An apple a day will keep the doctor away.
In contrast, now CSPAN is taking calls from little folk. Across the political spectrum, everyone's saying get the insurance companies out of it. They're the problem. It's beginning to seem that single payer is the only answer, with people being able to choose their provider and hospital.
This is good. More time to regroup. We were too short on time, thanks to Ryan wanting it on Obamacare anniversary date yesterday, and were too short on respect for Freedom Caucus concerns.
NOW, brace.. this is going to be blamed on the conservatives. That means the Freedom Caucus is going to get the blame, in the media and by the RINO contingency.
Karl Rove is the first serpent fire against the Freedom Caucus. He *claims* “they kept moving the goal posts”.
No proof. Just sling it out there and get started slinging it.
Amen. By Ryan.
Fine. Tactical retreat. Fix the bill and bring it back.
Republicans had seven years during the Obama administration to develop a plan to repeal, then replace, the ACA.
Instead, they did nothing other than to campaign on the ACA bogeyman and pass several worthless repeal bills they knew would be ignored.
Trump screwed everything up by winning.
Suddenly the GOP Congresscritters had to get off their collective duff and do something—Not surprisingly, they failed miserably.
This is squarely on Paul Ryan and the Republican “leaders” in the House. Trump can berate and bluster all he wants, but there is still this thing called separation of powers.
Hopefully, this greases the skids for Ryan’s rapid exit.
Good, it was a piece of crap.
This confirms to me that the first swamp needing to be drained is the GOPe.
I am convinced that Ryan et al set up Trump to fail and be neutralized while willing to sit it out for 4 years. They did not think there would be as strong push back in the House as there is
I have to agree with Hannity on this.
That Ryan didn’t write a bill to start with that had Republican consensus is almost criminally incompetence.
How can you go public with something that you’re not sure that your own team supports it?
Thank you Freedom Caucus for standing against Obamacare II
A win for Planned Parenthood.
Its not health care it’s health INSURANCE.
If they cared about health care there are numerous steps that could be taken to get the outrageous costs down.
Best possible outcome
Trump fought the swamp...for a brief time...but the swamp won. It destroyed him very quickly. He was no match for it.
There will be no sane immigration policy or wall...the leftist establishment stopped him with nothing but pissant district judges. Goresuch will be filibustered, and Senate Republicans, seeing Trump bleed out before their eyes, will not stop it. There will be no tax cuts - dead before arrival.
Trump will accomplish nothing, be utterly and totally destroyed within two months by the All-powerful oligarchy - the establishment - and the country will get to be the firmly ruled socialist state it wants to be, with open immigration to make sure the current majority demographic is pounded down into complete submission and third class status. Islam is about to have a hey-day here, sure hope the Mexican drug cartels eventually beat them...
Trump is done, finished for good. He had to win. He’s done nothing except lose over and over. He won’t survive it.
This is so great! I called it again!!
Not willing to put a vote on the record.
Not surprised.
Get rid of all aspects of Obamacare. People have no “right” to healthcare when it means taking money from someone else. Be a responsible adult, earn your own way and pay for your own damn healthcare.
Lyin’ Paul Ryan is the Chief Weasel in this affair.
No doubt a look into the dark caves and crevices of Congress would make regular citizens go mad in half a day.
Time to move on to the next mess and throw this into the back room for major surgery.
Time is short. Congress needs to treat the next 12 months like it’s the last 2 minutes of a ball game.
But a funny thing happened on the way to the vote, after demanding all or nothing, Ryan ended up getting HIS bill hung on HIS neck because everyone started calling it RYANcare and RINOcare.....NOT Trumpcare as they were trying to advertise it.
I think this bill is going to get pulled under pressure from Trump. That leaves,Ryan with well deserved egg on his face for not bringing the conservatives in the loop to begin with.
