Maybe Obama will just sign it this time

And people wonder why people support Trump.....

I don't know if its number 56, but there had been over 30 last year this time, so its close enough.

Beats the hell out of actually accomplishing something.

As a conservative that wants ACA put to the dustbin of history, I am seething mad at the idiots in congress spinning their wheels with this nonsense.




The level of ignorance and arrogance in the republican leadership is mind boggling. THEY are the reason Trump is getting the support he is.

I think this may be the first to actually get through both houses. I doubt that he will sign it, and I doubt that they can muster the votes to override it.

You know, had the GOP spent as much energy working at fixing the the problems that still exist with the health care system, instead of trying to repeal the ACA, we could probably have the best health care system in the world, by now.

That would have been a real step towards "Making America Great Again."

I'm always happy when congress accomplishes nothing. I wish it did even less.

I believe this will be the frist one to actually get to Obama's desk

Isn't 56 the approximate number of times that the democrats try to redo elections that they lost or resubmit bills that are rejected? They never seem to know when to quit, so it seems natural for republicans to try the same thing.

Isn't this the truth. The GOP is unsurpassed in wasting time and money on useless votes and endless investigations. If they exerted even a fraction of that amount of energy on something productive they could actually accomplish something.

Is the ACA perfect? Far from it. Will the GOP do anything to fix it, or even simply propose some alternatives? Not a chance. They don't know how to govern. They only know how to waste their time and our money.

The GOP is tilting at windmills...again. They have no back-up plan, and never had one to begin with. They seem to take great pride in trying to take health insurance AWAY from needy, hard-working families who can't get insurance through their workplaces. GOP governors, almost to a man, have also rejected Medicaid expansions that would actually HELP their own constituents. They have no conscience, whatsoever.

The GOP is truly the party that conspires to make the lives of the 99% WORSE.
