LOL. How many times did Congress vote to "repeal" Obamacare when Obama was in office? Like 50 times?

How close to the 2018 election can Republicans try to pass Health Care reform before being too afraid of voter blow back in a election year? January 2018? July 2018?

How ironic, Trump's base undoubtedly celebrates the watered down and temporary (and therefore worthless) reinstatement of the Muslim ban, while at the same time the Republicans work around the clock to get the necessary votes to strip them of their health coverage.

So, this is 4% less "mean" than the House's Bill? Takes us from 9% UI rate to a 16% instead of a 16.3% UI rate? These bills pretty much take us to where we were in 2009. I guess without Obamacare, we would be at like 20% by now...so we probably delayed the End Of Insurance by 20 years?

15 million kicked off their insurance by next year. Right in time for the midterms. Atleast people can hold them accountable if they pass this monstrosity.

That uninsured # has gone down 1 mil with each new version, so I guess all we have to do is get to TrumpCare 25.0 to have a helpful bill.


Anyways, it is very clear now that this bill is terrible and should not be supported by any sane person or politician. Enough said.

The GOP can always spin it like: "It's not that 22 million people are LOSING their health care but it's more like 22 million people are just GAINING 'muh liberty' "

You mean 22 million now have "choices."
