The other fact is no replacement for Obamacare is needed.

I have a pre-existing condition. My wife is a diabetic. We are both on the wrong sider of 50. I have BCBS insurance for about 300 bucks a month that beats about any Obama plan.
Did you get that on the market and self pay or is that through an employer? That is about the cost a federal work pays per month for a self plus 1 plan.

I'd like to see the complete plan before they repeal the current Affordable Care Act, wouldn't you?
I would have LIKED to have seen the COMPLETE Affordable Care Act before it was originally signed but you know that didn't happen!

Through an employer like tens of millions of other Americans. It is how our nation subsidizes health care for most of us.

Here we go again.

Pelosi was not talking about the final ACA legislation, but the Senate's initial version of the bill.

As ACA was entering the final stretch, opponents were rattling on how ACA was all about "death panels," abortions, being a "job-killer," ... yada, yada, yada.

The Senate had not yet passed a bill, and until they produced an actual piece of legislation that could be matched up, debated, and reconciled with the bill passed by the House, the process was at a standstill.

Pelosi pointed out that the Senate would need to actually vote for a bill so that everyone could see what was included in their version and what was not.

Just to be clear, Pelosi was talking about the initial Senate version of the bill and how it was all pure speculation at that point. No one knew what the Senate bill would actually contain until the Senate actually voted on it.

I realize this is a difficult concept to grasp. But I'm willing to repeat it as often as necessary.

Thanks to those of you who clarified the issue for me. I'm glad to know that you don't expect any better behavior from the republicans than the democrats or mind that they will take their cues from Nancy Pelosi.

You actually expect them to comprehend something longer than what can be seen on a bumper sticker?

Remember that.. Republican and Democrat politicians are the EXACT same.. They are NOT for the people they are FOR themselves and will do/say anything to remain in office.. VOTE independent next time!

HAHAHAHAH.... love it !

OP, would you be satisfied if the GOP simply said this: "... we have to pass the health care bill so that you can find out what’s in it....”
