Conservative Republicans are Today’s Biggest Losers


Why? Because they didn’t want to sign off on a garbage bill?

There was no repeal, there was only rearranging of Obamacare.

If this is losing, I’m happy to lose every day.

Concur; the obstructionist caucus gave the Democrats a victory over President Trump and he has to deal with them to get a deal, not the Republicans alone.

"While pointing fingers, conservative Republicans in Congress should look in the mirror. Maybe these Republicans meant well, in a naïve sort of way. After all, Rep. Paul Gosar of Arizona (a dentist) told The Washington Post that he came to Washington “to do health care right.” Rep. Louie Gohmert said that “a no vote means we save Donald Trump from a Democratic majority in 2019.” Others vehemently argue that Obamacare should be immediately repealed, but that Congress should give itself until midterms to pontificate over a replacement (all, while millions of Americans lose health coverage). Unfortunately, none of this is politically feasible. Was the American Health Care Act exactly what the Freedom Caucus wanted? No. Did it offer conservatives the best healthcare deal they may ever get? Probably. The time had come to pass a plan that could receive 216 votes in the House, and 51 in the Senate. Conservative Republicans blew it big time.

By comparison, President Trump is nothing if not pragmatic. In an interview with Robert Costa of The Washington Post, he argued that his next efforts at healthcare reform will garner bi-partisan support once Obamacare premiums exponentially increase, coverage options decrease, and the program implodes. This is good politics. But, a bi-partisan effort guarantees that the Freedom Caucus will be locked out of negotiations, with the bill too centrist for their taste. Trump said so himself. When asked whether a bi-partisan bill would free him from having to court those farthest to the Right, he replied “a lot of people might say that,” opining that such a possibility would “end up with a better health-care plan. A great plan. And you wouldn’t need the Freedom Caucus.”

The mandatory requirement had to go, along with all instances of “..as the (bureaucrat in charge) shall determine..”.

The stupid, it burns. The left’s glee over the failure of RINOCare will become an albatross around their necks.

Conservatives avoided having the collapsing socialized medicine fiasco rebranded as a Republican product.

More Winning.

Not bad, but logic screams to us that without the HFC’s efforts today he would never get to when “... his next efforts at healthcare reform will garner bi-partisan support once Obamacare premiums exponentially increase, coverage options decrease, and the program implodes. “

No they aren't; n00b!

The BIG LOSERS are the DEMS!

WHY?

Because ObamaCare is still intact...well as "intact" as something that is crumbling, rapidly, to smithereenes, daily and will go completely bust shortly, all the while, costing the populace more and more and MORE money, with less and less, and LESS ability to get any kind of care at all.

There are two issues here.

Actual medical care, and patients’ access to it at market costs, including insurance for catastrophes.

And the phony fight between congressional factions.

You are only focusing on number two.

The conservatives made the right pragmatic choice in rejecting Ryancare. A RINOcrap sandwich is still a crap sandwich.

You’re completely full of shit!

All of those times the GOP House passed obamacare repeal bills, they passed ACTUAL repeal bills that repealed the original ACA bill lock, stock and barrel. The RyanCare bill is NOT a repeal bill and it is NOT what President Trump promised us.

In fact, President Trump’s administration had zip to do with writing the RyanCare bill, which is something Paul Ryan pulled out of his ass in a secret room and then introduced as whole cloth with NO input from ANYONE, JUST LIKE OBAMACARE was!

The RyanCare bill was 100% unrelated to those other, earlier, fake efforts. The RyanCare bill was FAR, FAR worse than obamacare itself, guaranteed to cost folks between 50-64 WAY more than the massively unaffordable obamacare premiums now.

RyanCare did NOTHING to eliminate the obamacare policy mandates making health insurance ridiculously unaffordable.

RyanCare did NOT allow insurance to be sold across state lines.

RyanCare did NOT bring back the medical system BEFORE obamacare.

We are not stupid. Stupid people did not elect President Trump. We know when people like Ryan are lying, and he’s ALWAYS been a liar and a fucking weasel!

The Conservative Cause are HEROS for standing up to Paul Ryan, a stance that allowed time for millions of us to raise our voices and ultimately convince WAY more Congressmen to oppose this than just the Conservative Caucus.

So, Neub, I STRONGLY suggest you go pimp your pathetic piece of shit blog at a more appropriate site, like therightscoop.com, where they’ll lap your bullshit up like it was chocolate sauce!

I agree, by not voting they let remain an unconstitutional mandate when they had an opportunity to remove it.

I hope they stop criticizing Justice Roberts now for standing by his his purist principal of judicial restraint.

Let’s hope they come to their senses soon.

We have a Country where half if not more of the Population thinks someone else owes them a Living.

They call it the Government, and it exists to make sure Life isn’t difficult and that everything is someone else’s fault.

We as Conservatives understand that the Government does not earn a living. It just steals money from the Productive Citizenry and hands it off to the modern day Loyalists who fight every day to expand its power.

My Mother always used to say, you help People who can’t help themselves, not People who won’t help themselves.

Bear in mind, her Sister, my Aunt lost her Sight to Glaucoma in her late Teens and still worked every day Sewing Clothes in what we would now call a Sweatshop.

She only stopped Working when she Married her Husband when she was in her early 40’s. Must be why I have little patience for Liberal whiners who have no idea how fortunate they are.

Liberals don’t like the term “help”. They prefer to make everything in Life a “Right”. Food, Housing, Healthcare, Job (just kidding), Cell Phones, Internet Access, the list is endless. Obamacare is just another Right, especially the part of Obamacare that’s Free, Medicaid.

Meanwhile, Productive People pay for it. Personally, Obamacare has cost my Wife and I about $30,000 since it caused us to lose our Insurance Plan back in December 2013.
We had to find new Insurance and our Premiums are over double what they were back then, costing us an additional $12,000 a Year.

The Congress critters don’t hear our stories at their Townhalls, only the Liberal whiners who say Obamacare saved their Lives like we had no Healthcare before it came along.

The secret is, we had it but they never wanted to pay for it, and they still don’t.

Sorry for the rant. Once I get started... LOL
