If anyone else has any live thread links - feel free to post them.

So. Will Repub leaders pull this from a vote at the last minute? Will it pass? Will conservatives vote for it? or what will the GOP-e do?

We shall see.

If it passes the GOP owns healthcare and the left will constantly be looking for people suffering under the plan. The outrageous premiums and deductibles, being ignored under O’care, will suddenly be headline news.

If it doesn’t pass the GOP owns healthcare. Dems and the press will say by voting down their own alternative, Republicans signed onto Obamacare.

The GOP has managed to convert a winning issue into a debacle by refusing to just repeal the legislation.

“At the foundation of our civil liberties lies
the principle that denies to government officials
an exceptional position before the law and which
subjects them to the same rules of conduct
that are commands to the citizen.”
Justice Louis D. Brandeis

I, for one, do NOT want a :”new health bill”
I want REPEAL of ZerO-Care

period.
end of file

your presonal health care is none of the fed’s business to restrict, regulate, limit, direct, approve, or disapprove

Have they read it? Has the bill been publicly posted? I'd like to read it. How can I voice my opinion to my legislator without having access to the text?

CBS This morning was fretting that the CBO hasn’t even scored it yet, as if that is supposed to mean anything. I see they are reading right from the Dem talking points. Didn’t hear the media hoopla when nobody read it and Pelosi bragged about it.

Last time I checked healthcare was one word. So technically it should be the A -HA bill !

One writer already predicts that Dems will use the MSM lie “pre-exisiting conditions not covered under Repub bill” lie big-time for the 2018 elections. Most people will believe it, he claims.

I think it passes with room to spare. After last time House Republicans will be desperate not to be seen fumbling the ball again, so they’ll hand it off to the Senate and make like they’ve done a hard day’s work.

Lifenews says Planned Parenthood would be defunded which is what a lot of us are waiting for.

http://www.lifenews.com/2017/05/04/house-will-vote-today-on-bill-to-defund-planned-parenthood-abortion-biz/

I understand that everyone has their priorities, however, there has not been an administration as pro-life as this one. Everyone should pray that Satan, Klanned Parenthood, is defunded.

They will give us a Ryancare, it will thrill the insurance industry, premiums and deductibles will never come down a thin dime, and the GOP congress will never return to the issue again.

Screw Ryan. Obamacare will never be repealed.

CBS News radio just stated that Republicans have the votes to pass this, and that the voting should begin within the hour.

I just put on Cspan live and heard it was approved 427-0...

Wait, that was an amendment to exempt the House from the Healthcare Bill.

Okay, so it passed. Now it goes to the Senate where Obamacare Lite becomes Obamacare Even Less Lite. Big freakin’ deal.

News saying it passed, immediate whining that it “only covers 5% of preexisting conditions.” In other words it does exactly what insurance is supposed to do in the first place.
