I kinda like the idea that any healthcare bill the gov't considers MUST apply to any and all Congressional and gov't employees. As a prod to get McConnell and Ryan off their lazy asses, all current gov't heathcare policies are permanently cancelled, as of yesterday. I wonder how long it would take them to get a good policy together? Gees, guys, you've had since 2010 to have a draft in the works, but you continue to be so busy fund raising, you can't do any work for those who put you there. This is a wake-up call, Bucko!

Now that "Trumpcare" or "Ryancare" is gone, the nation must live with Obamacare. A Democratic program from birth, it is visibly failing. And Democrats now own it again, as not one Democrat was there to help reform it. In the off-year election of 2018, they may be begging for Republican help in reforming the health care system.

I think Trump wanted the bill to fail. Any new health care that was attributed to the Republicans would be declared a failure by the MSM even if it was considerable better then Obamacare. Trump had to look like he tried. But the endgame is to have the Dems admit Obamacare is a failure and come crawling to Trump to fix it when it finally implodes. That would be the only way to document that Obamacare was indeed a failure and Trump fixed it.

Route or rout?

I see either one being correct...

...as long as one of them leads to Ryan’s exit.

Old news. We’d like to hear more about the missing $10 TRILLION from the Defense Dept. during the last ten years. That’s the amount of national debt that Obama racked up and someone should know where it went. You can’t “lose” $10 TRILLION without a trace.

Why should I only type 2 or three paragraphs if the excerpt is not necessary?

Obviously you have never posted an article, otherwise you would know that any articles that have do be excerpted, the limit is 300 words.

You might want to read this and bookmark it.

Updated FR Excerpt and Link Only or Deny Posting List due to Copyright Complaints

Besides it's don't as in do not get banned, not don;t.
the word "don;t" does not exist.

Representative Mo Brooks just filed a bill that completely repeals Obamacare:

FR Article post

"Effective as of Dec. 31, 2017, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is repealed, and the provisions of law amended or repealed by such Act are restored or revived as if such Act had not been enacted," the bill states.

Mo Brooks is a member of The House Freedom Caucus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Call Congress at 202-224-3121

Ask your Congress Critter to sign the discharge petition for US Representative Mo Brooks's bill titled, "Obamacare Repeal Act"!!!!!!!!!!!

When did that happen? The reason was obviously something else than an article by Townhall.com, I just did a search and found no reference to it. If you have a link to it, than kindly post it. I did a search in FR and found nothing

But so I make me clear, I will post Townhall.com entire articles as long as I want to and as I feel like. The only articles that have to excerpted from Townhall.com are those by the Associated Press.

Here are the sites that have to be excerpted.

These sites must be excerpted and linked only [300 words or less, 1/2 the words or less for short articles]:

All McClatchy sources must be excerpted and linked.

If you noticed Townhall.com is on the list.

The reason why it shut down was definitely something else other than Townhall.com

That all sounds good and fine if every republican and conservative will go along with it and if only 51 votes are needed. I doubt that any of the rats will agree to it.

The worst thing we can do is not get people on record as to either support complete repeal, or not.

You can’t manage what you can’t measure.

Anyone who refuses to put their name to a clean repeal, but campaigned on it, needs to have their phones melted, be publicly protested, and if they still refuse, primaried.

No more GOPe lying hypocrites!!!!

Sure, that’s fair—but I still don’t like the idea of the federal government fashioning any kind of “great healthcare plan” at all.

Trump sounds like he’s itching for that fully socialized medicine he had advocated in the past, but on the campaign trail had said the time wasn’t right for in our country right then.
