U.S. Democrats took to the Senate floor on Monday to throw a spotlight on behind-the-scenes efforts by the Republican majority to repeal former President Barack Obama's healthcare law, known as Obamacare.
In a series of floor motions, inquiries and lengthy speeches, Democrats criticized the closed-door meetings that Republicans have been holding to craft a replacement for Obamacare, formally known as the Affordable Care Act. They called for open committee hearings and more time to consider the bill before a Senate vote, which Republicans say could come in the next two weeks, although a draft bill has yet to emerge publicly.

“We have to pass the bill to see what’s in it”
Good!
Can you say “chutzpah”?
....“We have to pass the bill to see what’s in it...
As always, the rules are different for democrats.
Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said that the closed-door Republican meetings on healthcare amounted to “the most glaring departure from normal legislative procedure that I have ever seen.”
Since we in the Democrat Party did it under Obama!
This is the problem with Journalism in a nutshell, they intentionally with hold pertinent facts, like the FACT that Schmucky and his pals has been doing this their whole career
I’d like to know what the GOPe is planning for our healthcare. McConnell and Co haven’t earned my trust so far. Too bad so many freepers defend their secrecy, just because the Democrats are hypocrites. Well, the Dems may be hypocrites - of course they are - but that doesn’t excuse the GOPe from acting like Pelosi and doing their work with insurance lobbyists behind closed doors. They’re counting on the base to be suckers and defend them no matter how much they shaft us
So you don’t care what the GOPe is concocting in secret? The fact that Shumer is a hypocrite means that the GOPe can do whatever they want and your ok with it?
“Please Republicans... do what you can to help us stop the progress on repealing the 0bamacare insurance scam. We want to spend hours, days, weeks in the Senate discussing it so we can demagogue everything.”
retards
Good for the Republicans. The democrats always do this. They engage in tactics to ram their stuff past the opposition. Then when turnoabout becomes fair play the Dems scream for the Marquis of Queensbury rules. And of course, lil Johnny McCain eagerly obliges.
Well, I say to the democrats, “chuck you Schumer.”
Schumer sent a letter to McConnell requesting Dems be involved. His only intention is to spy and trash the effort.
I think you’re presenting a false choice.
Nobody wants crappy legislation to come out of this.
What goes around comes around, bitches.......................
Why, gosh! I remember when the dims included the pubbies when Bowbama Care was developed and written up! NOT!!!!
It will suck.
It’s not a false choice in any way, shape, or form.
The message the voters sent in November was to repeal that crap.
Period.
No secrecy is needed for a reset.
I can’t fault anything you say, there, William. I don’t trust any of them. At least with democrats, you know you are going to get monstrous statist command and control government.
Democrats criticized the closed-door meetings but it was ok for them with Obamacare you have to pass the law to see what is in it.
They make parasites look useful.
Yes I care very much that they are doing everything in secret, so much so I believe President Trump should Call their Bluff and Force the Issue.
When and ONLY WHEN Government Lives under the Same Laws as us will anything substantial happen
OBAMACARE Can be Saved!!
There are about 22 MILLION Public Employee’s Nationwide that are Ineligible for Subsidies, this infusion of New Paying Customers will SAVE OBAMACARE. the SEIU and every other Public Employee UNION fully Endorse Obamacare and have held numerous rallies in support thereof.
Let’s Give them what they want!
I believe our Public Employees deserve the Best Health Care America has to offer, and that is the Official Government Health Care Plan, Obamacare. So why don’t you quit pussyfooting around and Proudly Proclaim your desire to see that ALL Federal Employees receive the Finest, Most Affordable Health Care the US has to offer, OBAMACARE.
All the Money currently wasted on these inferior high priced cadillac plans can be diverted to the Wall.
There is ONLY ONE WAY to make it happen:
Executive Orders or Legislation, the chance of CONgress doing it are the same as OJ Confessing, so I am choosing Executive Orders.
1. All waivers to the Affordable Care act are hereby repealed.
2. There shall be NO funds drawn from the treasury to pay for Health Insurance for ANY Federal Employee except Members of the Armed Services.
3. ALL Federal Employees except members of the US Armed Services, SHALL purchase their own personal and Family Health Insurance from the Affordable Care Exchange in the state they legally reside.
4. There shall be NO Medicaid Reimbursement funds allocated to any State that does not have 100% of their Public Employees enrolled in the Affordable Care Act.
And to make sure it is Bipartisan, President Trump should VETO it every Time and FORCE them to Override his Veto to Repeal this Monstrosity.
Sign these 4 orders and it will be FULLY REPEALED in Less than 30 days.
NOT UNTIL, Anyone want to make a BET???
When and ONLY WHEN Government Lives under the Same Laws as us will anything substantial happen
