Making things fail sure seems to be a new GOP long term plan for America.

Obviously it is not what the American people want, but it is a good example of how partisan US politics has become.

It's clear you don't understand the basics of obumblercare. This is why liberals are always begging for "free things"

Just because you dont like a response doesnt make it a deflection.

I didn't get behind Trump because of his healthcare plans, so the grounds for my response are completely logical. Yes itd be better if he gets something passed since it was something he campaign on, but I am ok with ACA imploding on its on just like it is now since it was pushed thru by a President -not- named Trump Obama sped up this train wreck, good job by him and yes I am butt hurt about being forced to subsidize other peoples healthcare.

It was doomed to fail from the start. I and others who pay taxes and don't suck the entitlement teet can't afford to provide more "fee stuff" to half the country.

How much higher are your taxes today than in 2008? I make a good living, but my taxes are still low.

Are you under the impression a repeal would get you a tax cut?

No, you cannot afford to provide "free stuff" for half the country but you are always able to afford the prices of the warmongers and drug monopolists, not to mention the stock market fixers that run this economy.


The simple thing is Americans need to pay for health care. They do not need private insurance companies more interested in profit growth or drug monopolists to do it. They need a progressive income tax on all the income from all sources of the top 5% of the citizenry.


There. That is a simple fix but impossible to implement because enough of our people still believe in and elect the hucksters and blatant liars in the White House and Congress.

Like clean air and clean water. Thanks to Trump, the water and air will get dirtier. How dare we expect the air we breathe to be clean. Or the rivers and lakes to be clear of pollutants.

With all the false media and how Obama has changed rules prior to leaving office, liberals calling for impeachment and lying to their followers....just let this monster implode.

See how many Democrats will still have affordable health care.

Then come with a new bill and meanwhile some Republicans who are just a puppet on a string for anti Trumpers wil have moved out of office.

Let Obamacare die by itself!
And see how much power you have after the next two elections, it would not be much. The Repubs are proving once and for all that they are nothing more than whiners, they whined and whined for over 7 years about Obamacare and when given the opportunity they could not even come up with something that would pass with them controlling both Houses of Congress. Simply letting it die off will not only hurt Liberals, or are you not smart enough to realize that Fact.
What they going to do now, the tax reform "ideas" are coming next, looks like the GOP is not going top have better luck with that either. Going to be interesting to see the mode of the Nation once they discover that the GOP are not any better at running things than the Dems, best learning lesson this Nation and its People could get. Give a Party complete control, no blaming the other guys, no excuses, either they put up or they will be shut up by the voters. Enjoy the limelight while you have it, at this rate it will not be long.
