Trumpcare Megathread: It's dead (for now)

[Dr. Arch]

Thank goodness

[Ebsy]

Rest in Peace the FY 2017 Budget Reconciliation instructions, which expired a few minutes ago.

We hardly knew ye.

All bow to ObamaCare, our newest entitlement program, now basically safe forever.

They'll try again, and even before the 2018 elections, McCain or Menendez could be leaving.

No that it's out of the way, we can go all-in on single-payer.

Thankfully single payer will never actually pass.

Don't be so sure.

As long as Republicans have presidency and Congress, it's not safe. We must stay vigilant.

Unless the Republicans gain seats in the Senate next year, which is very possible with the amount of red state Democrats up for re-election...

It would be amazing to use this time to work out the details of what a solid single-payer system would look like so we're not caught flat-footed when we're in power next. It's not simple, and it won't be easy, but the potential payoff would mean so much to so many people.

Okay, so I guess we'll get a new trainwreck of a bill at the beginning of 2018, which will probably fail once again to get enough votes, right?

Correct. Another year full of Trump losing to look forward to.

[MasterJedi]

Hoping next year turns into a tax reform/ACA repeal failure, would be awesome to super depress turnout for Republicans due to the ineptitude.

Republicans are privately admitting that perhaps Obamacare is here to stay, after all.  Assuming it survives Trump's attempts to sabotage it, that is:

I'm really not sure how much Trump can do on his own.

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

What Trump's done so far (cutting Outreach, basically repealing the birth control mandate) doesn't help.

[Badger]

Unsticky please.

[Person Man]

Yeah. This is already post 1924. I don't think Obamacare will be repealed in another 70 some odd posts.

[7,052,770]

Unsticky please.

As long as Trump is still fighting for it (and he is, because it only failed because a non-existent senator was in a non-existent hospital, according to Trump), this thread should remain stickied at be at the forefront of everyone's attention.

Why the hell would you say this? You just tied yourself to all the negative fallouts from healthcare.
