Trumpcare Megathread: It's dead (for now)

[TheSaint250]

If these s***ty bills keep getting proposed with no changes, I will start saying "F*** it. Keep damn Obamacare"

For the love of God, GOP, get a good bill

[TheSaint250]

It's time to scrap this and move onto tax reform and infrastructure GOP.

Please

[TheSaint250]

I still want a better alternative, but something led by Heller and Collins, for example, not McConnell

That's the sound of Sandoval saying to Heller. "Heel boy. Now vote no."

Heller is still saying he is "undecided", but I don't buy it. I think he is a "no" and just waiting for someone else to be the third no.

Probably. He can't piss off Democrats in a tilt D state and can't piss off GOPers in a state where high GOP turnout means re-election.

Does everyone really think Heller would be primaried if he votes no? That seems kinda far fetched. At least he's much more likely to lose in the general if he votes yes.

Looney clown Sharron Angle could come out of her crypt and pull it off

I think she's already running in NV-02

[TheSaint250]

At least he's not on board with just a flat-out repeal.

But they should move to tax reform now.

[TheSaint250]

If Mitch were smarter he would take a hint and move on to tax reform, but that's too much to ask.

What's the next step being reported in the news?

Joint statement by physician, hospital, and insurer groups opposing G-C: https://twitter.com/thomaskaplan/status/911740943187021824.  This kind of agreement among different segments of the industry is unusual, to say the least.

McCain has been castigated by some Republicans for his opposition, but if it's the death blow for this bill, he will have saved the GOP from itself.

Didn’t Kimmel say insurance groups wanted this or something?

Bill Cassidy says they'll be replacing GC with yet another bill tomorrow: https://twitter.com/abcpolitics/status/911958582811295744

Whatever the new bill is, it's not passing. Murkowski and Collins will oppose it on ideological grounds (and what does it say about the GOP that I can tell any healthcare bill they propose will be cruel before it's even unrelieved?), as will McCain on procedural grounds.

This will probably be even more of a disaster than any of the previous attempts considering they basically pulled an all-nighter over the weekend to write a massive piece of legislation like it was a college paper.

*has 8 years to create new health care plan*

Congressional GOP: I'll do it the night before

[TheSaint250]

I wish she, Murkowski, and McCain would write a bill. If they’re gonna shoot it down, I would like to see their (most likely better) alternative, all three of them.
