Repealing the ACA under Trump

[Red Five]

Interesting that both are from non Medicaid expansion states.

 

And I fully expect statements from a handful of other senators (Sasse, Rubio, etc) to come out soon about being against the current form of the bill.

Kudos to the Kansas Senator for holding a town hall and listening to his constituents

 

[commando]

so now all the republicans will do is kill obamacare and call it all good.

[Danny Bateman]

I agree Red. I'm sure now the floodgates will open. The rumors were exactly what you described. Nobody wanted to be #3. I forgot Moran actually held a town hall. I wonder how that played in at all. Kansas GOP wasn't very happy with the turnout:

 

 

Had to laugh at this response:

 

[Danny Bateman]

I just don't see how POTUS didn't just use his master negotiation skills to pull this thing all together. Oh wait.

 

[BigRedBuster]

Oh.....working so hard at making that deal.

 

He is the worlds greatest negotiator.

 

It is amazing the great things he can do.

 

Can't you just wait till he gets this involved with trade deals?

And this seems so inevitable that one may be excused for thinking this was the plan the whole time.

 

[Moiraine]

That's a good plan for the GOP. Let the 2018 elections happen first before the sh#t hits the fan. And also, maybe not all of the sh#t will hit the fan before the 2020 elections.

I believe the Republicans would need 60 votes in order to repeal and replace later.

 

I know Sasse is a supporter of that here, but they don't, nor will they get, 60 votes to do that.

[Red Five]

The art of the deal

 

[knapplc]

At least Trump gave it his best effort. And I mean that sincerely.

This is unfortunate. These people are so misguided.

 

The pro-life/anti-abortion people should be outraged.

 

Yes we should and yes I am. You stop abortions in part by both education and programs like this that prevent the need.

I think that would be the case if they flat out made a repeal bill now. But what they want to do is have a "motion to proceed" with the BCRA, then after that gets approved add an amendment to the bill repealing Obamacare. Then they call use reconciliation and just need the 50.

[BigRedBuster]

Stupidity. It proves that they really don't care about the people involved. All they care about is how it looks politically to their evangelical voters who are appalled at anything that would help or has to do with teen pregnancy.
