To the article: Oh plz; most of us knew that the house GOP would try to shank us in the back first chance they got.

This is why we have to flood both Congress and the WH with complaints about it, so they GET THE MESSAGE.

Trump, at least, has shown that he’s willing to listen to us. But how can he hear if we don’t TELL HIM?

This is a phony bill. the plan is to not pass anything else for the next 2-3 years.

I hope it gets defeated.

Repeal means repeal, not modify and keep.

Anyone who votes for this bill needs to be defeated.

Abandon ship: Conservative groups and think tanks turn on House GOP’s ObamaCare bill

I knew when Paul Ryno kept it secret and wouldn't let anyone know any of the details, that it was going to turn out to be a pile of "manure", and it stinks to high heaven!

Trump has some major work ahead if he's going to deliver.

Of all the players in Washington today, I trust Rand Paul's instincts on this more than anyone else ... and I say this as someone who wasn't a supporter of Paul in the 2016 campaign.

I think everyone should step back and take a deep breath on this.

Conservatives are not happy, but consider three things.

One, this will be the first time in history a gravy-train entitlement was reversed at all.

Two, full removal in one swipe gives the libs all kinds of personal stories of Republican savagery. They will show dead bodies and sick people with tubes coming out of them.

Three, the Senate is still a slim margin with the liberal Republicans going for the opposition.

Trump will not undermine the GOP leadership that way.

This is a case where economic reality is clashing with political feasibility, and they all need to work something out behind closed doors instead of carrying on a dispute in public.

Dear President Trump,

I voted for you (and I’m not alone) because you were the only viable alternative. That doesn’t mean I wasn’t excited to vote for you, though. It was a rare opportunity to vote for a man of the people... who spoke to the issues affecting everyday Americans.

So far, I’ve been very happy with what you’ve done... a man who keeps his promises is a rare bird in DC! However, here’s what you may missed from the last 6 years of elections:

The GOP has been swept into their greatest political majority in a hundred years with the express mandate to undo Obamacare starting with the 2010 midterms. That was their pledge in every election since and that has been the expectation. They merely asked for more power and authority to accomplish this goal. They showed they understood the message by passing token legislation to accomplish this purpose when they knew it wouldn’t be signed into law. Now that it can finally be accomplished... there is no repeal legislation.

Your election was historic but not unique. It was the culmination of years of promises by the GOP to undo the liberal agenda with Obamacare as the capstone. Don’t think for a second that merely “tweaking” the legislation is going to sit well with a majority of us. Get rid of it altogether and recognize that this isn’t the federal government’s business to begin with.

Sincerely,

So the Kenyan kept this turd on life support until he bugged out. It’s 12-24 months from total epic collapse - and the GOP wants to tinker with it then own the entire turd. Lock, stock, and subsidies.

Repeal the entire turd. Anything less is still a turd, but it becomes our turd.

It’s hard to shine up a turd.

Ryancare is not much better than Obamacare.

Ronald Reagan once said, ‘Government’s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.’ The AHCA does all three.

Protecting the insurance industry, as now entrenched, from interstate competition is a nonstarter for me.

This thing is a joke. They just STILL dont get it —the RINOs, they still think they are smarter than us. They should be very embarrassed and withdraw this trainwreck immediately.

Obamacare Lite. Its dead, Jim.

We might as keep Obamacare around if all we’re gonna do is change the funding mechanism and insurance mandate.

Whole thing is a sick joke and Democrats are right Republicans don’t have an alternative.

They’re cowardly lions afraid to embrace free market health care.

This is an atrocious piece of legislation. Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid would be proud.

Thank you for that common sense statement.

We the People installed Trump against the wishes of Democrats and Republicans alike. We've delivered the vast majority of state governorships to Republicans. The Republicans enjoy the majority in both the House and Senate in the 115th Congress. We did that.

If the federal government refuses to listen to We the People, despite all this, then there are going to be real "dead bodies and sick people with tubes coming out of them" because Civil War is right around the corner. Personally, I'd rather have Obamacare completely repealed and worry about the ammo it provides Democrats, than experience Civil War and worry about who winds up hurt and dead. But, to each his own.
