#1 McConnell has no one but himself to blame. He's pissed of a lot of conservatives, sided with the Democrats in congress way too many times, and bad mouthed Trump....Pay back is a female dog.

#3 The Rino Swamp creatures never really wanted to kill Obamacare as they promised. Getting rid of the mandate would yield $300 billion in additional tax cuts? We can't have those taxpayers enjoying too much relief (sarc on). McConnell's got to go.

#4 Whaaaaa

I'm with Rand on this one. Better to put it in the open that way they congress critters can't hide.

Vote for this or people keep this horrible tax and you lose your seat.

#6 Should have cut Obamacare on day one, then at this point it would be a talking point rather than a guillotine. The Congress could have some sort of replacement ready that covered the otherwise uninsurable and be heros.

I have a huge problem with the notion of repeal and replace. It's pretty clear to me that Obamacare is a colossal and intentional failure, so we're gonna replace one stinker with another? If by replace we mean 'remove shit laws and regulations and allow the market to work', then that should be the solution, and leave it to the states to resolve the uninsured 'problem'.

#9 Only replace the part that covers the super-poor and previously existing conditions. Make it an extension of VA services and then pump money into the VA so. Then nobody would dare allow the VA to be misrule or underfunded again.

I believe that is the only way to make the repeal politically palatable because it's too easy to mischaracterize everything after they let it linger on this long.
