Where’s the repeal?

The repeal is sitting in a committee in the House somewhere, and it won't be allowed to the floor.

Of course, if it was sent to the floor, it would fail miserably.

But, hey, let's not let that incontrovertible fact get in the way of unrealistic fantasies.

A straight up Obamacare repeal will never pass the House. Those who point to such measures having been passed under the previous administration should look up the meaning of the word "disingenuous", and also the term "window dressing".

And they should take up their gripes with those members of Congress who voted Obamacare repeal then, but absolutely refuse to do so now.

Meanwhile, the grownups will seek the passage of something that at least begins to attack the problem.

I wonder: what will all the bleaters say when the HFC eventually votes "yes" on a bill that is still unacceptable to the absolutists?

Or alternately: what they will say when the 2018 midterms are approaching and still nothing has been done about Obamacare?

I guess the House falling into Democrat hands—putting a complete halt to the entire Trump agenda—is a small price to pay for "nobly" standing on "principle".

There shall be weeping or gnashing of teeth...

Vote. Stand and be counted.

Too many Republicans support ACA. They don’t want you to know.

What would happen in 2018 when premiums increase over the already unaffordable Obamacare rates? Ryancare would have increased rates for the next 2 years. Why can’t insurance be allowed to be purchased across state lines as promised?
