‘We've been talking about it FOR SEVEN YEARS!' – Chaffetz bashes GOP on health care

2017-07-06

[Right Scoop] Former Congressguy Jason Chaffetz says that the GOP doesn’t even have a real plan to pass their health care bill.

He kinda sums up a lot of frustration that people have with the GOP right now, and highlights why Chaffetz is leaving. He literally says that he’s grown too pessimistic about the ability for anything to get done in politics. Health care is a fantastic example. As much as Trump seems to be completely useless in the effort, it should be a grand slam touchdown for the Republicans if they had actually done any *planning* in all the years that they were whining and pretending to be against Obamacare....

#14 And now turtle neck et al are saying they 'may need Dem support'? If a meteor were to strike Congress while in session, would we care at all? Not I. I pray for such.

#13 Libertarians are on the bench hoping to get in the big game

More like doing bong-hits in the parking lot.

#12 Republicans are watching the pitches go by one by one hoping to be walked.

Democrats are giving the sign again and again for the pitcher to bean the Republican better but so far they simply can't manage to do so.

Libertarians are on the bench hoping to get in the big game.

Meanwhile Trump is playing football and scoring touchdowns on a nearly empty field.

#11 RINOs have been lying for 7 years. There is no room for doubt. They never intended to repeal, but were happy to lie about it thinking the day would never come.

#10 I fear you are right RM.

#9 Fokkin' BS. Single Payer is coming. The GOP is already setting the plate for the Turtle Gambit, "We tried and tried and tried, but we just couldn't get the votes". The shit has already been canned and is just waiting for distribution. Too much money and power to be had, don't ya know. I'm sure you'll all understand.

#6 While dying, it will jack up premiums for tens of millions causing them them to drop coverage and be fined for not having coverage. Which will cause many of formerly GOP voters to fail to vote in 2018 or vote for the Democrats. The GOP needs to either repeal or replace. If it doesn't, it will lose bigly in 2018.

And knowing GOP, we can all predict what it'll do.

#5 If they do nothing, Obamacare will die anyway.

#4 Really don't have any interest in hearing the Tim Curry look-alike who investigated everything and prosecuted nothing throughout his grand-standing career analyse anything. Even if he's correct, he's still part of the problem. Can we set him and Trey Gowdy adrift on the same raft with no food, mid-Pacific?

#3 Failure is an option. (on so many levels)

#1 When both parties are effectively endorsing Big Gubmint to one degree or another, he should not be surprised at this being one of the results.
