You can mock the Democrats for Obamacare but at no time did they push it through just to get back at those Republicans.

This is not an intelligent, well thought out act with the best interest of all Americans - this is -- we said we were going to repeal and replace so we better...let's deal with the consequences later and blame the Democrats for putting us in this position anyways.

Democrats may have screwed up the initial health care offering but they didn't mean to...it wasn't intentional...they were trying to help people.

This isn't about helping people -- this is purely political posturing at our expense.

SWAMP drained -- lololol -- Trump and the Republican party just doubled the size and added even more despicable creatures.

Yep, and the sad part is, when all the negative aspects of the GOP Healthcare Plan starts hitting the public, Trump, and his stream-of-consciousness BS will blame the Democrats.

Skeptical

Please. the senate is a far harder sell, and with a MUCH smaller margin. They're getting close in the one place they hold a larger majority in. Its more that we are amazed they can be so suicidal.

And I do mean that in the literal sense. Lets give two examples:
1. 10 years ago a mans child gets sick, but he has no insurance, and cant afford to take the child in. Child dies from preventable causes. Man blames himself, commits suicide.
2. This year a mans child gets sick, he has lost his insurance due to say.... his local senator who was heavily involved in causing this. Who does the man shoot?

#2 will happen thousands of times next year. Its the difference between giving someone something, and taking it away.

Hopefully the Senate has more sense. It was disgusting to watch them unanimously pass a bill exempting themselves first, then pass this atrocity immediately after that.
