They view Obamacare as good for the business of politics.
Now is probably not the best time to squash Obamacare.
Besides, they have many RATS to put in prison....
As much as I’d like to see it repealed, we all know that it’ll never clear the Senate on a vote. They’ll not be enough votes for cloture.
Sad but true. And we can’t blame this solely on the RINO’s in the Senate. We just plain ‘ol don’t have the votes. If and when we get 60 votes, then yes, by all means, let’s repeal it.
But yeah, in the interim, I think we should beat the ems over their heads with this issue as much as possible.
Good.
In my humble opinion, repealing Obamacare is the one way, for the GOP to lose the presidency. Leave it alone.
I think.
For real. Our healthcare does NOT need to go back to the mess we had, before.
My opinion.
So millions will live under a federal mandate to pay thousands per month for a crap medical insurance “plan” that they don’t even want and could buy elsewhere for one third the price.
All to subsidize Obama’s voters, including the ones in the country illegally.
God Bless Don Trump.
He needs it to fight the stupid scum like Lisa Murkowski.
Thanks to all the dumbscum in Alaska for voting for the crooked little poster girl for nepotism.
Taking money under the table and filling their offshore accounts is so much more important.
Retain the House, increase the GOP margin in the Senate, try again in 2019.
Even though they really don’t want to do it.
I believe it was Jim Jordan who said they would press the issue after the mid-terms, assuming they retain control of the House.
Spineless? Feckless? Waste if tax payers money? Useless? Yet, we gotta put them back in office due to the threat posed by the demoncrats.
Someone needs to sue about the subsidies. That takes it out of congress
This is why they lose the house. Screw the backstabbing, filthy, stinking, rotten, traitorous bastards. They spent all those years telling us they would. Now that they can, they won’t. Screw the GOP. I’m staying the hell home. It’s time to let it all go to hell and rebuild.
Too bad we can't afford to vote them all out. Best we can hope for is replace McConnell and Ryan with people that are willing to get things done. But I suspect these same losers that picked McConnel and Ryan will pick similar replacements.
Blood draw before 0bamacare: $185; after: $450
I’m actually fine with this. Ryan is child and can’t get it done. Jim Jordan’s got some iron in his stones and will get it done.
Turtle’s a flag that blows with the wind. He’s Vichy when it suits him, a patriot when it suits him.
When the time comes, he’ll do what he’s told.
And a portion of the electorate will give up on the GOP. The pubbies will probably like that; they seem happier in the minority.
“We need to win this election and then get more seats next year.”
***************
Same ole message every other year. All they want is to be elected, not produce results.
The thing has so many holes in it that it is bound to collapse under its own weight, and the law itself can be used by a responsible administration to carve out exceptions and loopholes to reduce costs for many Americans.
To play devil’s advocate here, and not that I am happy with the lack of repeal, why would the GOP do anything? From a purely political standpoint, Obamacare is a political albatross hung around the democrats neck. Their feeble attempts to blame Republicans for healthcare and then propose socialized medicine are just that, feeble.
From a practical standpoint, it never worked unless Obama granted waivers and other executive actions to try and bandaid it together. Trump is ripping those off. The result is that Obamacare is failing all on its own.
Of course, from a real world perspective, as Obamacare fails, John Q Public suffers with through the roof premiums and a shrinking network of doctors who you like and can keep.
