I have no doubt that we’re are going to get some version of a public option. At least with this version, PP would have been gone. You think we are ever getting rid of PP now? Thats why even though I hate Pelosi, the democrats stick together and get stuff done, even if flawed. They knew Obamacare was crap but they passed it anyway, knowing the a public option would replace it. But what does the FC do? Deny our president an important, momentum building victory and now look where we are? Fighting amongst each other and looking like idiots! I’m with you Mariner, the repubs screwed up big time!

The Dems and GOP never Trump #1 goal by a mile is to detach POTUS from his base and isolate him. Then steal the beltway agenda from a weakened POTUS.
The “freedom caucus” just handed them their best gift since the kenyan was reelected. Rather than accept Ryancare warts and all and live to fight another day they chose to be arsonists.
Now we have no bill and are stuck with kenyancare until it gets a “bipartisan” fix.
I’m sure the gum flapper in the FC will have a lot to say about that. Not that they will matter.
That is 100% false. No House bill that defunded Planned Parenthood would ever survive a Democrat filibuster in the Senate.
I'll go one step further ...
No House bill that defunded Planned Parenthood would even get 50 REPUBLICAN votes in the Senate.
That whole "defund Planned Parenthood" thing was just a political canard.
