Two more GOP senators defect on healthcare bill [Repeal Dead]
TheHill.com ^ | 07/17/17 | Jordain Carney

GOP Sens. Jerry Moran (Kansas) and Mike Lee (Utah) announced on Monday night they will not support taking up a bill repealing and replacing ObamaCare, effectively blocking the legislation.

"This closed-door process has yielded the [bill], which fails to repeal the Affordable Care Act or address healthcare’s rising costs. For the same reasons I could not support the previous version of this bill, I cannot support this one," Moran said in a statement.

Lee added on Twitter that "my colleague @JerryMoran and I will not support the MTP to this version of BCRA."

All of these people are One World Government supporters. They support what the commie homodims support. Now you can see why the Republic is doomed. We vote and elect these so called republicans, hoping to stop the tide of the commies and OWG. How can you when the ONLY mob you can vote for are THESE commies. The Republic has no chance. The ONLY way out of this mess is in the hands of Almighty God. If you don’t believe it, I challenge you to pick up a Bible and read it. The ANSWERS are there. I put my faith there years ago. Not in government, not in man, and especially in the republican party. Seek Him while you can.

Trump needs to sign an executive order tonight requiring all federal government employees to be placed on Obamacare health plans.

Presto! It will be gone in one week.

(Repeal Dead)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Repeal was never in the mix.
The GOP wants to keep 80% of Obamacare.

Neither the Republicans nor the Democrats care about We The People. They only care about those lining their pockets.

Let ObamaCare crash and burn, and then Trump can step up to the microphone and push a solid plan directly to the people.

Well, since there are not 50 Republican votes to cut one thin dime from Medicaid, I would say the chances of repeal are - slim.

Maybe they can prop it up long enough for the RATs to maintain blame? IMHO they should do a straight repeal and then reopen the markets.

Pubbies don’t want a repeal bill passed

They passed measures in LARGE numbers. When they knew 0bami would NOT sign it.

We have BOTH houses, like they asked us to..in order to get repeal passed.

This proves that they are ALL nothing but liars.

Mike Lee has turned out to be a huge disappointment. His trying to flip out Trump, on the convention floor. absolutely confirmed that for r me.

The GOP, of course.

Looks like we are once again at a Mexican standoff.

Not enough votes to repeal.
Not enough votes to pass the GOP plan.

The GOP seems incapable of Governing.

It would be tragic to lose the house and senate in 2018.
No more conservative SC justices. No more conservative federal judges.
etc, etc.

The Republicans stopped talking about Obamacare after the 2012 Election. The leadership is to blame for not being able to repeal it now, because they stopped talking about the bad things in the law.

These idiots had 7 years to come up with something. They didn’t think Trump was going to win, so they were prepared to sit there for another 4 years and whine that if they only had a GOP President they would repeal Obamacare. Well, they got one, and they won’t.

I don’t particularly care myself. If the liberals don’t see Obamacare crashing, they will try to convince the people evil, sinister Drumpf got rid of something splendid and wonderful. Let it fail and move on then.

The Democrats will.

No Republican voted for Obamacare.

They are not obligated to fix it, make it work better, "conservatize" it, or anything else.

Full repeal, or let Obamacare crash and burn.

I don't blame Moran and Lee.

Now let's come up with the straight repeal vote that was done ad infinitum during the Obama years. Let's get on the record now to see who was merely posturing during those years.

The government compliant 1.6 liter flush toilet has insufficient force to budge a Washington turd.
