TradeTheBeal! Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 (edited) I'm going to quit drinking and smoking cigarettes. On January 1, 2020. It was a really big decision for me and I'm very proud of myself. Save the date, y'all. Edited July 18, 2017 by TryTheBeal! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooked Crack Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Last CBO score for repeal only. Who actually believes a replacement bill is coming? These dicks have been slamming the ACA for high premiums for years yet every plan they release just make it worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Face it, the Republican party is dysfunctional when it comes to getting things done. Opposing Ds and winning elections, yes. Legislating, no. They got elected! They're the only people in the US (minus meteorologists) who can be wrong & still keep their jobs. STOP ELECTING PEOPLE WHO DO NOTHING FOR YOU THAT YOU STILL PAY FOR.

Larry Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Commentator on NPR, just now, commenting on the two defectors. Along the lines of "And they arranged it so that they came out together, kind of like giving one blank round to the firing squad. It means that both of them can pretend that it was the other one that killed the bill." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This died because it wasn't extreme enough in stripping health care protections for Americans. I have zero faith that GOP "moderates" will stick to their guns and prevent a far right bill from passing. This turd that is being labeled healthcare legislation has died each time because of the most extreme ideologues not getting their way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im wondering why YOU aren't happy it failed. I'm amused that Trumpcare maybe failed. I'll be "happy" when the GOP rises from its slumber and offers substantive legislation that addresses some of the less effective provisions of the ACA. Save us John Kasich!! Just a reminder that, at the end of the day, the AHCA was nothing but a tax break for the wealthy dressed up as a healthcare bill because the tax break was paid for by ripping Medicaid from the working class. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
