I do hope that whoever votes for this is gone next time they are up for reelection.

The narrative you want everyone to believe is that Republicans actually LIKE Obamacare, so they won't vote to repeal it. And that's pretty funny.

See why Dems keep losing?
However, many Republican moderates remain opposed to the bill.

they passed those bills only because it was "SAFE" to do so. They knew they would be rejected.


now they are faced with being the responsible party and they know the GOP will be (rightly) blamed if they destroy ACA... and it does not even matter how they do it, they own it.


The Republicans did NOT expect Trump to win, they expected to lose, and thus they felt safe lying about ACA, now with the house senate and WH they have nothing to hide behind.... nobody to blame...

Bc there's nothing "wrong" with Obamacare. It does what it's supposed to do. You want a free market solution to insurance then you get mad that corporations are making a profit off it. Suck it up snowflake. You could've had a public option, but got scared bc liberals and socialism and scary words.

During that time they could just say they were against it. Doing it now they would throw millions off insurance

The freedom caucus is behind this, they lost moderates in swing districts since the bill was pulled so far right.

If we have money for a wall we have money for healthcare for all. Before Trump goes throwing money to the military he needs to address the infrastructure and healthcare. This guy(Trump) is always talking out of both sides of his mouth. Who can believe a word he is saying when he changes his mind the next day.

He at least has a sense of humor about himself. Unlike certain people I could mention.

Because providing health care insurance is complicated - both the mechanics and the politics.

WHO KNEW?????????????
