Third time the charm?
Derail it? You make it sound like a luxury bullet-train, speeding along with the greatest of ease. It's already off the rails and skidding to a stop. I'm in Minnesota and our Gov Mark Dayton is as liberal as they come. He says Obamacare is unsustainable and will implode. It was designed to fail and it is. I think they should just let it fail and then start over once it collapses. Maybe then the left would appreciate the attempts to provide decent health care to the people?

Seems Republicans are too tired to lie.

Republicans Know That Cassidy-Graham Healthcare Bill Is Awful

Who would have thunk?

That's not how it works. They will let it fail because the Republican goal is nothing. Starting over is not part of the agenda.

I hope it passes, there are a couple benefits above what's currently available even thought it's nothing amazing.

It's YOU.
So, when I post what the Federal Reserve has reported, I'm making it up? That's bonkers.

Take control of your own health, avoid bad habits and doctors, get the state out of the whole deal along with the reliance on insurance that has necessarily resulted.
Realize when a third party pays your bill, it is now the customer, not you, your satisfaction is irrelevant.
America is officialy a nation of whiny, helpless takers
Of course healthcare is a right. If you are against abortion then you better take care of them when they are born and throughout their life.

Um, they'd be taking a pay cut if we had single payer, so what's your point?

I'm kind of to the point that I'm sick and tired of the whole thing. So I hope the Republicans do go ahead and pass it. Then we can see how well their plan works. If it turns out to be better than Obamacare, that is great. If it isn't, well they own it lock, stock and barrel. Then it is up to them to explain to the country why they passed it and then fix it again.

I'm just tired of hearing the whining about Obamacare for all these years. Let's see if they have an ace in the hole or if they are just bluffing.

Oh, cool.

How many people would they cause to lose insurance this time around? Are they going for a record?
