If the Republicans don't do something they are F'ed big time. They have had the last few years to draft a replacement. Now they have both houses and the executive office. If they don't get something through they deserve to be tarred and feathered.

Personally i want to see obamacare repealed and nothing put in its place. Back to free market health care.

Sadly i think O-care will be this centuries social security.
View Quote
With the over regulation, free healthcare for the poor and illegals subsided by those actually paying we haven't actually had free market healthcare in a long time. The system was screwed long before Obamacare. I also don't believe the GOP wants to repeal or replace Obamacare. They are happy the way it is, and just putting on a show to appease their base. Why else would they vote to repeal numerous times when they had no power, and now suddenly its too difficult ? They don't really want it gone.

Maybe. The inevitable crash of Obamacare will still be blamed on the Republicans by the Democrats and their friends in the press for failing to pass the current Bill that would have 'fixed' it and prevented the collapse.

Part of negotiation is not getting what you hoped for.

The GOPe will have to make concessions.

The tea party freedom caucus will hold their votes until the end.

The moderates will vote for what the leadership puts up.

The democrats are going to be hooting and hollering outside trying to get riots started.

Eventually it will get better and better.

If it passes, the senate will be pressured as the fight now rest on them.

It will not be pretty to get this bastard repealed and a replacement that actually matters passed. HOLD THE LINE PATRIOTS!!!!

But the President insisted that his Healthcare  plan should come first.  Then taxes.

He also insisted on Universal Coverage.

Why do they call Obamacare, "Obamacare"?

Did HE write the Bill?   No.

But when you support it, lobby congress to pass it, and then sign it...

...that's on you.



Trump supports this Bill "100%."   That's what HE said.
He has pushed for it, lobbied the conservatives to compromise and support it, and he has praised Ryan for his effort.

You can claim otherwise, but it won't be true.

Trump has ALWAYS supported universal, government Healthcare.

Accept that fact, and be satisfied with his winning.

Good. I want single payer and I think Trump does too.

I think his slogan "repeal and replace" was very smart. It got the people clamoring for Obamacare on board with him while not ruling out a government run healthcare system. I never heard Trump say during the campaign he was against the government being involved in healthcare.

I voted for Trump because he could be liberal on some issues (guns not being one of them)

I'm going with 4D chess on this one.

If Ryan Care falls that just might cost him his Speaker job. He has not been able to pass anything in the House except for naming a WI post office. If he's not toast he should be.

Despite appearances you just know Trump despises Ryan and if you remember he tasked Ryan to come-up with something that would breeze through the House. Breezing through the House meant appeasing the Freedom Caucus but for some odd reason Ryan did not get that memo.

Ryan went all RINO on the House Bill proposing something only the likes of John McCain would love....Ryan owns any "failure", not Trump.

I think Trump played along knowing Ryan was digging himself a hole he may never get himself out of.
