C'mon, they don't all suck. Some are voting right.
Conservative block is all talk. They have no plan.
Of course they do. The author of that plan is now Secretary of the DHHS...champing at the bit to start deregulating, and making the changes that have been needed for decades.
Ryan has plan, but it sucks rocks.
The bill starves Obamacare with no RAT interference....that's the plan...nothing more in this one. Unfortunately, RINOs are now the monkeywrench.
Trump’s agenda down the tubes.
I doubt that, but his quick action move may be jeopardized. Read post #1,816...maybe twice.
Individual market.
I refuse to approach the ledge.
We’ll see what tomorrow brings.
Excellent article, Kenny.
Thanks for sharing and I hope President Trump takes his own advice and walks away.
Probably so, imagine all want to see their accepted changes incorporated in the final bill..........
“It seems to me and I am not intelligent on the matter by any means but why can’t Phase two and three be written along side one? That way the uncertains will be assured their concerns have been addressed and written into one of the phases. Sorry if my comment isn’t wise enough to know about the situation.”
I am no expert in the matter but here is what I believe the reason is from listening to Sean Spicer in his press briefings.
Phase 1. Is to pass the Health Plan under budget reconciliation which means those things that effect the budget. This only requires 51 votes.
Phase 2. Is where Secretary Price can go and get rid of or make changes to ALL the rules and regulations that Kathleen Sibelius had control over. She made a gazillion rules and regs.
Phase 3. Allowing insurance across state lines. Medical Malpractice Reform. Associated Health Plans or high risk pools ect.
I am guessing because these would be new laws it requires 60 votes. So this is why it has to be done in 3 stages.

Has anyone explained why the third stage can’t be initiated right now? For example they have that other bill working through the House on genetics testing which is meant to work in tandem with the health care bill.
Why can’t a bill be initiated right now on the 3rd part?
BTW - that genetics testing bill should not be passed - do a search on genetic testing on FR.
WH spox Sarah Sanders says they will start "the debate" on vote "as planned" tonight and will move vote till tomorrow since it will go late
House has already voted and passed on three parts of part III
I had a catastrophic policy with high deductible that was affordable, but covered unforeseen accidents or disease. Then I had to get a policy that covered things I won’t need, so the premium skyrockets and to add insult to injury, the deductible was still high! Scott Pruitt, Rand Paul, and many others have talked about this also, but Ryan didn’t want to take it out. I think this is one of the reasons they aren’t having the vote today. This very problem was discussed at the press conference too. If the government wants to offer this premium insurance to everyone, just have options, and if some poor people can’t afford them, give them assistance if that’s what they think they need to do. I think it would be cheaper for taxpayers and fairer for everyone.
the president of the United States is having fun in this truck
Jane did you read the article at #1826?
“Enough Mr.Pres, Time to Walk”
Maybe we don’t want a vote.
I’m not so sure that this is the best bill, Trump made YUGE misstate trusting lying Ryan.
Just filed a supplement to our 10/19/16 @FEC complaint. It gives @EllenLWeintraub #VoterFraud proof she keeps asking @realDonaldTrump about
New US ambassador to Israel David Friedman will be warmly welcomed as President Trump's representative and as a close friend of Israel. 🇮🇱🇺🇸
I’m with you Rock. I want them to pass this bill. It’s not perfect but with changes its better. Never Trumpers like Mike Lee want the President to fail.
We need to be moving forward. It can be made better in the future.
They need to pass it, then go home and explain what’s reality.
Get off sidelines, quit sniping and pass the damn bill. Price can change a lot if they pass it!
If this bill is not passed, no defense budget, no tax cut....
Freedom Caucus will be paid by Koch to obstruct everywhere.
At WH, @SHSanders45 says House will begin debate on repeal bill tonight and vote tomorrow. So House members dont have to vote at 3AM.
Current Obamacare is 6% of economy. Koch and his stooges want this bill to stay.
So let pass new bill, so that rest can move. Dismantle rest of issues one by one.
Koch brothers hate Pres Trump.
They use their money like Soros to get what they want.
Actually both of them do, had no idea there was a name for it or that it was something that the breed did.
Just thought they were crazy doggies, LOL.
I remember asking daughter when was Wyat going to settle down and act his age, he’s the BF and must be about 8 now.
