People saw this bill as a bait-and-switch. No real repeal, just more costs and regulations, no chance of parts 2 and 3 passing.

Exactly.

All great points, Freepers. Passage would have left Obiecare basically intact with the responsibility now falling squarely on Trump and Congress. To a degree, it still is, which hopefully will provide incentive to fix this in '17.

Supporters promised that Dir. Price has 1,400 "shalls" available within the language to fix everything....all to be undone when Dems are back in charge ?

KILL IT. DEAD . DAMN IT !

Phases 2 and 3 won't happen. Dems control the DC circuit court, which means every proposal gets tied up in court forever. Disaster was avoided for DjT and republican majority, imho, provided they act.

They're a bunch of cowardly bastards. Reconciliation can be pushed to new levels by Mike Pence as chair of the Senate. Stop playing with Queensberry rules.

I believe Meadows, Freedom Caucus, Cruz, Paul, Lee, et al truly have the party and Trump's well being at heart.

You mean the same ole crap we've been used too for decades? When democRATS have power they beat us over the head with it. When republiCANTS have power they don't know what to do with it.

So sick of this shit. I'm done with them if they can't get tax reform passed. And I mean REAL tax reform, none of this down from 39% to 35% crap. If they screw us over on this they can expect to be wiped out completely in 2018.

And they will deserve every bit of it.
