This is smoke and mirrors. The gop likely already has a deal. Gotta have drama to make it look less like a handout to their cronies.

And like pelosicare, we’ll have to pass it to see what’s in it.

This is what you get when representatives and senators are more worried about their jobs, than they are about accomplishing anything substantive. I am reminded of the last time republicans had the presidency and the legislature where republicans morphed into vote buying democrats.

After all these years of repeal and replace, Ryan had nothing to back up his talk. So he shuts out the conservatives and comes up with a bill that would make Pelosi proud.

Change wording of this legislation to this simple one sentence: OBAMACARE IS HEREBY REPEALED.

[OKSooner]

"This is the closest we're going to get to repealing Obamacare."

Ryan's epitaph.

[upchuck]

From the opening sentence of the article:

Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump and House Republicans are still scrambling to reach a deal on legislation to repeal and replace Obamacare

Yes, they are scrambling to replace Obamacare, NO they aren't scrambling to repeal Obamacare.

And therein lies the big problem. To my knowledge, Trump has never spoken about replacing Obama care. He's always spoken about repealing and replacing Obamacare, something this current legislation certainly doesn't do.

It's a two step process.

THE RINOS ARE KILLING OUR BILL!!!Trump and the real conservatives made a “deal” . The drafting was all that was left. Then PAUL RYAN APPOSES BECAUSE IT DOESN’T HAVE ENOUGH OBAMACARE?

RINOS KILLED IT!! RINOS KILLED IT!! THERE WAS A DEAL!!!
