge petition that would put that clean Obamacare repeal bill before the House. Garrett said, “I commend both the President and Republican leadership for working to replace the monstrosity that is Obamacare. However, we have seen discussions for replacement continue to stall and we must change our approach to reforming healthcare.”
The Virginia congressman concluded, “The House should lead with an incremental approach by supporting a clean-repeal bill and then enter into replacement negotiations. As such, I just initiated a seldom-used parliamentary procedure to advance H.R. 1436 through a discharge petition. The overwhelming majority of my Republican colleagues cast their vote in support of this legislation in 2015, and I have faith they will do nothing short of that now.”

All these so called Republicans against a full repeal of Obamacare after they swore up and down they would repeal it. IMO they should be immediately recalled and set aside for a special election. If that can't be done, then Primary them out. Finally, if that fails, then cross over and vote for their opponent.
We need to get this trash out of congress. I'm sorry but the scam known as Obamacare must go.
“....I’m sorry but the scam known as Obamacare must go.”
Why? Why are you “sorry” about something as sorry as Obamacare having to go?
Next, Rep. Tom Garrett needs to challenge that limp Lying Ryan for the Speaker’s job.
And anyone should love to run against any of of these members with the note of ‘you voted x times to repeal until it came clear the president would sign it, then you voted against’. Every one should lose reelection,
Paul Ryan as well as Mitch McConnel are pathetic boobs.

I believe Jim Jordan would be a better choice. He founded the Freedom Caucus and has been one of the most out-front advocates for reform.
He was on Breitbart Radio and Maria Bartiromo this morning and he was fabulous in both segments.
As should any representative or senator who votes against the Discharge Petition on Traitorobamacare.
I’ve said for years we should vote for the democrat then two years later replace the democrat with a real conservative.

I think the RNC made it perfectly clear a few months ago - either support the legislation or go find someone else to fund your run on a ticket where you will not be listed as a Republican candidate.
I agree. Love it. Get the bastards on the record with a straight up or down vote. Watch Ryan-he’s the key. Either he is with us or against us. This is his watershed moment.
DITTO: MITCH NEXT.

Repeal and never go there again. DC has no authority to implement mandatory national health care.
COMPLETELY CONTRAIRE TO SCOTUS and compromised, traitor justice Roberts, USConstitution does NOT allow DC to do this.
Repeal; then drastically change health industry laws to enable lawful USA health care options. Allow more companies into the field and remove state boundaries for health care.
Ryan needs to go, as well as McConnell
Talk is cheap, Tom.
Just do it.
But,but,I read millions will DIE!

Speaker Ryno will make sure it doesn’t get the signatures.
He cant stop any of the Dems from signing on.
