Welp, that was anticlimactic.
Let's play this out...
1. Senate Writes it's own bill, includes pre-existing conditions
2. Senate narrowly passes the bill
3. Because the bill was altered, it has to go back to the house
4. House freedom caucus kills the bill just like the first time because it has pre-existing conditions.
5. No repeal. Obamacare remains the law of the land.
The Democratic party may be out of touch, but the Republican party is ridiculously incompetent.
>freedom
>not if you can catch a cold
A party of wet noodles
Yep. Drumpf and House Repubs knew this. They're playing charades to try and make it look like Trump finally got a win. Goddamn I am sick of winning! REEEEE
It looks like Collins from maine is heading the senate version.
It will have an opt out for states but if they choose to opt out it auto enrolls people under 45k into medicare.
Its more liberal than Obamacare
>I'm tired of winning
Winning what exactly?
>It will have an opt out for states
Thats fine. Let each state make up its own decision.
>but if they choose to opt out it auto enrolls people under 45k into medicare.
Yeah that's bullshit.
Was sarcasm my friend.
>no prexisting conditions
>rape is a virus
>same forced mandate?
>exemption in Congress has remained
>prices will go up 20% in 2 years
YAY
>The Democratic party may be out of touch, but the Republican party is ridiculously incompetent.
Yes, yes they are. Pants on head retarded at that.
I don't think mainstream career Republicans actually want to be the majority party. I'm convinced they are happy to be the minority party that acts like the spoiler but are really just just happy sit on the margins and eat off of the fat of the land.
I wish they would distinguish a self-inflicted condition (obesity, lung cancer from smoking, condition from a suicide attempt, etc) and a pre-existing condition
All that is bullshit. Smokers dont give themselvea cancer. You are not cars. Cars need insurance. Not your hospitals
Senate consideration will be scheduled following the completion of procedural and budgetary scorekeeping reviews," a top GOP aide added.
The working group is made up of members of the three committees that have jurisdiction over healthcare: Finance, Budget and the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions panel.
Cornyn said Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, who has co-authored her own Obamacare replacement measure, "has been an integral part of the discussions."
Collins, who is not a member of the working group, has written a proposal with Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., that would allow states to keep Obamacare or provide an alternative that would entail auto-enrolling residents in a basic health insurance and pharmacy plan.
>they are happy to be the minority party that acts like the spoiler but are really just just happy sit on the margins and eat off of the fat of the land.
This.
They're there for the prestige and the free fliights and the bacon-wrapped shrimp. They don't give a fuck about governing, they don't even have a governing philosophy.
what are you on about, leaf?
if some degenerate refuses to quit smoking after 20 years and contracts a tumor in his lung, he's not entitled to my tax dollars to pay for his treatment
Freedom Caucus says they are working with allies in the Senate to ammend the bill to be more conservative. Fingers crossed for Randcare
Hilarious how pol doesnt want to talk about this.
Polling now indicates that the majority of americans now approve of Obamacare which is why the senate is refusing to consider the hoise bill.
Maybe, just maybe, people want free health care and your fevered dreams of some free market just arent in touch with modern times
you're a fucking retard, it will be watered down and barely passed, or nothing
So what's the point of the Senate if they just get to choose which bills they want to vote on?
Wasn't obamacare going to explode this fall because of funding issues anyway?
Source? The liberal media is hammering home that it's either pre-existing conditions or bust.
A reminder to everyone that IF YOU ARE FOR PRE EXISTING CONDITIONS, YOU ARE FOR OBAMACARE.
It is the number one reason premiums are skyrocketing
>freedom from vs. freedom to
figures a FUCKING LEAF wouldn't understand such a simple concept
Apparently the GOP has read the polling data and is wanting to expand medicare. So you repeal Obamacare but basically start UHC which is what Obama wanted all along.
Get this: Since the bill isnt budget neutral they cant even use reconciliation which means they will need 60 votes regardless.
Fucking priceless
Well the vast majority of americans support protections for those conditions so it looks like we are headed to UHC.
All people.needed was a taste and they became open to socialism. This backlash against the gop is spectacular to behold.
They passed a bill with a 17% approval rating.
Why is everyone so short sighted on this?
If obamacare remains, it will implode. Even Hillary admitted this.
Trump just has to wait until it's so bad that even the democrats will have to support a new bill.
People will blame trump and if millions suddenly lose coverage they will just expand medicare.
Dont believe me? Collons from Maine is a GOP senator proposing just that.
This is the reality: Millions of people you meed to win an election have gotten subsidies and handoits and repealing preexisting conditions or gov entitlements isnt politically viable.
Americans just dont believe in the free market any longer and want the gov to step in.
So let's recap, everyone. Shall we?
>#1. Locking up Shillery
Dropped by Trump himself
>#2. Banning Mudslimes
Struck down by the courts
>#3. Labeling China a currency manipulator
Dropped by Trump himself
>#4. Repealing and Replacing Obamacare
Killed by the GOP itself
>#5. Banning Mudslimes (revised)
Struck down by courts (again)
>#6. Re-negotiating NATO
Dropped by Trump himself
>#7. Funding the wall through the budget agreement
No funds allotted for wall in budget agreement
>#8. Restricting federal funding for sanctuary cities through budget agreement
No such restrictions made under budget agreement
>#9. Repealing and Replacing Obamacare (revised)
Killed by the GOP itself (again)
But yeah, we're gonna win win win
The Republican Party should endorse universal health care AND a hard-line immigration stance, with safeguards in place to stop niggers and spics from abusing it
