And shame on those "Republican" senators who scuttled the Senate vote to repeal Obamacare once and for all.
Any replacement would have been fine, they could have tweaked it later, the main point was to repeal Obamacare now.
we can SAVE Obamacare, we just need to Fully Implement it and give the Uniparty exactly what they are asking for.
I believe President Trump should Call their Bluff and Force the Issue.
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 Employees 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.
Lets 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 dont 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 All waivers to the Affordable Care act are hereby repealed.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Sign these 4 orders and it will be FULLY REPEALED in Less than 30 days.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
Target them all(God has McCain in his sights) for a ejection at the polling place.
Sorry, L.A. Times — this isn’t over.
Rand Paul behaved despicably. If he was going to deny us even the chance of escaping Obamacare, he should have renounced his taxpayer-subsidized platinum healthcare plan. But to say, ‘I have mine, screw you,’ is disgusting.
Obamacare is the enemy and must be destroyed.
Deal with it.
Graham-Casdidy is dead because McCain is still alive.
I generally call the Los Angeles Times names, and disagree with it stridently.
It's a little difficult when they're spot on target.
Those who telegraphed they wouldn't vote for it, just gave the Left the best gift of 2017 so far.
Just damn!
All you Republicans in Congress, don't even talk to me about Obamacare anymore, you lying bastards.
The LA Times can shove it.
Wasn’t Ted Cruz a no, too?
Well, this or something like it will pass, once McTurd is out of the picture.
Until then, letting the Democrats continue to own it almost makes the Republicans look smart. It’s still Pelosi, Obama, and Reid’s baby.
Social security and medicare funds are on life support and are not going to live. So the Times wants to hurt people to pander votes.
Typical liberal thinking. Out goes the baby with the bath water.

How many people on the editorial board of this rag are on Obamacare?
Stop funding Obamacare, it will die shortly.
468% increase in premiums since 2008. My company was told our benefits were too generous and the company would be fined a $110m excise tax starting in 2020. Next year premiums + high deductible will cost $22,000 for my and the hubby (only if we use them, of course). I’m getting my knee replaced in November since I know what the cost will be this year. My doctor told me that I’m not the first person he’s talked to from my company who’s getting procedures done sooner rather than later.
The government is very good at dis-incentivizing companies from treating their employees well (and interfering with a private contract between employer/employee)....that’s why I’ve stuck with them for 35 years.....
Repeal and don’t replace. So sick of all of this.
Nope. Obama care is my mortal enemy. I will fight it to my death. This law was voted on before it was even read. The court that saved it was corrupted when the same judge wrote both pro and con summations. I lived over 50 years without serving jail time. Thanks to Obama care - I am now a tax felon because I refuse to buy a service I do not want. Cannot afford its premiums. And if I pay the penalty, I do not eat. Obama care is trying to kill me. I am its mortal enemy.
Obamacare is like Roe v. Wade. While not enemies of big government liberals who hate freedom and hate life, both are the enemy of decent people for as long as they exist. Obamacare must be repealed. Graham-Cassidy didn't do that, but I was willing to tolerate it as a small step in the right direction. I will give up on that priority when I die or Obamacare dies, but not before.
Ditto on your comments. Not sure what middle income means in the article. From what I’ve read, many people with incomes between 300% and 400% of FPL are not signing up even though they are eligible for exchange subsidies.
