Each one dropping out will give permission for others to do so. Uncle Mitch is going to try and force the vote and it will be interesting to see him try. I bet 8 or 9 senators from the right wind up opposing the bill.

I just contacted my Senator about the 5-1 ratio which causes a premium increase for those between age 50-64. I said this premium increase is too high. This is a large increase in premium over the current ACA.

Folks - contact your Senators asap to voice your opinion. Be specific. Now is the time. Many are listening to their constituents on this matter. Maybe yours will listen.

This bill won't improve anything. It will just cut health insurance for more people, I think some are smart enough to realize that this would cost the Republicans a lot of votes in 2018. The ACA is bad, but what is the point of replacing it with something worse?

Contact BOTH of your US Senators today on this matter. Voice your opinion. It matters.

Heres' a link on how to contact your US Senators. Pick your state. They have a section on their web site called either Contact Me or Email Me. Then it gives a form that you fill out. Give a few sentences on how you feel about the current healthcare bill.

One of my senators is a Democrat. The other one is worthless.

So, ACA is working for you then? Really? The only alternative to an alternative is letting ACA keep running until the wheels fall off. Is THAT really what you want?

You do not understand how a bill moves through congress, huh?

This is early days in the process, so of course it sucks at the moment. ACA sucked before, during and after the process... yet the Dems passed it.

Remember "the only way they could pass it was to lie because voters are too stupid to understand"

That's what your precious Dems feel about you... or was Gruber talking about other stupid Americans?
