50 Billion. Dollars in direct payments to insurers and only 3 said no??
But Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, issued a joint statement with Sens. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, Ron Johnson, R-Wis., and Rand Paul, R-Ky., indicating he is “not ready” to vote in favor of the bill.
plus McQueeg, Angus and Snowe haven’t come forwards yet...
I would love it if someone would ask why the government thinks it needs to be in the healthcare business and where they get the authority to do it.
END IT, dont even TRY to mend it
The conclusion is now inescapable. We will never again have market-based health care in this country.
One story says four this one three. My guess they will come around with some horse trading
Don’t forget, Obamacare is STILL the law of the land. This bill and the House bill are not law and may not ever be law.
If the bill in its final reconciliation form does not pass, then Obamacare stays in place, where it will collapse of its own weight and lack of money.
That will end BOTH.....................
Up to 4 now apparently.
Excellent point...I just worry now that Republicans own this.
GOP: Just repeal the damn thing, as you PROMISED.
“The Affordable Health Care Act is hereby repealed in its entirety.”
A one-sentence bill. Stop fooling around with this nonsense, Republicans. You could do it all these years when you knew if would be vetoed by Obama, but now you suddenly have erectile dysfunction.
Useless idiots.
“plus McQueeg, Angus and Snowe havent come forwards yet...”
You do know that Olympia Snowe is no longer in the Senatae, right?
Lee, Johnson, Cruz, and Paul are against it. Collins will oppose it because it defunds Planned Parenthood. Murkowski, Portman, and Capito will oppose it for the Medicaid cuts. I’d be surprised if there are 40 votes for it.
And her replacement King's basically a Democrat.
I meant the other female northeasterner, my slip up!
Angus King is an “Independent” who caucuses with the Dims.
Yeah, I don’t think this bill is going anywhere in the Senate.
yawn.
time to negotiate the details.
that is what will happen.
