What a stupid argument. So, have a separate bill and vote to defund Planned Parenthood.

“””very pro-life and against Planned Parenthood, allows P.P. to continue”””


Grasping at straws?

“I am so disappointed in Trump. We went from winning to watching him suck up to Ryan pretty damn quickly.”

Perhaps President Trumps knows that Obamacare can only be repealed in stages when we only have freakin’ 52 in the Senate?

It takes 60 to repeal Obamacare outright, we don’t have it.

As I understand it, if this bill is passed today, it will head to the Senate where it could be changed, and then back to the House where it could be changed. We could still get a lot of what we want.

It wouldn’t surprise me if this was a difference in public negotiations vs. private negotiations.

At this point Trump can say he did all he could to get this bill pushed through and that Ryan failed in pulling it off as he promised.

If this proves to be the case it’s just another albatross around Ryan’s neck.

Ryan care is obamacare or commie care by another name.

Let the free market handle healthcare as it is the only thing than can. Repeal Obamacare and all it’s regulations and agencies.

Where is Cruz ? Cruz has to stand up against this bill NOW

The most Pro-Life thing Congress could do is get the Federal government completely, lock, stock and barrel out of the healthcare and insurance industries. Don’t regulate them. Don’t finance them. Don’t insure them.

“COULD” is your operative word

Pie is the sky relying on Ryan

Pass the bill to see what is in it words

It COULD be there or not...

Trump has allowed this to go through with things he says he was opposed to..Namely Illegals and Vets

I had heart that that is not in the bill. My understanding is that the bill takes the teeth out of obamacare; kills it. Then it passes Senate through reconciliation. Then, Sec. Price at HHS knows the various processes to take the axe to the rest.

There is a way to do it with 51 votes. Outlined in a thread on it.

No, I’m sorry, but an offensive comment by the prez—no conservative should vote for this monstrosity because of the dangle of withholding some funds from a single nonprofit.

Keeping healthcare from the path of full socialization, which is what Obamacare 2.0 keeps us on, is far too important for that.

You heard wrong.

It forces Vets into the VA system

Illegals are eligible

I doubt that will pass federal court muster.

From the comments I’m reading here, Trump is about to lose his most rabid supporters. This is not good news for him.

People that would defend him to the death prior to this are suddenly turning on him as he’s unable to deliver on one of his most prominent promises.

That “special connection” that Rush talks about is about to disappear.

Well then why not change it now?

Exactly right. I never understood the push to get HC out there first. Tax reform first.
