Repealing Obamacare

[MarAzul]

Man, these Republicans in the Congress are really disappointing. At this point I can't see any difference between the bulk of them and many Democrats.
We have a healthcare system in shambles and health insurance no longer exists. They don't seem to even know where North is when it comes to fixing it.
At this point, I think Trump needs to manage this fiasco, taking a new tack.

Tell Ryan to back off, and move on to the next item on the agenda. Put Health care on the back burner until August when you actually roll out a free market nationwide insurance plan
and corrections to the healthcare system. At the same time ask the Democrat leadership to bring forth a plan for National healthcare system to replace Obama care that will get every Democrat's vote.
Ask Ryan to schedule a vote on both in August where one of the plans will become law. The way things look more Republicans would vote for the Democrat plan than anything the Republicans can come up with.

This is too important to just let disintegrate. If the Damn Congress cannot get this fixed, then perhaps a Convention of the States is needed, started by the Governors.

If you want the govt to fix healthcare...remove them all from healthcare benefits and their families and let them start from the bottom...if you really want to fix govt.....stop electing wealthy and entitled people to office

Trouble is;
It's them that has to do the removing.

Rep. John Shimkus said the reasons the Affordable Care Act is unpopular is that it makes men pay for prenatal care. He asks why he should pay for prenatal care?
(The notion that it might be popular with women for that reason is apparently above his pay grade.)

Apparently the "honorable" Congressman is unaware that men play a part in pregnancy. Or that about half of all fetuses, you know, those fetuses conservatives claim to love so much, are male.

So - no birth control. No Planned Parenthood to provide women's health care. No abortion. Cut Medicaid so birth expenses won't be covered. No prenatal care.
I mean, obviously our fault, if we sluts had not insisted on having vaginas this wouldn't happen, right?

They should receive the same health care they pass through law for everyone else. They want to raise premiums by impossible percentages, they should have to pay that too and see what it looks like. They get to sit safely behind special government coverage, fuck that.

 

[Chris Craig]

Vote should be happening anytime. Hearing they do not have enough votes to pass the repeal

Good that poor excuse for a health care bill makes even Obamacare look good.

 

[Further]

Not happening.

Well the Democrat won! They sat on their hands and watched, the most successful hands off tactic ever. Let's hear the cheer!

Wonder what they will tell their people that can't buy any insurance because there isn't any to buy where they live?

White House telling reporters "We were suckered into a trap" by Paul Ryan.

The republicans don't need the dems to do anything.

The affordable care act has died today after being rushed from the chambers of congress. It experienced a complete system failure around 3:30pm eastern time. News was rushed to the white house and it was announced a short time later that it was DOA. There were a few republican congressman who tried in vain to resuscitate it, but all attempts were futile.

Exactly, the republicans have complete control of the Congress, Senate, and White House, this shit wreck is on them.

Maybe this administration and House/Senate will realize that people want a better ACA and not a BS attempt to fuck the populace over while putting more money into the pockets of their friends.

Buh bye ObamaCare.

And that's /thread

Except for the inevitable complaining about it.

Or not.

Are these guys' tears delicious too, Trumpies? You're the connoisseurs:

WINNING SO MUCH WINNING

 

[riverman]

Well the Democrat won!

Nobody won...but necessary damage control prevailed...both the GOP and Dems are fed up with Trump...no longer a partisan issue. Trump doesn't do preparation at all...just throws shit at the wall to see if it'll stick.

 

[riverman]

On the same point....isn't ISIS supposed to be gone now since Trump said he'd destroy them within 90 days of being in office? One more turd hurled at the wall.

He had a plan because he knew so much better than the generals. But oddly, he then had to wait for the generals to give him a plan. And it turns out it's the same plan as Obama, only perhaps with more civilian casualties.
