BS the bill has positive features and the idiots dragging their feet like schoolchildren are to blame not Trump not Ryan. One of the reasons the Democrats succeed is because they have party discipline. The GOP has factions like the Lovers of Losing Caucus which can only cause trouble without contributing anything positive.

And we have other dumbasses here defending these jerks.

Paul is the enemy

Paul is the enemy because he was against the bill?

No the children in the Lovers of Losing Caucus defeated this attempt. They are foolish and contemptible jerks.

New leadership would be stopped by the Lovers of Losing Caucus. Ryan is Speaker because NO ONE ELSE wanted the job and was capable. He may resign and let the whole stinking mess tear itself apart in insane squabbling.

Was one of the positive features opening up coverage for illegal aliens?
Or was it closing off the exemption for Christian cost-sharing plans?
Or was it keeping 80% of Obamacare intact?

Yep. This was a completely unnecessary, self-inflicted wound.

Speaker Paul Ryan couldn’t manage a pretzel kiosk at the mall. We won’t get anywhere with this loser: today Ryan screwed the pooch on the Ed Sullivan show ....

Medicare was increased and state grants would give the states the ability to do some of the things they wish to do.

Getting a handle of Illegalism will put a stop to their participation.

At present Illegals are treated and we pay, nothing new there. We are not going to allow them to die at the hospital door or wander around spreading sickness.

The only question is how do we minimize the costs. Who is to say they would even participate for fear of being arrested and deported?

Ryan should be placed in the plan and everyone should go after Ryan for their huge deductibles. All we needed was repeal and free market, only more free. No f’ing government replace.

I would love to see the President issue an EO rescinding the opt-out from Obamacare for Congress and their staffs.

Let these people live it—then we’d see some movement!

I predict that Congress will come up with a better and more realistic repeal bill after the 2018 insurance renewal notices start going out in October and November.

President Trump has said, on numerous occasions, he should let Obamacare fail and hang it on the Democrats.

Same way he ran for VP.
Tried just hard enough to get the job and then surrendered.
He would have done the exact same thing if the House had voted to pass it.

Title: “Foreseeable future” is an oxymoron.

Hopefully Ryan’s “foreseeable future/shelf life” is about a month.
