Great, let it collapse. No republican should vote to bail Obamacare out.

Voting is pointless. They’re all owned by the left and make a mockery of our votes.

My mind was not made up on the Graham Cassidy Bill.

But now that Collins and McCain have opposed it - it’s clear.

I’m for it.

I have a bottle of Elijah Craig waiting to be opened the day this traitor croaks.

That said, there is no repeal in the bill.
Repair Obamacare is what it is.

Not so fast my friend. Sen Alexander (R-TN) is working with Patty Murray on an insurance bailout bill.

Is the GOP gonna be able to get any Dem votes? If not, this is looking grim. What an embarrassment for the GOP. Campaign on repeal/replace for 7 years and only half the GOP actually was willing to do it. Heck, we can’t even get a watered down weak repeal/replace passed. The Republicans are a joke

If obamacare collapses then something will be done. Trump should veto any attempt to shore it up.

He’s had 8 years (and decades) to organize the model legislative process on health care that he says is necessary, but having done nothing on it he would rather shoot down the only game in town. I’m no fan of this bill but it’s better than just leaving Obozocare alone.

"Game over. Paul, Collins and McCain are no votes. ObamaCare Now and Forever!"

I think the chances are greater that Obamacare will implode and American voters will learn a serious lesson about liberal deception and socialist policy.Game over.

It may not be setting a precedent, but a court in Texas has ruled that the state cannot prohibit the creation of sanctuary cities. SO- my question would be, "Why not start creating health care sanctuaries that allow for concierge services, HSAs and open markets for catastrophic policies?

Pass single payer today, death panels and all and the panels can decide that McCain doesn’t have enough life left and can give him something to “make him more comfortable”

I'd be surprised if anyone really gives a sh!t about this "repeal/replace" merry-go-round in Washington anymore.

The happiest people I've known in the last few years are the ones who finally decided to ditch their medical insurance altogether. I don't think that's a coincidence.

One guy has saved up about $55,000 that he would have paid in premiums over that time. The last straw for him was when he needed to fill a prescription at the local pharmacy, and he learned that it was going to cost him more money through his insurance co-pay than it would cost if he paid cash.
