Remember Trump said he had a great plan that would cover everyone and was cheaper. Yet TrumpCare covers fewer people AND is more expensive than Obamacare. So yeah - Obamacare is better than anything that the Republicans have put forward so far. Way better. Maybe at some point the GOP will work on improving Obamacare instead of trying to dismantle it and make it worse.

I'm fairly certain McCain is not covered under ObamaCare. I believe Congress exempted itself from that disaster.

While I agree that's a stupid thing to say, it's also kind of funny because I have a friend whose father was a doctor - an MD from El Paso (he recently passed away) - and he actually did take chickens in payment from one of his patients who couldn't pay otherwise.

These 7 Republicans will be greeted as heroes by the constituents in their districts. They were brave enough to stand up for the people who would otherwise be devastated by the passage of this piece of s*** bill. There will be a small number of conservatives who say otherwise but they are insignificant at this point.

The majority of Americans, who now see what their lives would be like if Obamacare were repealed, want it either fixed so it works for everyone or go single payer. The genie has been let out of the bottle and can't be put back in.

During the campaign, Trump promised us a healthcare plan that would not only cover everyone but be cheaper and paid for by the government. Where is this plan of his? This promise carried him over the finish line on election night. I knew when he said it he had no intention of keeping it. A lot of people who voted for him had no idea that this wonderful plan of his would in reality be a push to kick them off their health insurance.

They support Obamacare so much that they even voted no to a full repeal so i cant see them voting yes on anything to do with Obamacare repeal or replacement

But these senators are the best they have. And with Trump and Pence at the top of their party, they are desperately in need of some good people. They voted against this measure, because they knew it would lead their party into political suicide.

Actually, it does. It needs more leaders in the middle of the road with common sense who are open to compromise, and fewer leaders at the far right of the spectrum with their heads up their behinds.

At least we know who wants to keep Obamacare now, McCain may as well go back to his hospital bed, only thing he came back for is russian sanctions, there will be no bipartisanship right now on healthcare

It took Trump to let us know who the Rino's really are... DRAIN THE SWAMP...

The middle class is dropping out of Obamacare and the takers will be the only ones left . Socialism does not work .. the takers become the majority and the government starts to tax anyone who is left working, and the rich move out and employ people in other countries.. oh , that has already happened.
