UPDATE: 7:42 p.m.: President Donald Trump is demanding a vote Friday in the House on the Republican plan to repeal and replace Obamacare, White House Budget Director Mick Mulvaney said. If the bill fails, Trump is prepared to move on and leave Obamacare in place, Mulvaney said.

Get ready for single payer. If Trump and the republicans shit themselves I highly doubt Trump will be re-elected in 2020. then again who knows.

I can almost guarantee whoever the dems run it'll be left of Obama. Way left.

how does it "collapse"?  what are indications and ramifications and probable responses by industry and consumers?

At first glance I thought WTF, but after I thought about it a bit, I'm not so sure.  Trump is confident that the affordable care act will implode anyway, so he's playing a "Trump" card, either pass this now, or let the ACA implode, then they will forced to do something, and it's probably going to be something that cuts even deeper than the current bill.  I think he's confident he will win, either win now and move on, or wait a while and win bigger later.

This is a really healthy debate.  ObamaCare was passed with very little consideration.  You could say that the debate that should have happened seven years ago is finally happening.  Ryan Care may not pass and that's fine.  What we eventually get out of this will be better than either.

Wasn't Spicer on like 6 hours ago saying the vote would proceed as planned?  This is hilarious.  Turns out opposition coalitions don't work too well when they're no longer the opposition.

Maybe, just maybe, they should have burned the time from all those symbolic repeal votes figuring out what the shit they'd do if they were back in power...

One thing is, if it doesn't pass, which I hope it doesn't, hopefully FBHObama care will implode soon, then its on the Demos, if they pass this POS bill, then it falls on the Rhinos

It'll fall on the republicans because they did NOTHING about it, when they were voted in. This problem right here will put the dems right back in power, and will set them up to put in single payer. Then if you're a working stiff, you're going to be corn holed. Be ready for EVERYONE's tax bracket going around 45% to pay for that mess.

What option is there? The RINOS will block the conservatives from a full repeal. This is the closest compromise the GOP can possibly agree on.

What can Trump do? He said he would not veto the new bill, he gave green light to do whatever.

The fucking GOP can't even agree with itself.

There can be no solution, we are fucked for now.

I don't have a problem if dropping the issue for a few months allows the right bill to be developed.   Why it was not done in the last six or seven years is beyond me.   Do it right.

Go ahead and implement tax reform (cuts).

If a good health care bill takes six months or eight months to properly write, so be it.

Ryan is a dildo.

Not necessarily a bad idea.  With no mandate, ACA WILL implode.  The question is how soon.  Hopefully, Repubs are in control when it does and they can shape the replacement.

I already seen this coming. Single payer is inevitable, and it's going to suck. It's really going to hit the middle and low class folks, and they don't even know it yet. If you pay federal tax money you're going to get raped.

Don't replace it.

Let it collapse and realize just how much of a fucking incompetent idiot the jug eared fool was.

The president who is so terrified of his legacy, he's vacationing in a third world country to avoid it.

Ditch the mandate, ditch the minimum requirements, open up HSA's and eliminate cross state restrictions.  At the least that's a start.

The modified O-Care that they're proposing sucks.

Either pass it and then declare victory and move on to more popular stuff (gun bills, tax bills etc) or leave it alone and let Obamacare "fail" at which time you can blame Democrats and pass whatever the fuck you want in its place.

Unfortunately Republicans in Congress aren't smart enough to pull off either plan. They had 8 years to come up with their anti-obamacare legislation and they don't have shit. It's pathetic.

demanding? I guess he missed the part where congress can basically tell the president and his demands to go get fucked. and if he really is planning on giving up and moving to a different issue because this one bill failed, well that doesn't set a very good tone going forward with his legislative agenda.

Explain that to me.  Why does time matter?  I mean, if this proposal crashes and burns, so what?  Why not start from scratch and make something better?  People are finally talking about real  solutions to health care like allowing insurance companies to sell services across state lines, tort reform, and unlimited tax-preferred health savings accounts.  I heard all of those and more on NPR today.  This is real progress.
