The “signature” bit is old and needs to stop. We need to reject cult-of-personality language.

A lot of winning today. Besides the resolution to repeal ScamOcare, steps are underway for the wall and increased border security...

Oh yes, and probably the biggest win of the day: Megyn Smug is FINALLY booted off Fox....

When is a repeal not a repeal? When the Senate does it with Obamacare. They’re going to leave it there for years until they adopt something that will be as bad or worse.

First open the gates and let the forced prisoners of O Care escape to other plans or no plans at all. Freedom.

Without 60 votes, this bill goes nowhere.

The only way to (legally) kill Obamascare is for the House to defund it.

But, given that would require many of them to put their careers on the line, that’s not happening, either.

Yes, we do. We need to reject it for the next President, as well.

What a waste, Enzi.

Wait 3 weeks and then it will likely succeed.

As long as Obama is still there, it is another effort in futility.

I hear the Democrats are fighting back...they even coined a new Obamacare Motto:

"You say you liked your old plan? That's too frickin' bad. You get Obamaacre or nothing."

“Obama’s signature health insurance program that provides coverage to millions of Americans...”

YOU LIE!

It forces people who do not have coverage to buy it, or pay a penalty.

The only thing I hate more than the propaganda media are the garbage that believe it and perpetuate the lies.

Have you ever seen Congress replace one entitlement with a better one?

You're seriously asking that question?

The something worse is the ultimate "solution" to all the problems of Obamacare.

Single-payer has been their objective since the beginning.

You ain't been paying attention. Anyone that thiks about it knows you can't pull the table cloth out in one "woosh" w/o putting a replacement in effect. It will have to be phased to keep the Left from screaming in agony and parading all them that "lost their superb plans" out to "prove" that trump hates the little folks. He has a plan and he doesn't back down.

0bama is only a concern until Jan 20 ... so long as they don't pass anything before then, he can't veto it. I believe the "new" (115th) Congress convened today.
