I'm glad Obamacare is not the Constitution.

I actually agree with Ryan from last year: "The idea that Obamacare is the law of the land for good is a myth."

Our good friends Jim DeMint and Hailsmaier at Heritage.org. have outlined what needs doing.

>>Insurance premium hikes will start hitting people next month. The Freedom Caucus killed the repeal and left town for spring break.<<

Just repeal, which SHOULD have been the only option on the table, never had a chance for the reason I stated in my post.

If you are being stoned to death, making the stones 20% smaller changes nothing.

And now you’ll get single payer when Trump makes a deal with the Dems. Good job. Just remember he came to you first and you rejected him.

What the heck are you talking about? Who did I reject? Answer: NO ONE. For seven years I have waited and hoped for the REPEAL of this communist medicine disaster. That's all.

Republicans will own those higher rates.

BULLSHIT. The Dems will own everything which flows from the ACA. Republicans passing the AHCA would have had NO effect on the rate increases expected later this year.

BS....how can they be blamed for something jammed down our throats by the Dems and moderates? Have you heard one word of consternation against those two? No! Why? Because the pundits are mods at best! People are squeamish about giving up peer and that’s what Obamacare is to DC - POWER! The Freedom Caucus at least holds to their word...REPEAL! To hell with modifying. Repeal it to the laws in place prior to it’s enactment and start from there. Anything else is trying to reapportion power. The Freedom Caucus at least kept their promise to repeal unlike the moderate dem light repubs! Big sigh.... I’m more convinced we are left center than right center as a nation every day ... God save us...

No. This is (not entirely) largely a group of neverTrumpers and Cruzites.

Jordan and Brat are great, but many there are still looking for ways to hurt Trump. According to Poe who just quit they moved the goal posts every time there was a deal.

"Freedom Caucus & Ryan are 2 biggest losers. "

The kabuki party, known as the Repubikan party is the biggest loser.

After 6-7 years bloviating about doing something about Obolacare, when it was their turn to lead, to actually accomplish something....monkeys humping a football. Finger pointing & hysterical kabuki faggotry.

Worse than useless, they're FARKING LYING SCUMBAGS.

We need treason trials and hangings on the mall

There may not be much of a Freedom Caucus in 18 months. They screwed up, bigly, because they are now part of the problem.

If Ryan’s bill had succeeded everyone who supported it would now be credited with saving 0bamaCare. And “improving” it.

“Costs go through the roof when the government unconstitutionally mandates that everyone MUST be covered and must be covered ...”

Problem might be that too many citizens haven’t felt enough pain due to increasing costs. Or, they fear not being covered more than paying exorbitantly for coverage.

Then there’s politicians wanting to making their opponents look bad.

“yes, people will lose their coverage.”

Does that mean people will involuntarily lose coverage, or are they counting people will opt out because they don’t want to pay for coverage, and those people are being counted as “losing coverage”?

Let’s be real: people who are getting a 100% free ride.

Many who don’t need it.

I worked really hard to get rid of Eric Cantor even before Dave Brat came on the scene.
I was making my own signs and posting them all over our district including in his neighborhood to wake people up to his duplicity.
If we had not Cantorized him in June of 2014 it is likely they would have passed Rubio’s amnesty.

Something you may not know about Ted Poe.

Truth is the Freedom Caucus are heroes. This was no “repeal” bill; it was merely a “repair” of obamacare.

None of it will get done. Not the repeal, not the tax overhaul, not the replace, not the reduction in the budget, NOTHING will get done.

In 18, the democrats will again gain control of the congress and we will have a lame duck POTUS.

Better be ready to accept single payer healthcare because that is where this is headed if the RepubliCONS dont get off their asses and do what was promissed.

Still waiting for that healthcare bill from the FC to be presented.
Fact is, there will be no such bill and if there is one presented, they wont get the votes in the house to pass it.

Those are the facts, sad as they are.
