It isn't fixable.. it is socialized medicine.. unfixable.. let the free market have it back.. keep government out of it.. States should have say, not the feds.. they are only there to protect and defend and they can't even do that..

It's much better than the GOP alternative. I wish that both parties would work on a viable option for everyone, which would be single payer, IMO.

That's the truth! The Paul-Cruz faction think that not enough people are denied coverage, while the Republican women are the only Republican Senators with an ounce of empathy for the less fortunate (Murkowski-Collins)

It is working great, and would be working so much better if Republicans did not work so hard to sabotage it.

Not for the paying customers, for the takers it is good, to the middle class paying very high premiums picking up the slack of the takers it is a killer. It is socialism.. it doesn't work.

Obamacare works great here in Massachusetts. We would have been okay even if this thing had passed because this state is civil and humane and has told us we would still have health insurance. It would have cost the state a lot of money though. Our REPUBLICAN governor hated this stupid bill because we are fiscally conservative and if everyone pitches in, we can all have health care that we can afford. Obamacare does need to be improved, I'll be the first to say it. So just improve it and then we'd have great health insurance.

No one is saying it is perfect. It needs to be FIXED. Then it would work a lot better.

Obviously the ones who get free or reduced premiums it is working. Those who pay through the nose are jumping ship leaving the government with higher costs.. and many jumping ship are now with no insurance..

Wow. Trump's biggest campaign promise failed AGAIN. He said that he would repeal and replace Obamacare "Day 1. Same day, maybe same hour." Six months later, still no repeal and replace.

Another YUGE defeat for Trump's legacy.

ROFLMAO at all these Dems who know all about the GOB bill. Then they tell us that not one Dem was invited to the sessions.

Democrats are pretty pathetic. They had no problem passing a bill they hadn't read, and think that's the way it should be done.
