WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A new Republican bill to replace Obamacare will be unveiled in the U.S. Senate on Monday with backing from President Donald Trump, according to one of two Republican senators who have crafted the legislation.

The lawmaker, Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, told reporters he was optimistic the legislation could pass before a Sept. 30 deadline. Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell has said he will hold a vote if the bill can attract support from enough senators for it to succeed on a simple majority.

What about the “new repeal bill” brought up by McCain and Graham? Is this the same one, and they put this guy up to introducing it?

Maybe McCain nixed the last one because he knew his girlfriend Lindsey had one of his own, and they wanted IT passed instead of the original.

Something fishy going on here.

I wish him well. Almost anything would be better for America than this high priced dysfunctional boondoggle. It would be cheaper to issue mini-med plans to the welfare set, as troubled as the concept of faceless government welfare is, than this.

Let’s not start giving high fives just yet.

It could turn out to be another crap sandwich.

No, Cassidy has been working on the bill since the beginning, with Rick Santorum, Scott Walker, and the House Freedom Caucus.

In other news, Sunday afternoon there will be a planned Anti-Trump rally for all Anitfa on South Beach in Miami, Florida. Anit-Trump participants are encouraged to show up on time.

The new measure, which would give more healthcare powers to the states, is a revamped version of legislation that did not gain enough support during the summer healthcare debate.

So it's not an Obamacare repeal bill, it's an Obamacare replace bill. Or, more likely, an Obamacare tweak bill.

A replacement bill was ALWAYS in play and the big thing was “mandatory”.

So repeal one train wreck of a healthcare plan and replace it with another. Excuse me while I contain my enthusiasm.

“Repeal” does not mean “repeal”. Very Clintonesque abuse of language.

Likely an act to drum up his re-election votes and base...Likely doesn’t even want it to pass knowing the leftie loser Senate is next.
